Kodiak Canvas Ground Tarp

While it is specifically sized at 120 by 120 inches to fit 10x10 Kodiak Canvas tents, it can be used with any tent that fits within those dimensions. Just ensure your tent footprint is slightly smaller than the tarp to prevent water from pooling between the layers.

This tarp is constructed from 11 mil polyethylene, which is significantly thicker and more durable than standard, thin-gauge tarps. It also features a rope-reinforced, welded hem and rustproof aluminum grommets designed specifically to withstand the tension and wear of camping setups.

Yes, it is crucial that the edges of the ground tarp do not extend beyond the footprint of your tent. If the tarp sticks out, it will catch rainwater and funnel it directly underneath your tent floor, defeating the purpose of using a footprint.

While the material is waterproof and UV resistant, it is primarily designed as a ground barrier. You could technically use it for shade, but it is heavy and lacks the specialized attachment points found on dedicated rain flies or sun shades.

Because the material is waterproof and durable, you can simply hose it off with water and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before folding it up to prevent mildew or odors from developing during storage.
