Cheap tarp?

[James_m246]

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a tarp but am very tight on cash, any recommendations for a cheap tarp?

4 quid from B&Q - maybe blue though.

 

[James_m246]

well I think I can stretch to a bit more than 4 quid lol, also I would prefer a green one which isn't really heavy.

Well that was looking good but the sizes he does jumps from 6' x 8' which is too small to 18' x 23' which is to big.
I'll have another look on ebay, am I being to picky here?

 

[James_m246]

Well i've got my eye on this one which prividing it doesn't go up much is a bargain.
I'm still open to suggestions though.

I'm looking at getting my first Tarp... i'm 6' 2" and after following your link to www.tarpaflex.co.uk i found the 2.4m x 3m (aprox. 7.8ft x 9.8ft)

Is this a good size?

Looks like about £7 on here... but think they charge £6 for postage!

 

[James_m246]

Well i'm 5'11" and thats the sort of size i'm looking for and the 6 quid postage is why I didn't get one from there.

 

[woodmunky]

seems like eBay has quite a few variations (most of which are the tarpaflex ones) and a LOT cheaper

For example:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-x-9-Foot-Gr...296QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280038127281

It's plain, but most likely does the job?

Allthough i'm partial to the camo style one... fingers crossed they'll put the 2.4m x 3m on eBay, if not i might just have to bear the p&p and get one... grrr.

EDIT: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAMOUFLAGE-TA...hZ004QQcategoryZ52509QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem - £9.99 delivered.
