Well made tarp, appreciate that it has pockets for the included guy lines. We use it for a sunshade because we do most of our camping in Florida. I have not yet used it in rainy weather, but the heavy condensation of the morning here dries pretty quickly. The 12 foot version easily covers a picnic table area and room to spare. Loads of tie downs and configuration options. I wish it came with the poles. It will work with any sort of tarp pole or hiking poles, but I held out and got the kelty poles, which are tall and sturdy. Wish they'd bundle the whole lot together!

Used it on beach trip to N Padre Island....with special sand stakes. Tried it with two poles and four. Lots of shade. Two poles worked best in the wind. Had a small one of these for 20 years on the coast. Good product.

bought this for taking backpacking with my hammock. Needed an oversized waterproof tarp for my hammock. This fit the bill. Problem is that it does not pack down small and is heavy. I still use it as i have not found a better solution and it has had no problems.

It is as described. This is not a lightweight back packing tarp. I bought it to spare my lightweight tarp when it fit, and because I always wanted one. I’ve set it up several times, as a shelter and over a hammock. If something happens to it, I’ll get another one. I liked the storage pockets for guy lines.

I was on the fence for this product and love it! Packs small and easy to attach to anything for a bit of extra shade. Even on a first try it worked great. Easier with multiple people to set up.

Great to keep the rain and sun off. We use it with our raft oars so no poles needed. Small and packable for raft trips.

I've owned a Noah's Tarp for ages, wore out my first one and needed a new one. This is an improvement over the original, I love the velcro-closed pockets in the corners for keeping the guy lines neat when folding it up!

This thing is big enough to cover a 4 man tent and provide shelter for a table & chairs to protect from rain / sun. It’s very light weight and packs down a lot smaller than an equivalent sized tarp. In some camp sites it’s too big so it takes a little more time to adjust, fold and set up. Maybe I’ll buy the smaller version to give me easy options in the future. I use it with two adjustable tent poles and they really help with creating the slope of the tarp which is essential to stop water pooling in heavy downpours. So far it’s holding up very well!

Good quality but we needed a square shape to set up for use in front of a fire.

The worst tarp I have ever owned. The tarp has stitching that runs diagonally which means that when you stretch the tarp it only can effectively be used when pitching as a triangle on each side. Said another way when you are trying to pitch this as a square. Like you would in 99% of cases you are left with sag that you can not get rid of because of how they have stitched the panels together. If I could request a refund I would.
