FAQ
Is the MARS Cotton Tarp waterproof?
The TC cotton fabric offers excellent water resistance and performs well in light to moderate rain. As with most cotton-based shelters, waterproof performance improves after initial exposure to rain as the fibers swell. Seam sealing or additional waterproof treatment can be applied if required.
Can this tarp be used in hot weather?
Yes. TC cotton is breathable and helps reduce heat build up and condensation, making it more comfortable than synthetic tarps in warm conditions.
How many setup styles are possible?
With 31 tie-out points, the tarp supports numerous configurations, including A-frame, lean-to, diamond, extended canopy, and windbreak setups.
Does it include poles or stakes?
No. Poles and ground stakes are not included, allowing users to pair the tarp with their preferred camping or overlanding pole systems.
Is this suitable for car camping and overlanding?
Absolutely. The size, weight, and durability make it ideal for car camping, overlanding, and semi-permanent camp setups.
