Tent Tarps & Rain Shelters

Not all outdoor adventures and activities call for a traditional camping tent. When you’re looking for a more basic shelter, a specialty shelter, or a bit of extra protection from a well-designed tarp, it's easy to find the perfect lightweight, durable option to suit your outdoor ambitions!

Tarps and Flys

When your main goal is to get out of the sun or the rain, a tarp or weather-coated fly is a satisfying solution. Tarps are easy to set up, require only a couple of poles and support wires, and provide the basic shelter you need for a day in the woods, an afternoon on the beach, or any other outdoor activity you have in mind.

For inclement weather, you can also use your tarp as an additional fly for your camping tent. Keep the snow, rain, hail, and ice at arm’s length for a dryer, more comfortable campsite.

Tarp-style shelters come in a few different popular configurations, from popup shades to traditional wing tarp formats.

Portable Screened Shelters

Flying insects are a major nuisance for a range of outdoor activities. When you want the breathability and natural feel of spending time outside of a tent, but don’t want the irritation or distraction of fighting off mosquitoes and other biting insects, consider setting up a portable screened shelter.

With tight-mesh screened walls and plenty of space to maneuver, you get the best of both worlds: protection from bugs, and quality time spent in the great outdoors. Sleep under the stars on a comfortable summer night or enjoy picnics with the whole family in your new outdoor living space.

Bivy Shelters, Portable Shower Tents, and Other Specialty Gear

Shower outdoors while maintaining privacy, sleep off-grid in a compact single-person bivy tent, or add a tarp ceiling to your pickup truck bed for tailgating, with a range of useful, high-quality, specialty shelters and tarps.

No matter what you have in mind for your time outdoors, it's easy to find the perfect gear to make each activity more comfortable and convenient.
