Anyone know of any good Tarps?

[chassybold]

Hi, been looking for a good quality tarp for a while now, but its also has to be a reasonable price, £30 or below... otherwise I would get this one: http://tentsmiths.com/tent-camp-accessories/oilskin-tarps.html
I realise all oilskin tarps are going to be a hell of a price, so leave those out?
Any help would be much appreciated!

DD Tarp 3x3 is good.

DD Tarp 3x3 is good.

I have one of these, they are very good.

 

[ozzy1977]

I have the 4x4, just as good as the 3x3 but much bigger

I have the DD XL and 3x3 - was very impressed with the XL in North Wales. Tenth wonder tarps are also good.

Hi there's lots of tarps for under £30 if you look around I carnt remember what make mine is but was under £30 and has lasted a few years sometimes ex army tarps come up for sale cheap eg desert pattern or flectarn if you like that sort of thing but the first to remember is that its just a sheet of waterproof material so don't get fooled by sales banter . happy shopping

Just this minute looked on eBay I put in bushcraft tarp and a new desert pattern tarp came up in the search for £25 inc post

These are pretty cheap http://www.nicks-kit.co.uk/dpm-basha-129-p.asp not to sure on delivery charges though.

Aye army bashas go for about that but they are not the biggest tarp. Dd 3x3 would be the smallest id consider. Good luck with the hunt

I wish I'd never seen that link in the original post I'm sat here thinking about stuff I can sell to buy more now

Been looking into this myself the last week. The DD tarp is what i have been told from many sources on here and other places is the best value for money. Buying one myself next month. Can't recommend it personally yet as I don't have it but I have put the hours in researching it so thought I would share my conclusions. Like i say I'm not vouching for the tarp but many others do. I am going to buy this one http://www.ddhammocks.com/product/ddtarp_olive_green_3x3 the 3x3 in olive green.

I'm waiting on a British Army bivi bag from him...As suggested above a good price but a bit of a saga getting it (posted today hopefully).


Consider the DD tarp M, I've tried it twice in poor weather and it's slight extra length really covers the hammock nicely. Size wise it's 3.5m x 2.4m and I can't see me going back to my 3m x 3m DD tarp any time soon.

I just bought a Terra Nova Adventure Tarp. Size is 248 x 290 cm. I paid 45 EUR and can't wait to try it. It might be a little bit too small for a hammock, but I don't have a hammock, and after some research I decided that this size should be perfect for a single person even in bad weather.

Lay to the party I know but I've got the DD 3x3 as well as an Ex Army basha as an admin shelter.

The DD was the business in Galloway with what can only be described as fookin strong winds! Lol

I've been looking at the hex fly for my HH, which is the larger upgrade tarp to the one that comes with all the henneseys. On ebay at £50, but maybe a bit pricey compared to others.
