Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need a ground sheet when camping?

Using a camping ground sheet is highly recommended when camping. A ground sheet provides an extra layer of protection between your tent floor and the ground, preventing moisture from seeping in and reducing wear and tear on your tent. Economy tarpaulins from Tarpaflex make excellent ground sheets as they are lightweight, waterproof, and easy to pack. If you prefer something more robust, camping tarps can also be used under your tent or as an additional shelter above it.

What to put on the ground when camping?

When camping, it's best to place a camping ground sheet or tarp under your tent to protect it from sharp objects, moisture, and dirt. Economy tarpaulins are perfect for this purpose, providing a waterproof barrier that enhances the tent's durability. For extra comfort and insulation, consider layering dust sheets or foam mats on top of the ground sheet. At Tarpaflex, you can find a variety of tarpaulins, including small tarpaulins ideal for compact tents and camping tarps that can be used as shelters or windbreaks.

What is the difference between a ground sheet and a tarp?

A ground sheet is specifically designed to sit underneath a tent, protecting the tent floor from moisture and abrasion, and is usually cut to fit the tent's footprint. In contrast, a tarp is a versatile sheet of waterproof material that can be used for multiple purposes, such as a tarp tent, camping tarp, or temporary shelter. At Tarpaflex, our economy tarpaulins are popular for both ground sheets and general camping use because they are lightweight, durable, and cost-effective.

What is the best way to store a boat outside?

The best way to store a boat outside is to keep it covered with a waterproof and UV-protected cover. Tarpaflex's economy tarpaulins are perfect for use as boat covers, as they protect against rain, sun, and dirt while being lightweight and easy to handle. Make sure to secure the cover with rope or bungee cords to keep it tight and prevent it from being blown off by strong winds. For added protection, consider using dust sheets inside the boat to cover seats and equipment.

Is it ok to cover a boat with a tarp?

Tarpaulin is great for use as boat covers, as long as the tarp is waterproof, UV-protected, and properly secured. Tarpaflex offers a range of economy tarpaulins that are ideal for use as boat covers, protecting your boat from rain, snow, and sun damage. These tarps are lightweight, rotproof, and shrinkproof, ensuring long-lasting durability. To securely fasten the tarp, use bungee cords or rope, both available from Tarpaflex, to keep the cover in place during windy conditions.
