Tarps have long been the stars of must-take packing lists
for camping trips. Savvy campers use them to line tent floors and cover the
tops of older, iffy tents. Some who like to lighten up their backpacks on
off-trail treks use tarps as their tents.
Camping families buy our colorful low-cost tarps at
TarpSurplus.com to cover picnic tables and create a roof above those tables to
protect against rain or too much sun. Start up the grill under a fire retardant
tarpaulin on rainy days. Spread one on the ground for outdoor game night.
You can create an outside dressing room with a strategically
placed tarp, or use one as a temporary privacy wall at a crowded campground. Line
your car trunk and back seats with small poly tarps for transporting messy camping
supplies and the family dog back home. Today’s tear-resistant tarps are available
in water-repellent or waterproof styles and even fire-resistant editions. But
should an enterprising 12-year-old discover a way we don’t know about to punch
a hole in a tarp, a piece of ordinary duct tape will fix it.
When a customer called TarpSurplus to ask which tarp would
be best to build an outdoor hammock for a camping expedition, we were momentarily
stumped. Then we found dozens of how-to tips on the Internet for building
hammocks from tarps and thought: genius.
