I just got a 12/12 and I also have a 12-18 I think. I have set it up a few times I think the 12-12 will be really good

I just bought a tarp that was too big for the tent and then cut it to size. I taped off the cut edges so it wouldn't unravel. Best to have one that fits exactly underneath the tent. I wish I had a thinner one that would fit inside the tent bag, but the tarp doesn't take that much extra room. I didn't cut it to fit underneath the vestibule, but now I wish I had, but it isn't a big deal.

Not sure of the size but I have used these pole on a number or different tarps and have never had a problem

Hey an ordinary tarp is heavy canvas (great for covering a pile of firewood or a lawn mower) The Noah's tarp is light weight 2# for the 12' X12'it has lots of tie out points and does come with a storage bag. I love mine as it can be set up as many ways as you can think of. Material is nylon. If you are a backpacker there are lighter tarps out there, but way more $$$

I just bought a 8' by 10' tarp for less than $10.00 and cut it down to 7 1/2' by 8 1/2' which is slightly smaller than the floor dimensions and it works well.

It is made with tent like poles , I was thinking of doing the same thing on mine to make it last longer in the weather conditions and sun . It should work if the tarp is not too heavy and if you secure it well.

Wilma SORRY I DID NOT GET BACK TO YOU SOONER. This tarp did not seem to stretch. I did perform properly for 2 1/2 months then it started to com apart very fast. TO ME IT WAS A WAST OF MONEY. I EXPECTED IT TO LAST AT LEAST 1 YEAR. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR HUNT. I plan on making my own.

I have no idea... standard size I assume... just like any other tarp. Sorry and I hope this helps.

The kennel cover should cover any 10 X 10 kennel , one thing that I found last year I bought one and it only lasted less than a year, the sun is very hard on it and the cold of winter, I would recommend you getting something like a real tarp that you can get a substance that you can spray on it and keep the oil in the fabric and keep it pliable, that is what I will do next, hope this helped.

When I bought this tarp, I read the same 'Product Dimensions' and took a guess that that dimensions were wrong. I purchased the tarp anyway and it certainly was NOT 17' x 13' x 6.3"! The tarp is basically 6" shorter than 12' x 25' in both directions but I never measured it. Covered my 21' x 8' trailer nicely with a couple of feet hanging over both sides. Hope this helps.

I second what Chief says 100%. I put 2 coats of silicone on mine, 2 coats of seam sealer and I'm looking for a tarp. Nice tent but they didn't finish the job.

I bought a 10 x 16 foot camo tarp to put under my Montana 8. Worked out great.

Dear Jamie,Good day. Cherry here.Many thanks for your interests in our product. Actually it's better to set this tent on the grass ground. By the way, in order to make it stronger,you may need to use some sand bags or weights when bad weather. Hope you can understand.If anything else needs our help then,just contact us freely.Nice dayCherry

I guess that would depend on your need. I start by saying that because usually you can deal with the extra length,but most of the time tarps are somewhat shorter than the stated dimensions by the time they fold and stitch the edges. So if you need the tarp to completely cover your frame with no gaps, you made need to go bigger. Hope this helps.

I agree with the other responders. The poles are worthless. My tarp ripped at the seems. The zipper doorway separated from the tarp within a day. I live in the Great Lakes region. My tarp was destroyed by the Spring weather here. I see that others had better luck with the tarp "house". If you try to build it out to 8 ft., you would definitely need another frame. The poles will not tolerate the extra weight from the excess tarp. If there is any rain, the frame would surely collapse.

Sure, it could be an adequate ground tarp. It can do anything a cheaper tarp can do. But it seems a little pricey to drag through the mud.When I need a ground cloth under a tent, I prefer to buy the kind of plastic sheeting you'd use as a drop cloth (when painting and remodelling), then cut it to size (slightly smaller than the footprint of the tent). That works perfectly, and costs only a few bucks.

Hi Max,All Aqua Quest tarps have heat-taped seams, so you don't have to worry about it. As far as reinforcing the already taped seams, I can definitely find out for you.CheersBen - Gear Out Here

I have to place my shelters in a very wooded area. I have a camoflauge and a dark green tarp over them and it is staked down with bricks (bought at home depot). With wind/snow/rain etc. the tarp has stayed on. I have two cats who will use it while the third feral will not but I'm happy at least someone is using it! I have the bottom lined with mylar and then it is filled with straw and they burrow in to the straw. I tried to put the awning on and it keeps falling off. I'll have to do that when the weather is warmer again but I have the entrance covered with the tarp so they have to go under the tarp to get in. We've had below zero temps this month in WI and I'm glad they have some type of shelter. I have to place my shelters in a very wooded area.
