Camo tarps are favored by hunters and campers, for covering tents and camping gear, as a ground cover, as awnings, canopies or lean-tos, and to construct hunting blinds. Camo tarps are available in a variety of sizes and prices. Camo tarps are frequently used by non-hunters, for use as an inexpensive cover over outdoor gear, logpiles, or other outdoor items that need covering. Camo tarps are also used by birders and wildlife watchers to remain inconspicuous and avoid alerting or startling their "prey."
Since camo tarps are designed to blend into the surrounding natural scenery, they make an excellent cover for anything that should remain inconspicuous — for example, mowers, gardening supplies, mulch piles. Camouflage tarps are frequently available with camo printing on one side, and solid dark green on the other. The camo style is often the "woodlands" type, designed to blend into forest greens and browns.
Camo tarps are typically waterproof, and like other canvas or poly tarps, camo tarps can be purchased with mildew resistant and UV resistant coatings, and are also as heavy duty tarps and in extra-large sizes. They are available with grommets along the edges, which can be used to tie down the tarp or to suspend it from overhead branches or other supports.
Tarp suppliers that sell camo tarps frequently ofter camo netting and ghillie suits, as well. Camo tarps and other camo accessories are widely available at army surplus stores and camping outfitters.
Made of woven polyethylene, tarps are weather and tear resistant, UV lamination, heat-sealed seams, grommets, and reinforced edging with strong poly rope inside hem on four sides.

A decent quality tarp, the camo color is matt, not glossy, it's medium thickness, not quite (but almost) heavy duty, a bit expensive but still worth it, I would recommend it! The free shipping made the difference for me in this case...
11 ozs does not = a pound

Not Heavy Duty

These Tarps come in a package marked heavy duty, they ase not heavy duty in any sense of the word. I have a 6x8 that I am replacing that was much heavier and was a standard tarp. If you are looking for sometimg that will last do not buy. Go to Walmart and buy the blue 6x8 tarp for 4.88 and it will be heavier than this tarp guarenteed. I was looking for at least a standard gauge to replace my stantard gauge that I bought at walmart years ago that they don't oarry at the store any longer. In my opinion you can send these back where they came from. On top of that I got charged double for shipping because I ordered 2, thanks for nothing.
8+8 now = 13 1/2

This was just the size we needed and could not find the camouflage locally. Very nice for the price too.
great tarp for camping thin/lightweight and holds the weight of rain water

nice tarp that blends in so you can cache equipment in the woods. I got it at first for hammock camping in my skeeter beeter pro. .. a great comfy hammock that didn't come with a rainfly. This works but I will be buying a bigger tarp so i can make a bigger "porch for my outdoor home" and use this smaller one as a floor.
Tarp camping is good because you can use the trees to build yourself a nice outdoor shanty and a hammock made of parachute grade nylon as a bed. add in a camo camp stool so you have a place to take off your boots and chill and your good!
poor quality product

I was surprised to see how thin this tarp was. It is thinner than the average blue tarp that I am accustomed to. I paid a higher price because I thought I was getting a higher quality tarp. A disappointment. So keep in mind that 5 mm means really thin.

It's an ok tarp, with the exception of the POOR quality of the grommets with which mine came equipped. One is bent out of shape, apparently by the machine or person which pressed it in. And at least one other that I've noticed is separating from the tarp material such that it will probably fall out of its place under stress before much longer. Sorry for the bad report, but there is a serious quality control issue at the manufacturer, or such does not even exist. Did not send it back, because of how desperately I needed it, but feel like I should have. Oh well, maybe mine just slipped thru the cracks of inspection.

Product appearance is good. However, three of four corners have no grommets. There are grommets along the edges every two feet or so. I would describe the poly rope in the border as poly twine. I am using it to protect my boat cover from UV in the bright Colorado sun (7400 foot elevation). We'll see how it stands up to the elements.

These tarps are your standard run-of-the-mill tarps you might see at the stores. The camouflage pattern is a nice feature for outdoor / hunting use. The underside is olive drab.
Camouflage tarp is ideal for general covers, lumber covers, haystack covers, tent fly, canopies, car covers, machine covers, camping, hunting and fishing purposes.
