My wifes just rang me at work to say she got me what they call a "shade sail" at lidl its a tarp with 2 poles for £20, like the vango ones.
Spec is

height 200cm
Size is 350cm x 430 cm
2000mm hydrostatic head
Weight all In with poles, pegs, bag and guys 2kg so loose the poles its probably 1kg for the tarp at most

Will be having a play when I finnish work but im just chuffed she bought it for me on her own even though she twists I have to many tents/tarps etc :)

I will probably use it for extra space when family camping or using the pop up tent but we will see

I went and got one this morning, we've pulled it out and it looks like it's good value, I've not strung it up yet so don't know how it is in use but will do very soon. Pegs are rubbish, although they'll probably hold ok if you get them in without bending them, they're quite wide and an angles profile so they'll hold in loose ground better than thin ones, guys are ok and the poles are poles, most of the 2kg weight is in the poles and pegs, the tarp itself packs down quite well and isn't a bad weight.

Had one a couple of years ago, great value for money. They are selling vacuum sealers just now for £19.99 too, well worth a punt.

I picked one up early this morning after seeing it on their website. Looks like great value for money for a group shelter or 'tarpology' experiment :)

I brought it home, and then immediately chucked it on the table, cos while I was at work my OzTent arrived, which is a much bigger and shinier toy!

Grabbed the last one from a Sheffield store today.....put it up.....mostly impressed for the money.....as good as a DD in some ways.....

Sadly mine has several small holes in a cluster....and some distortion in the surrounding material.....arrrrgh. going back tomorrow.
