Advantages of Bonded Waterproof Camping Tarps
- No seam seal needed – This includes the ridgeline and Side Panel Pullouts.
- Doesn’t leak – This tarp can’t leak, making it the ultimate waterproof backpacking tarp!
- Bonded reinforced ridgeline doesn’t perforate the fabric – Stitch free construction! Because the reinforcement is bonded there is no perforation where stitches can pull. This makes the tarp stronger, more waterproof, and longer lasting than other hammock camping tarps.
- Repairable – Send your tarp back to us if needing repair.
- Side Panel Pullouts can be applied after the tarp is made – Side Panel Pullouts can be easily installed postproduction and placed anywhere on the tarp.
- Dries quicker – A bonded seam does not hold any moisture, so it dries faster than a grosgrain ridgeline.

Does this tarp work with Tato Tarp Connectors? I can’t get the Tatos to fit in the ridgeline tie out D rings.

Customer Service –
Yes they do work with the D-rings on this tarp. The end of the Tarp Connectors that is in the T shape, you can fold the T back to slide it through the D-ring and then straighten out it out again once it’s through which will hold it in place so it doesn’t slip through unexpectedly. Feel free to call us if you need further help.

I bought the Bonded Wide Xenon Winter Tarp with side pullouts & external pole mods. I have been teaching myself how to pitch it with a hammock in the woods about a mile’s walk away from home. I haven’t used it for an overnight trip yet, but so far I’m very impressed.
For the past two days, we’ve had a red flag warning for wildfires here in the San Francisco Bay Area because of dry conditions and 25-35 mph winds with gusts up to 50 mph. The wind was howling so loud the night before last that it woke me up! I worried about the tarp, but decided against getting out of bed & hiking in the dark to check on it. Shortly after sunrise, I hiked to the spot. The tarp was fine! Granted, it wasn’t the wildest storm, but my visions of a torn & tangled tarp didn’t come true, so I was very happy. In fact, the pitch was still taut thanks to the shock cord that I got with the guylines with spliced ringworm. It was my first time using this hardware. Brilliant!
The one thing I’m having problems with is the doors. I bought ringworm door anchors with Zing-it guylines & shock cord loops. I have three questions about setting up the doors.
First, I think the shock cord loops were a mistake because they create a gap between the bottom corners of the doors. There is no gap if I attach the door anchors directly to the D-rings. Why would I want the shock cord?
Second, it seems like the order in which you secure the tarp tie-outs matters. At first, I secured the tie-outs in the following order: 1) ridgeline tie-outs (using Dutch’s continuous ridgeline with soft shackles), 2) side tie-outs (with zing-it, shock cord loops & spliced ringworms), and 3) door tie-outs (with shock cord loops & ringworm door anchors). But doing it this way, the door flaps were too far apart. It was only after I released the tension on the side tie-outs, that I was able to position the stakes & guylines for the doors correctly. I got the doors right first, and only then could I properly tension the side guylines. Am I correct in thinking that the you have to position the doors first before you do the side tie-outs?
Third, there is still a big gap even when the doors are positioned correctly and the corners are secured shut. Is there any reason why I can’t or shouldn’t fix this by purchasing Dutch’s KAM snaps and and installing them on the doors? I would also need to purchase the KAM snap pliers to install them. I’m thinking 2-4 snaps per door. I’m actually surprised that snaps aren’t an option that you can choose when ordering the tarp in the first place. Has anyone done this? How many snaps did you use? The extra weight seems negligible.
I would be very grateful for any advice about the doors from DutchWare or other users.

This is a follow up to my previous question. It’s super helpful to know that when looking at the internal & external pole mods, “You can use both, but choosing one or the other is probably a better option.”
My question is this: Which choice is more versatile, the internal or external mod poles? Is one more popular with your customers?
Thanks for your help!

Alex Thomas –
This comes down to personal preference. I believe the external pole mods are a bit more popular just because they are lighter weight and easier to carry.

Hi. When ordering pole mods, what’s the difference between single & double? Also, please clarify the difference between internal & external pole mods. Can you get both, or do you choose one or the other? Thanks!
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Alex Thomas –
A single comes with 1 pole and a double comes with 2 poles. Internal pole mods are long poles that go on the inside of the tarp and external pole mods are shorter poles that are used on the outside of the tarp. The external poles run from a side panel pull out, over the ridgeline to the other side panel pull out. You can use both, but choosing one of the other is probably a better option.

This thing coupled with the double internal pole mod is like a freaking palace in the woods. If you order the tarp do yourself a favor and go ahead and get the internal pole mod you will not regret it.

If I order the internal pole mods, do I order the poles separately? Or are they included when adding to tarp? If not, what length poles do you suggest? Thanks!

When you select the internal pole mod option, it will come with the poles and everything needed.

I luv this tarp. I know it’s advertised as a winter tarp but I use it for all seasons. It’s a large tarp and when I utilize my 2 pole mods, the inside dimensions are very spacious allowing me plenty of headroom (5’6”). I can choose to close the doors for privacy or protection from the weather or open them up for better views or for increased air circulation. In nice weather, I typically have one side of this tarp set in porch mode. I no longer have worry about sealing the seams. For the overall size of this tarp, it packs down easily into its own little stuff sack and is surprisingly lightweight. I get lots of compliments on this tarp, just wish it displayed the cool Dutchware logo on it somewhere. Proud that it’s made in the U.S. Thanks Dutch!

I want to put two chameleons under this using a spreader bar. Should I go with an 11 foot or a 12 foot?

Hey Tim, I would go with a 12-foot so you have plenty of room to close your doors on either end! Thanks for inquiring.

I recommend the WIDE version if you want to have two hammocks under the same tarp. And it may be a snug squeeze, but do-able.

Question about the shock cord loops that come with the pole mod – are they intended to be used on the dee rings with the internal ridgeline?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Customer Service –
Greetings. The shock cord loops are intended to be prusik knotted onto the internal ridgeline, which will keep your internal poles in place. If you need further clarification, feel free to email us at [email protected]

In the tarp world, this beauty is a ten out of ten! It’s got it all! The looks…to some people, a tarp is just a tarp. To those of us who appreciate a good tarp, this thing is a real head turner! It’s really pleasing just to look at, but that’s only the beginning! The feel…the material is so soft and so smooth- it’s almost like silk. There really is no comparison. The weight…for the coverage you’re getting, this tarp is really lightweight! The protection…close the doors and let the winds blow! While I haven’t had it in any heavy storms (yet), I have 100% confidence this will hold up just fine. Being able to pitch close to the ground diminishes splashback and all but eliminates wind-driven rain (and at the same time eliminates the need for a UQ protector, saving a little weight). “Won’t leak! Can’t leak!” I have no doubt. Money well spent and happy to support local economies! Keep up the AMAZING work Dutch and crew! This tarp isn’t just a home run, it’s a Game 7, bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, full count, GRAND SLAM!

Absolutely delighted with my tarp, arrived much faster than expected.
Gives excellent protection from the elements. Held up well in some pretty strong gusts and driving rain at the weekend, even in porch-mode.
Well worth getting the pole mods, turns this tarp into a bunker.

Dutch really hit the mark with this one. I prefer a tarp that can be “sealed” at the bottom and this one has the width to accomplish it with a hammock inside. I’m 5’8″ tall and can almost stand straight up while in storm mode. Too many configurations to list. The fabric is super soft and I don’t see this thing leaking any time soon as the bonding is outstanding. Good job Dutch team, keep them coming!

When using the wide winter tarp for two people would external or internal pole mod be better? If internal would single or double be better?

Either option would work just fine but for the most room, a double internal would be you best option.
