Life is better in a hammock, but let's face it - sometimes the weather just doesn't cooperate. When the wind and rain does come in, you'll be happy you've got Trek Light Gear's exclusive V9 Strong Tarp. Packable and portable, the V9 Tarp weighs in at only 2 lbs and packs down into its own attached pouch so you'll never lose it.
The V9 Strong Tarp is designed with durability and strength at the forefront and trust us, when the wind starts whipping and the rain starts pouring you'll know why. Unlike many 'ultralight' tarps on the market you don't need to worry about a strong wind literally blowing right through your tarp - the V9 is all you need to keep the wind and rain at bay.
Product Details
Weight: 2 lbs
Dimensions: 9'x9'
Tie-Outs: 3 on each edge, 12 total
Included: Each V9 tarp comes a thick ridgeline cord as well as plenty of tie-out line for securing the edges of your tarp.
The V9 Tarp is made with polyester treated ripstop nylon and is extremely versatile - there are 3 grommet tie-out point on each edge and it comes with enough cord to tie it out or stake it out in any situation (stakes are not included with the tarp). It even has a reflective underside to help you keep the sun out or the heat in on a cold night.
Setting Up Your V9 Tarp: Setting up your V9 Strong Tarp is really no different than using any other tarp. You can use the included ridgeline cord in one of two ways: tie it from tree to tree over the hammock and drape the tarp over the line (more adjustable) or you can just use the grommets to tie the opposite ends of the tarp to each tree separately (more secure). Then you can use any of the remaining tie-out points to secure your tarp either to surrounding trees or straight to the ground. Depending on the weather you may want to tie one side of the tarp up high as an awning or you may want to stake it down to the ground if you're dealing with blowing rain.
The versatility of the V9 Tarp means you can set it up quickly and easily for whatever weather situation is at hand!
