Is the tarp sturdy enough to be slept on over rough grounds? Sleeping underneath the stars?

It is sturdy like a windbreaker fabric - possibly a bit heavier - what is nice is it is not bulky and crinkly like the cheap poly tarps - You need to use a sleeping pad between you in the ground. We purchased KYMAC sleeping pads - the size of a grapefruit when in it's pouch. Blows up in about 20 puffs of air - INSULATES and Stayed inflated ALL NIGHT - amazing. Use the tarp and that pad and you will sleep like a baby.

I wouldn't hesitate to sleep on it. However I would first do my best to make sure there is nothing under it sharp enough to penetrate thru the tarp, just as you would a tent. But in all honesty I believe it wasn't designed to be slept on, but to be slept under.

I think so I think that it is pretty sturdy so I am guessing that there would be sand either under or on top of the tarp ?? Good idea hmmm now I made need a pool too

A $2 paint tarp will probably work better as far as being sturdy, guess it's up to you as to what you want it took like when not in use. The cover seems sturdy but it is thin and I was/am concerned it could tear easily. So far, so good, we've had it a few weeks. Hard rain will get through it though.

While I'm not looking to weight it till it bends, it's surprisingly robust. I have a sleeping bag on mine. I'd say it could handle any cloth based material. The metal is pretty thick. It's at least 2-3x stronger than I expected. Very impressed.

I am sure it would. It is not your everyday tarp and well made. I use mine for under my tent when camping and have not had any rock or stick punctures. Very happy with it.

Just to remind you, this is a winter tent. I would wake up sweating my ass off at any temperature over 40 degrees F. Maybe it's just because I'm from Minnesota, but you wouldn't be using this unless it's at least cold enough to have snow underneath it. It does appear to be thick enough to withstand small branches or rocks, but I've always used a footprint underneath it unless there is adequate snow. I used a piece of painter's plastic (thick 6mil I think) for a footprint until I sewed one together from ripstop nylon.

We used it in Afghanistan and it held up to those elements, but really its just hot and dry there. But I must say it seems pretty sturdy. But yes, I would make sure it was in a covered area that is protected as much as possible!

I have had this pack for a while it's pretty tough. I use it for camping, mtb, and anything. So far not a single rip or tare. If this bag ever fails I will buy another the next day.

I have not tried outside yet, but based on my use so far, it is pretty sturdy and should be ok. Sandbags would be highly recommended as this thing is pretty light.

These are really heavy duty tarps. I'd expect them to handle just about anything within reason, including high heat and humidity.

Hi there. The fabric is very resistant not fragile at all, I've ended up in rocks and scrapped it a few times and so far no tears or holes.

Rain...No problem. We are going to double up the tarp before winter comes for helping w/ thickness.Moving it for ONE person...NO....impossible. (Unless the surface is paved, flat...well, I would still say NO)The structure is VERY sturdy. Even if you are a weightlifter, still no. LOL

Don't think you'd want to leave it outside since it's not meant for that. As far as safe landings, I think it would be soft enough, however remember it's only 5ft x 5ft so would need to be placed right underneath your rings and kids could easily roll off of it. It's a vinyl bag filled with cubes of foam.

Hi Larry, I guess you would consider them solid, as it is the non-rip material like tarps are made of. This is a very good canopy, I have bought several over the last 5 years and this is a very good quality and price. Good Luck ! Oh just so you know, I leave mine up year round as an outdoor room off my patio with furniture underneath and it lasts for a couple of years threw wind, rain and snow storms. I will definately buy another one when this one needs to be repalaced...

It will need something to hold it down. Just know you are buying a thin tarp that is basically useless

I wouldn't call it a floor. You would require a Heavy Duty tarp underneath tent for best protection.
