Kodiak Canvas 1786 Ground Tarp

This tarp is specifically tailored to fit the dimensions of the Kodiak Canvas 8.5x6 foot tent (Model 6086). While it may physically fit under other tents of similar size, the corner staking loops are designed to align perfectly with the Kodiak model, so you may not be able to secure it properly with other brands.

While the primary purpose of this tarp is to protect your tent floor from abrasion and moisture seepage, it also acts as a vapor barrier. By preventing ground moisture from rising, it can help reduce the overall humidity levels inside your shelter.

The tarp features reinforced grommets at each corner. You can stake these down independently before setting up your tent, which keeps the tarp taut and prevents it from shifting while you are pitching your shelter.

Yes, it is constructed from 10 mil polyethylene with reinforced mesh. This heavy-duty material is specifically designed to withstand sharp rocks, sticks, and abrasive ground surfaces that would otherwise damage your tent's floor.

No, you should avoid folding the edges under the tent. If the tarp extends beyond the tent's perimeter, it can catch rainwater and channel it directly underneath your floor, which defeats the purpose of using a footprint.
