Unigear Tarp 4 x 4 Waterproof Tent Tarpaulin for Hammock with Eyelets + 8 Pegs + 8 Ropes, Rain Cover Sun Protection for Outdoor Camping Reusable

Bought for a rainy day lunch break tarp for walking with the family and outdoor shelter/ cooking area when camping with the family. I wasn't expecting a great deal from it if I'm honest. Ordered Tuesday, arrived Thursday and I've just got it out to have a muck about with it in the garden. This thing is STUPIDLY good quality for the money. I was looking at more expensive tarps from leading manufacturers like DD Hammocks. While they are great and receive fantastic reviews, after setting this Unigear tarp up it seems a waste of money to buy anything else. There are TONNES of anchor points, all double stitched. The quality of the ripstop fabric punches WAYYYYYY above it's price point and is way thicker than you'd expect. 6 decent, lightweight aluminium pegs are included and 6 very long guy ropes. Pegs come in a small tent peg type bag and the tarp, pegs and guy lines all fit easily in the main draw string tarp bag. I went for the 4 X 3M for family use. If you're soloing I'd recommend the 3 X 3M as it'll save a bit of space and weight. Overall, an absolutely stunningly good piece of kit that I have no hesitation whatsoever in strongly recommending. If it lasts us a couple of camping seasons I'm happy with that. Would 100% buy again.

Ich habe das Tarp inzwischen mehrfach im Einsatz gehabt und bin jedes Mal sehr zufrieden. Das Wasser perlt perfekt ab, und die Plane hält zuverlässig dicht (Auch bei stärkerem Regen in Norwegen)Man sollte sich allerdings vorher gut überlegen, welche Größe man wirklich braucht, da man leicht unterschätzt, wie viel Fläche man tatsächlich benötigt. Insgesamt ein sehr empfehlenswertes Produkt für den Preis.

Har den som extra tak vid tältet och även när man är ute i skog och mark.Fungerar alldeles utmärkt till det jag använder den till. Kanke skulle varit lite kraftigare 'tyg' vid fästen på tarpen.

Buena calidad y muy resistente

Update December 2019: - Having used my tarps for over 18 months I can happily report that they have far exceeded my expectations. No leaks, no tears, no problems in the varied Irish outdoor environment where every type of weather is encountered. The attachment points have held up very well and show no signs of stress yet. Pegs are as good as they day they were received. I've replaced a number of the guy lines due to wear and tear but this is entirely acceptable as I've really put these tarps through their paces on both open land and in forestry. The tarp tent is my favourite configuration with the 3x3m size as it lends itself well to this set up. I've other configurations tried too but the tarp tent is probably the most versatile, especially in poor weather. I try to fold the tarps slightly differently after each use so as to avoid creasing repeatedly along the same lines. When they are dirty I simply wash them with clean water and NO detergent. Absolutely no sign of mould on any of them but I do always take the time to ensure that I unpack and dry them properly after each trip if they are damp or wet. The silver side when turned outwards during sunny weather was really brilliant when draped over my vehicle, especially the windscreen. It actually kept the inside of the car comfortably cool. I was surprised at the difference it made. Overall I cannot in any way fault these tarps and am putting my money where my mouth is and ordering more for my outdoor activities. Original Review: May 2018: - This is not what you would expect for the price you pay, it's way better! The tarp is extremely good quality with 8 decent attachment points that when used properly will not cause any issue. The eyelets are properly inserted and it's great that they are in the tapes rather than through the tarp itself. The tapes of a thick material that seems to be hard wearing and are very well attached with excellent stitching. The 6 supplied guy lines are ok, one I received had a frayed guy line but its no big deal. The 6 pegs supplied are sturdy but lightweight aluminium round pegs. A little on the short side but adequate in "normal" ground conditions, There is little danger of bending them as they are a decent diameter. The hook is good in that it is well formed and continues around in a proper semi-circle unlike most pegs that simply have a right angle bend on the end. The tarp being two sided (one silver and the other green in my case) offers the advantage of being able to turn the silver side outwards to reflect sunlight so as to offer decent shade. Turn the silver side inwards to reflect heat from fire or to reflect light from a lantern etc... I can testify to this from experience. It comes in an appropriately sized bag of the same material with a drawstring. The pegs and guy lines supplied are packed in with the tarp further contained in a smaller but suitably sized bag of the same material again with a drawstring. Due to the adequate sizing of both storage bags the tarp is easy to pack away again with ease. If this tarp is used and maintained properly then I would expect it to last as well as any of the more expensive tarps of a similar size. Mine will see much use in various configurations from family camping, Scout activities and wild camping so I do expect them to wear out with use but no more than any of the more expensive ones would for the same use. As I can afford more, I'll buy some extra ones to have for when I need them in the future. They are so affordable it is justifiable to keep one in our family vehicles as an emergency shelter, blanket, (these have a silver reflective side remember). They can have multiple uses and due to the compact packing and light weight I'd highly recommend they be carried for outdoor activities and can even be used as an emergency stretcher if the need arises (don't do this without the proper training and experience though...!)
