Kodiak Canvas Tarp

Hydra-Shield canvas is designed to be breathable while remaining waterproof, which helps prevent the condensation buildup often found in synthetic tarps. While it is highly water-resistant, it is important to let the canvas dry completely before packing it away to prevent mildew.

While the setup is straightforward, the 16.75 lb weight and the 15 ft x 13 ft footprint make it much easier to manage with two people. One person can certainly do it, but having a second set of hands helps significantly when positioning the poles and tensioning the tie-points.

At 16.75 lbs, this tarp is not designed for backpacking or long-distance hiking. It is best suited for car camping or basecamp setups where you can transport it directly from your vehicle to the campsite.

Yes, the 156 square feet of floor area is more than enough to comfortably cover a standard-sized picnic table. The hexagon shape offers excellent shade and rain protection while allowing for better airflow than a traditional square tarp.

The two included 7.5 ft galvanized steel poles are fixed in length. If you need to adjust the height or pitch of the tarp, you will need to rely on adjusting the tension of your guy lines at the reinforced tie-points.

The tarp features six reinforced tie-points that provide excellent stability when properly staked out. Because it is made of heavy-duty canvas, it is less prone to flapping and noise than lighter synthetic tarps, but you should always ensure your guy lines are taut and secure in high winds.
