The Summit 4-Season Hammock Tarp

Like our 3-season hammock tarp, the Summit 4-season hammock tarp is made of 1.1 oz sq/yd Silpoly. Why is this important? When wet, polyester stretches less than nylon, keeping it taut if you plan on camping during some nasty weather.

After all, that’s what our hammock tarps and other hammock camping gear is about—giving you a comfortable and efficient way of camping even in rough, nasty camping conditions.

Ridgeline

Summit tarps utilize a flat-felled / French seam for durability & strength.

Reinforcement

With a 400 d ripstop sewn into each corner and connecting material along the entire length of the tarp’s frame, this durable hammock tarp will remain steady and provide shelter even in some of the windiest conditions you’ll encounter.

Tieout Material

With highly durable tieout material, this hammock tarp will remain locked in place.

You only need 4 stakes to keep the hammock tarp locked in place, as the tieout rope for the doors are long enough to share the corner stakes.

Doors

Unlike the 3-season tarp, the 4-season tarp has doors on each end composed of two overlapping layers leaving a small area at the top for ventilation. These layers are held closed using line lock clips connected to the corner stakes via the rope—opening them is as easy as tilting back the line lock to allow for some slack.

The 4-season hammock tarp features an optional continuous ridgeline consisting of grey Lash-It 1.75mm, Titanium Dutch Hook spliced on the end, two continuous loops of grey Lash-It 1.75mm, and a Loop Alien Titanium RCA at the other end.

This makes for an easy set up centering of the hammock tarp.

*Note- Tarps do not come with the seams factory-sealed. You will need to use a seam sealer made specifically for silicone coated fabrics. We recommend Seam Grip+SIL from Gear Aid.
