We designed this to work as a kitchen fly that you wouldn’t likely burn holes through (unlike the flimsy nylon kind), and to be durable enough to survive use as a ground cloth. A little craftyness on your part will turn it into a serviceable sleeping shelter. Given a little creativity, and knowledge of a few knots, you can coax this tarp into handling any weather. Give it a try! This 12' x 12' tarp is made of 7-ounce waterproof natural canvas. We put in lots of attachment points so you could make variety of configurations. Fire retardant treatment minimizes burn holes. It’s an effective, lightweight shelter. Color: White. Weight: 8 lbs
