    Dimensions for this tarp on packaging shows 285×285
    cm for anyone wondering

    Great for an emergency shelter on a day hike. I'd use hiking poles and take a ridge line to use with trees, no poles needed that way and less chance of the wind affecting it. Great starter tarp at that price.

    I've just been looking at my DD tarp drying. It's not regular seam tape it's chemically bonded/welded to the tarp highly flexable. Get a DD or branded tarp

    👍👍👍
    £20.00 .. if it does the job, then why not?
    Each to their own .. but me?
    I would ditch those poles and just use my Hiking Poles. With my knees 🙄, they accompany me anyway and their adjustability gives me more setup options.
    The supplied straps could be used as part of a Ridge Line or replaced altogether by Cordage.
    Setup, the way you are doing it with fixed pole lengths.
    * Sort out an 'ideal' configuration in your garden.
    * Mark a Strap on each end of the Tarp with some tape / whatever, indicate the optimum distance between the pegs at each open end.
    * The rest is then easy-peas with minimal peg adjustment needed.
    I have learned by experience 'how far' my tent pegs should be apart, but even then, I plant one of my hiking poles upright with tarp. Reach over and set both pegs. Keep tension on the upright Pole Guy Line and set it's Tent Peg. Keep tension on the tarp while going to the other end to repeat. Pole height and Peg adjustments are minimal thereafter.
    A proper 'road test' would be nice, please.
    Thanks for sharing .. take care .l

      @@WildJam. Excellent!! I didn't mean to type 'donate' I meant 'do a video ' but you worked it out. Yeah me and some friends take small 2 man tents and it would be great to have a central area to sit together on our chairs if it rains, that's why I'd like to see it's largest configuration before I buy one. I would also pack the poles separately on the outside of my rucksack in the side pocket where I keep my tent poles.
