KALINCO Waterproof Camping Tarp Tent Hammock Rain Fly, 10X10FT/10X15FT, Mutifunctional Tent Footprint Lightweight Tarp for Camping, Hiking and Survival Shelter

This is a high quality tent, made of budget quality materials, not low quality mind you. For the price you are essentially purchasing a tarp that will outlast any of those woven polypro tarps you get from hardware stores, and this tarp costs roughly twice the price of those polypro tarps and is far more waterproof. I am a fabric snob, and build my own tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, and know this polyester tyfetta fabric is about $1 a yard, and can be found on alibaba. it is not ripstop but instead tyfetta which is the T in 210T is a twist added to the thread as it's woven, so do not puncture. The nice thing about polyester fabric is it lasts far longer against UV damage, although since this material is coated with PU or Polyurethane, it will eventually corrode from the PU coating as it eats away at the plastic. NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, but this is a good price to quality ratio.It has pvc reinforced fabric reinforcements on each of the tieouts. I use it to cover stuff in my truck, and sometimes setup as an overhang for work areas that otherwise would be in the rain. Heavy as heck, and even more heavy when wet.I would not use this tarp to hold compost like I do with woven polypro tarps, but I would use it to cover a woven tarp full of compost from the rain.

This was a fantastic tarp. Went camping at the Delaware seashore campgrounds and used this while I was there. I have to say I was most impressed with how this tarp held up in the strong winds and the tie down tags held quite nicely with no rips or damage to the seams or the tarp itself. To give an idea on how well it held up, the wind was so strong that I had to use multiple guy lines on the tarp as well as the tent to prevent them from blowing away and to keep the tent upright and not flat on the ground.

If you want to get started tarp camping, this is a great one to try. It weighs 869g.The stakes are 15g each and the guy lines are 16g each. I've switched to one half the weight and 3 times the price, but only after using this one long enough to know I love the style. 10x10 is a great size. It gives you many configuration options including a roomy setup for severe storms. I've used it in all kinds of weather. It's tough, the stakes are pretty descent for rocky soil, and there are enough guy lines. I would personally take 2 more stakes. 8 gives you more options than 6. It is on the heavy side for tarp camping but is lighter than most tents and hammocks. I use a tyvek ground cloth with it. Since I backpack with a dog, I don't have to worry about a floor this way. We also don't get flooded by water building up in a bathtub floor tent in bad storms. When we get back, I spend a couple days flipping over to get it dry, but my gear is all dry except minor condensation.

Slightly heavier than other brands, but very tough. It held up great in a hailstorm with heavy winds. Looking forward to using it as a tarptent for one - maybe winter camping.

I was intrigued by this tarp, mainly due to it having 19 guy loops. I haven't seen this too often on these inexpensive tarps. My other tarp is an Aquaquest 7x10. I like that tarp a lot, but some of my favorite configurations require a square tarp. I bought a 10x10, coffee-colored.On my digital scale, this tarp in its bag weighs 1.8 lbs. That's pretty light. I don't understand the reviews mentioning that it's on the heavy side, but whatever. My Aquaquest weighs the same.Construction looks good. Re-enforced corners and guy loops, double-stitching, etc. I did notice a missed stitch or two on each guy loop re-enforcement. The holes are there, but there's no stitching. To me, this is no big deal. It's a $28 tarp. I can easily run a stitch or two myself to remedy that issue, but I don't see this "defect" as having much effect on durability of the tarp.The center seam is taped and appears to have been well-applied. The double-stitch is covered the entire length of the tarp.The bag is nice...plenty of room for the tarp, stakes and lines. The lines are junk. I use paracord or bankline. The supplied lines would be ok for a clothesline in camp, learning knots or some other non-essential use. The aluminum stakes are nothing special, but should be functional in soft ground. I don't use them.The PU coating is rated at 3000mm. If true, this tarp should stand up to any rain that nature can throw at it.I took this tarp out camping last week and pitched it in a plow-point configuration in a steady, moderate to heavy rain. My dog and I stayed dry inside while watching the rain run down and off the tarp. No leaking at the center seam noted.To wrap-up...time will tell how well this tarp holds up. For the price, I don't think you could go wrong, especially if you're new to tarp camping and want to check it out. With 19 guy loops, you'll have many configurations to experiment with.

Nice lightweight and handy. Easy to setup if you in the right spot with good coverage and trees. Super durable and able to stretch it out with a tight ridgeline and well anchored corners. It has been 100% water proof and reliable. Would not recommend as ground tarp though.

This tarp is excellent quality. it functions exactly for what it is. Not sure if it leaks because we haven’t had any rain to test on. But it does protect if you put it over your campsite, it keeps the sun out and protects you and the coverage is of the size that I bought so it covers well. Very durable.

I've used a variety of pu-coated synthetic fabrics in my decades of camping. This tarp promises to be a good choice and value, with good durability. To be clear, it is coated on only one side (it is not silnylon, so if that is a quality/performance requirement for you, then keep looking). But at this price point, I could not find anything better. I will be using it as an awning on my diy camper, and I anticipate this tarp will perform well, giving my lots of solid attachment points and versatility.
