What differentiates this from a tarp? Is the the weight of the tarp? Material? Is there a stuff sack?

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 $$$

This is a tarp, but it has additional tie straps on the surface which permits it to be pitched in a variety of configurations. It does have more of a carry bag than a stuff sack. I believe it is nylon. It is reasonably light weight, water proof and strong.

Nylon, flannel would make it really heavy. I had a Coleman w/flannel when I was a kid and it's only suitable for car camping. This bag is already really heavy as it is.

This tarp is much heavier & tear resistant. I've used it multiple times under a family size tent for protection from the ground. There has been a small amount of unraveling of threads o/w it's as good as new. It'll outlast the use you listed for purposes you haven't realized you'll need it for in the future.

its not plastic but its not burlap either, its some sort of synthetc canvas, very strong but not tear proof, I tore mine trying to flow water off of it after a rain storm, but it was very heavy and I was applying a ton of force on it. Good tarp for storage not so great for towing...

A heavy duty canvas type material, took ours camping for 3 weeks & no problems. Shows no wear or tear!!

It is a tightly woven solid material. Black on the underside green on top. The water accumulates on top and doesn't run through. It is like an outside tarp.

Is a light canvas material, it does notExpand, so if you tide the tent with at Least 3 bungee cords it makes it easierTo get the tent in the bag. Happy camping :)

Yeah basically. It's a mesh tarp that blocks the wind and the sun a little. I live in a very windy area and it works well but it's a tarp about 30 ft Long and 5 ft high and it's secured with zip ties. Its does not have the top cover which I think is misleading. I bought a tarp made of the same material for the top and it works well for wind, sun, and rain. Cheaper at Lowe's since its just a tarp

As I recall, yes. Also, this is a somewhat weighty tarp. Too heavy for backpacking, but just right for car camping/tent camping. I use it more as a ground cloth to protect my tent than as a rain fly, although it would server the latter purpose quite well.

Mine came with a regular drawstring sack. It is small though at about the size of a football.

It is a plastic tarp-type material.... not super thick, but reasonably heavy.

It is stiffer than cloth , like a sheet of plastic , but not as loud as the cheap Mylar emergency blankets . It is more of a tarp than a " blanket" . Still an excellent product . A bit small as a shelter . Buy two , sew them togeather . Everyone does . Windproof , waterproof , light and warm , but yes a little noisy .

It comes with a sack made from the same material that you can add something with weight(we used rocks). It worked perfectly.

It comes with a small stuff sack but you wouldn't want keep it in that. I hang mine but you could store it in a pillow case. Hope that helps. Great bag for the price.

Since i am familiar with thermorest backpacking type mats, I find the wrapped up and bagged size of this to be pretty big. That said it is a very reasonable size if you are car camping or just going place to place. It comes with a bag to carry it in which is about the size of a small sleeping bag holder/bag. I really like it, I have a bad back so I wanted something 'fluffier' and it made the difference. I have only used it a couple of times but have had no issues and it appears well made a sturdy for the job it's intended to do. Hope this helps

It is more like a nylon. It is not the heavy canvas like the old ones were. I actually like the nylon better. It is pretty heavy duty, and makes the pack lighter.

More like a tarp. Not mesh. This is the second one I purchased. First one lasted through 3 winters.
