What Size Tarp For Camping - China

What Size Tarp for Camping?

If a camping tarp is too small or too big, it can spoil the whole trip.

So, let's ask the obvious question - what size camping tarp would you buy? For a tarp to cover a tent, it is approximately 2 feet longer and wider than the base of the tent.

Under the tent floor, it is approximately the same size as the tent base.

For a hammock shelter, the tarp will be 2 feet longer on the diagonal than the ridge line.

For a tarp shelter, dimensions will vary.

At this point, you need to know the difference between the cut size and the finished/actual size of a camping tarp.

The cut size is the size of the material used in the tarp.

It is measured before any seams or folds appear.

The finished size, on the other hand, is the size of the tarp after the seams/rolled edges have been completed.

So, this is the size of the tarp you will be using in practice.

According to most tarp sizing calculators, the finished size of a tarp is 4-6% smaller than the cut size, which results in an average reduction of 6-8 inches per side.

Tarpaulin size calculation 1: Use above/below the tent

The most popular use of a camping tarp is with a tent.

It can be used above or below the tent, or even both.

You may want a pair of giant tarpaulins that "fit all".

But if the weather turns bad, this could backfire.

Not to mention the huge maintenance and set-up hassle they entail.

Make sure that whatever size you choose, you have plenty of room for your blanket and sleeping bag.

In any case, read on to find out the 'best' tarp sizes for 'above' and 'below' camping tents.

What size tarp is suitable for use above the tent?

We get it - everyone will feel safer with a larger tarp on top of their camping tent.

It also provides more space for you to hang out with your camping buddies and possibly some storage space for your camping gear.

But it's not as simple as it seems.

If the tarp is larger than required, you may have to deal with the following problems.
