    Please recommend me a tarp for a WBRR

    I知 looking to buy a tarp for a WBRR . It need to be functional with a Tensa 4 stand with tarp extensions . I would like to also use it with 11 foot hammocks . I would also prefer a 12 foot tarp over 13 foot if it can be a good compromise between protection from the elements and allowing enough space for the spreader bars of the RR. Also I知 looking for a tarp with doors.

    I know of SLD Winter Haven, UGQ , and Warbonnet .

    I知 very interested on users feedback and suggestions


    Thanks

    I have a RR and use the WB Thunderfly tarp with it. It works great. I don't use a stand so I don't know about the compatibility with that.

    Of course the WB Cloudburst is purpose built for the RR. But you already mentioned WB.

    I have a UGQ Rectangle with the pull outs far apart also built for a bridge style hammock. It works very well with my wife's Chrysalis Bridge Hammock.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    I've been impressed with my MEC silnylon guides tarp ($130 Cad). It's a basic, square cut tarp that has irregularly spaced tie outs (intended for a one pole ground shelter) that work well for the Ridgerunner spreaders. At 12.8 feet long it covers the Ridgerunner nicely, not sure how it would do on a Tensa stand but MEC has an excellent return policy (and is in stock at the Montreal store) . I tend to camp in the early spring & late fall and mine has seen some wet, blustery nights..

    I definitely prefer 13' tarp with internal poles with my Ridge Runner. The external pole mod is fine, but the internal poles open it up like an aircraft hangar. A 12' tarp works, but my 13' SLD Wind Haven has been the best compromise for me when I want to take the RR. I just know going into it that it is going to be more weight for the RR, longer tarp, and pole mod (usually 2 poles, but sometimes I will take all 3).

    I use my 12' DIY silpoly hex tarp with internal pole mod. Just added the pole mod this summer and I think it's a game changer. Will use it whether I am using my RR, XLC or ElDorado. That added space is luxurious.

    If you are primarily sleeping in warmer temps the Cloudburst is really an ideal choice. Only 11' but designed specifically for the RR configuration/spreader bars, its a slam dunk. If you want more weather protection though it's def worth going to 13' with the Mountainfly or Superfly. I haven't tried any other brand tarps with the RR other than a backyard dare with a Kelty Noah tarp- not recommended!

    I was going to suggest the 13 ft SuperFly but you had specified 12 ft models. The idea is, you might be someplace were you are hanging your RR from trees. I like large tarps because I want more than my hammock to be dry. I want the area around my hammock to be dry too.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    I’m not sold on the 12 foot tarp . I just assume it was a good compromise between weight & length. I do have an 11 foot superfly and thunder fly but don’t find they cover enough. I also have to worry about the spreader bars touching the tarp. I’m really looking for a tarp with doors
