    Default Tarp suggestions

    I am looking for a tarp that I can use outside the entrance to my tentipi. I'm thinking a hexagonal shaped one would work best but haven't found anything quite right.

    Any suggestions?

    Jack Wolfskin do some slightly unusual shaped tarps, good quality. Have you seen them?

    Just one example:

    Gargoyle from Hammock forums makes an Ogee tarp, I think Shewie has it.

    The shape looks good for rigging to a Tipi with loads of flexibility.

    Thanks! All good ideas.

    The Wolfskin ones are the kind of shape I had in mind and look like a nice colour. The Green outdoors one looks great but a bit heavy weight and pricey. I like the look of the Vango ones too. The ogee ones look ingenious but I'm not sure how much ground coverage they would give.

    I've found one by MSR that looks perfect but it's £300!

    It's hard to know exactly how well they will work with our tent without actually trying them.
