Best bang for the buck tarp

[drliamski]

Hi all
Looking for a tarp recommendation. Got a wedding coming and I've said I'll provide a sunshade for them. Looking for something over 4 meters and polycotton if poss!

Any body know of one that's under £75?

All the best

A folding gazebo or event shelter may be more in keeping with the event?

I got a Tatonka 4.5X4.5 in a trade from this forum, absolutely brilliant bit of kit and fits all your requirements 'cept price - you'd have to go used or a sale.................atb mac

I've got one of these, not quite 4m but pretty close...great bit of kit............

Yeah but I don't particularly want one !

Been looking for a tatonka for a while now. For a second I thought you were offering to sell yours!
They just don't come up very often.

Is the shade going to be in the open or is the area wooded or can you have huge poles and lots of guy lines in the wedding?

 

[drliamski]

Not sure. Defiantly not wooded but will be things to tie onto! A thick orange guy per corner should be ok. Got some poles at 2m and some at 2. 4
Why do you ask?

I'd be happy to lend it to you if you can't find something, but it has a fairly noticeable smell of coalfire to it, probably not the best for a wedding, eh?

That's a fine offer but I would be worried about it and might be tempted to keep it!
I think a smell of woodsmoke would be more in keeping than a blue bit of plastic floating in the air!

This or the obelisk one looks pretty good value.
