Start by laying the tarp out flat and
staking one of the 9 foot sides
|
Fold 3 feet of the tarp under itself
to make the canvas a 9' x 9' square.
|
Lift up each set of poles until tarp is taunt.
|
The poles will line up along the edge of the tarp when lifted. Using the loops 3
and 6 feet up the edge of the canvas tie off to the poles. A support stick can be
added to the back to help support the canvas or tie of the D-ring in the back.
|
Tie a set of pole in the center of the
tarp on each end just like the tarp tent.
|
Secure two 11 foot poled to the
top and lift up.
|
Next, pull the other side over until roughly 7
feet apart and stake down.
|
Stake two sides to the desired width. The top loop,
two D-rings, and bottom loop should all line up.
|
The basic Lean-to set up can be use
easily as well.
|
The traditional A frame is most commonly set up with a ridge pole or ridge line
but can also be set up using 4 poles. It is also easily converted into a lean-to.
There you have it. A snug bedroll securely
fastened with plenty of canvas to be pulled
over your head if needed.
|
Our tarps are designed to be folded into a traditional cowboy bedroll.
|
Next, at the foot of the bedroll fold 3' of the tarp
over your feet. Line up the loops and tie off.
|
Start by laying out your tarp and add your
bedding in the center.
|
Next, fold 3' of the tarp over your bedding.
This will expose two of the D rings.
|
When the tarp is folded up you will have 5 layers
of canvas over your feet and 2 over your body.
|
Last, fold over the other side, lining up loops
and D rings. Tie them together.
|
This classic set up will provide you with a lot of room when needed. The easiest
set up method is to tie the peek directly to a tree but poles are always an option.
