Tie-out layout

The tarp has 17 tie-outs across the ridge, perimeter, and panels. One panel tie-out sits centered within each side of the tarp's body; these help resist wind loading and let you open up more space underneath.

Note: two of the ridge tie-outs/hang loops sit at different distances from each end. This lets you use either end as the head-end. Some inners pitch better when the head apex clips further inward than the foot apex, or vice versa. It also gives you more flexibility for an improvised beak: when you use a tie-out as the new ridge endpoint, one distance may work better than the other for a given site.

Tie-out design

Each tie-out uses a cord loop rather than direct attachment. The loops take the wear from staking and guying, and when they eventually show signs of use, they're user replaceable. All tie-outs are reflective, making them easy to spot when you're setting up or moving around camp in the dark. Ridge tie-outs include hang loops for suspending an inner (bivy or net tent), and you can also clip to any perimeter tie-out loop.


Notes:

  • The ridgeline and panel tie-outs need to be seam sealed before use, per these instructions (or use our seam sealing service).
  • Many of the pictures show the tarp in a gray color which is no longer available.
  • Color of the gridstop reinforcements may vary from what's shown.

Made in the USA from imported fabric.

Love the Stretch
I have two 15 ish pound dogs that love to pull and tug on this toy...all day long, every day. It's long enough for the humans in the house to also grab an end and not worry about getting nipped by playful pups. The fact that it stretches seems to be even more fun for the dogs. We have several other similar unstuffed long toys but they get very little attention. This toy is definitely unique and a cut above the other similar toys. The stretch seems to make all of the difference. If they had more animal choices, I would buy them all.

Durable and fun dog toy.
Color: Hammer, Size: Large
This plush hammer toy is incredibly soft and adorable, filled generously with plush material. My dog looks so goofy carrying it around in his mouth, and he has so much fun squeaking it! It's surprisingly durable; unlike many of his toys, which he typically chews through quickly, this one has stood up to his rough play so far. The little rope at the end is a thoughtful design element, allowing him to chew on it while maintaining durability. At 12 inches, the size is generous, making it perfect for medium and large dogs. Cleaning is easy; it can be spot cleaned with a microfiber cloth and warm, soapy water. For just $14.99, this toy is an excellent quality choice for the price!

Phoebe approved! 3 months and still going!!
Color: Hammer, Size: Large, Color: Hammer, Size: Large
I have 2 dogs--a chocolate lab and a pittie mix. Normally, they shred their toys within minutes/hours if not days, but this one has lasted for over 3 months! It is well loved and starting to show some wear, but I am super impressed with how long this one has lasted. It has a couple holes in it but they haven't disemboweled it. The squeeker didn't last too long, but they never do.

Good for modest chewers who don't destroy toys.
Color: Hammer, Size: Large
We have four dogs, one of whom is a super chewer. Unfortunately, this toy wasn't even durable enough to stand up to our mid-level chewer. She had the squeaker out of this in mere moments, and the rope was untied and in shreds. We had to basically remove the squeaker from her, then clip the rope from the toy so she didn't try to eat it. Now, don't get me wrong. She's still having a great time with this toy, even as she whips it around and tosses stuffing everywhere. This is definitely sized for medium to large dogs, but I would only recommend this to dogs who don't like to destroy their toys, but instead just like to squeak them and maybe play some light tug. For those dogs, this will be a great option. For super chewers, this will last only minutes and I would not recommend it.
