I'm looking for a silnylon, square (9×9 to 10×10) tarp with multiple tie out points. I've been looking all over for one, but all I can seem to find is rectangular silnylon tarps. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I am looking for? Also, why does there seem to be an abundance of rectangular tarps and a shortage of square tarps?

People are taller than they are wide usually. Hence rectangles.
Why squares are not more popular is a mystery to me. So versatile.
Dec 4, 2014 at 6:19 am #2153980Wow, exactly what I was looking for, thanks! The versatility is why I'm going for a square tarp. I hear you can have so many more different configurations as opposed to rectangular.
Dec 4, 2014 at 6:33 am #2153982You're welcome. Dave makes a quality product. You won't be disappointed.
Dec 4, 2014 at 7:29 am #2153996I'm sure John at Bearpaw will make you any size you want. He seems to also have the most standard tieouts of anyone.
Dec 4, 2014 at 7:42 am #2153999Even though it cost a king's ransom, the HMG 8.5 X 8.5 is very light, durable and it comes with a whole bunch of BONDED tie-outs.
I know you said silnylon, but what the heck, the cuben would be about 7 oz lighter.

I have a 10 x 14 tarp form Dave that has been tortured for many years and it's still kicking.
It remains my favorite shelter by far and I have a Trailstar, a Duomid, a Lunar Duo, a Grace Solo…(my gear problem used to be coats). -
