Unigear Hammock Rain Fly Waterproof Tent Tarp, UV Protection and PU 3000mm Waterproof, Lightweight for Camping, Backpacking and Outdoor Adventure

This is an excellent canopy/shelter. Light weight and very well built. Every corner has reenforced stitching and a tan. Each tab is over stitched which is rare these days. Simple to use. Comes with tie downs and pegs, even the pegs have a point of the for easy use. I used it as an improvised shelter. I just ran a ridge line between two trees and it was that easy. After sweating it up I realized I didn’t have to set up a ridge line, there are two tabs on the center line that can be attached to the trees. Very well thought out product. Thai one is a little bit too big for what I was looking for but the kids will use it over their hammocks for sure.

There's no way to tell how this will hold up over the years but it appears well"made. The tie out points are reinforced fairly well. I like that there are a number of tie out points in the sides and center points. The colors are darker than they appear in the photos here. The underside is silvery. Not Mylar. I've never seen this sort of fabric. I have not had it in the rain yet. I will post again with an update after some rain experience. Overall it's a good value when you look at what the more reputable brands like Kelty and so forth are pricing tarps at. It's not the lightest material out there, for sure, but it seems light enough for anything but ultralight backpacking. The stakes are simple aluminum but they are rugged... not thin little skewers. I was also surprised that the included guy lines are actually good quality. I was planning on throwing those away but they will suffice nicely. UPDATE: Very waterproof. Water beads up on top surface....no dampness below. Just wish that a 12 foot width was available. UPDATE AUG 2010:. Love these tarps have four now...one has been up since January 2022 in snow climate two have been up all summer. Will they last five years like this? Probably not. Will they last ten years if you go on a few trips a year? For sure. The 10x13 also has tie-out points on two sides. In other words, if you hang the tarp on the ridge, and look at it from above, there's a tie-out point on the left side of the ridge and on the right side. Seams are well-sealed and do not leak. For $40, it's a fantastic value. I replace the stakes with extruded aluminum ones.... stronger. But the guy lines they give you are really good. I do wish they had a 12x12 but that means using fabric that's 6' wide....and that's not as inexpensive as using 5' goods.

High quality, very happy so far (2trips)

Overall an amazing tarp, I almost didn’t pick this up before going on a canoe trip in Algonquin park. It rained hard the second night and it held up amazingly (thunderstorm). I had this over a Hubba Hubba 3 LT tent and it covered 95% of it and allowed us to create an overhang area for our chairs and food barrel while the storm raged on. It includes additional ropes for staking in the ground/trees plus stakes. The only major gripe I had was the middle section doesn’t have a place to feed the rope into - zoom in on the first picture and you can see. I debated taking an extra star off for that reason but it is such a nice tarp kit otherwise for a decent price.

Excelente toldo. Lo he usado muchísimas veces. De un lado es opaco, del otro tiene una capa aluminizada. Sombra 100%, muy fresco en el sol ardiente. Si hay mucha radiación solar, se puede poner del lado aluminizado hacia al sol y refresca mucho. Si hace frío, lo he puesto con el lado aluminizado hacia adentro, y al cerrarlo, es muy caliente ya que mantiene el calor dentro. No incluye las varillas, pero aquí mismo encontré unas desarmables muy prácticas. También recomiendo comprar unos amarres elásticos para que el viento no rompa la lona. Yo los uso para fijarla de un lado de la camioneta, así, cuando hay viento, los elásticos estiran y reducen la tensión sobre el toldo y evita que se rompa.
