(I ask because my kelty tarp does not and its like sitting in a greenhouse!)** A: It would also fit in your greenhouse category. Good shelter from the storm, not from the sun. **Q: What size tarp should we get to fully encompass an eno double nest hammock with coverage on all sides like the last product picture on amazon? thanks!** A: Depends on the size of your hammock and how much you need around it. The 15 by 15 should provide you with adequate coverage. I myself purchased the 10 by 10 and this also should be enough coverage for a hammock. It all depends on how you want to set it up and how much room you figure that you will need...... This is one of the learning curves of camping! **Q: Can this be used as a patio shade all summer?** A: I think it would be fine for that. Barring a major storm with high winds or large hail. The tarp i have has about 3 years of use on it as a shelter and is not showing any signs of extreme wear or sun damage **Q: Wondering how this would work on my pickup to protect construction equipment from the weather. Can fasten for traveling.** A: the tarp has plenty of webbing loops that help with tying down on multiple sides. You should be able to find a way to tie it securely but that depends on the person. ## Frequently Bought Together - AquaQuest Defender Camping Tarp - Heavy Duty Tent Shelter or Rain Fly - Waterproof Camping Essentials for Hiking, Bushcraft & Hammock - Green Elephant Camping Tarp Poles - Adjustable Aluminum Telescoping Tent Poles for Tarps, Canopy & Awning - Heavy Duty Collapsible Pole Set of 2 - Extends 8ft, Shrinks to 2ft - Caravan & Beach Shade - Smithok 8 Pack 4mm Guy Lines Ultralight Tent Cords with Aluminum Adjuster Tensioner Outdoor Camping Guylines Ropes for Tent Tarp,Climbing,Hiking Backpacking (Army-Green) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/283371166-aqua-quest-defender-tarp-100-waterproof-heavy-duty-bushcraft-survival](https://www.desertcart.us/products/283371166-aqua-quest-defender-tarp-100-waterproof-heavy-duty-bushcraft-survival) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
