Many people may think that using a tarp tent is unnecessary, but it would be a big mistake to overlook the fantastic benefits it offers. So what exactly is a tarp tent? What are the advantages of using this accessory?
1. Introduction to Tent Camping
A tarp tent, also known as a tarpaulin tent, is simply a sheet of tarpaulin stretched out and erected with poles, stakes, etc., typically used to provide shade or shelter from rain as illustrated below.
Often considered a vital camping accessory, many overlook its importance, thinking it unnecessary or substitutable with regular fabric. However, specialized camping tarps are not produced without reason. The value of a tarp lies in its waterproof, sunproof, and especially UV-resistant materials (harmful factors affecting health). Moreover, these tarps are designed with specialized thickness to provide excellent coverage and sturdy reinforcement against wind. Typically, camping tarps do not come with tents; they are an additional choice for customers.
2. Incredible Uses of Camping Tarps
1. Expand the main tent usage space
In this application, the tarp acts as a sheltering canopy. You can imagine stepping out from your tent and sitting under the shade, enjoying the breathtaking natural scenery, relaxing while inhaling the earthy aroma without worrying about sunburn. Or in the event of sudden rain, you need not fret as the tarp partially blocks rainwater from entering the tent or reduces cold winds as night falls.
1. Setting up the auxiliary tent
Now, erecting the Tarp into a simple A-frame tent (as illustrated below). You can set up a table underneath and enjoy a meal, tea party, or utilize it as storage space for your belongings. Temporarily forsaking the discretion of traditional camping tent walls, the Tarp will provide you with a more comfortable, airy experience, blending seamlessly with the great outdoors. As mentioned, its essence lies in providing shelter, so you can rest assured when using this item. In fact, many customers have provided feedback that they prefer using the 'Tarp tent' over traditional camping tents.
2. Cooling down in the summer heat
During scorching summers, discomfort often diminishes the joy of a trip. We propose using a Tarp to shield the main tent. Erect the Tarp slightly higher, about 20 - 40 centimeters from the tent roof; it will now serve as the primary heat absorber, effectively reducing the heat transferred to the main tent area.
4. Ideal for multi-day road trips
For those who embark on extended journeys in their own car, exploring new destinations and only stopping briefly at suitable rest stops, Tarp is a perfect companion. These adventurers often seek convenient tools to facilitate quick rest stops. We recommend they bring along the Tarp as a shelter along with sleeping bags, packed meals, etc. Imagine pulling over at a scenic spot, setting up the tarp, enjoying a meal, and briefly immersing oneself in nature's beauty—it may be brief, but it's incredibly precious.
5. Versatile for other outdoor activities
Apart from camping, the Tarp is also favored for various outdoor activities. For instance, it can be used to set up a resting space for everyone after a thrilling session of SUP or intense kayaking. Or during a day trekking/hiking, the group can pause to set up the Tarp for shelter and relaxation. The Tarp itself is spacious enough to accommodate anywhere from 5 to 10 people (even more), depending on the type.
