    I will now rotate my tarps as l do with the hammocks, l can't be accurate with a timeline of uv fatigue but 6-7 months of full exposure is possible.

    I started that after seeing that some of my gear was starting to fade due to UV exposure and didn't want to push it to the point of deterioration.
    Yeah l hear ya, the shady covering works great.... faded or sun blemishes had been apparent with a small spectrum of my gear..... at one stage l went searching for canvas tarps.... but the shade block out works out fine.

    That tarp would give good cover.

    Hey- my first post.
    I looked at the Dutch Ware tarp.
    Apparently the pole mods don't include poles.
    What would you use for poles to make that work?

    Assuming that you're going to be in the same place most of the time (so aren't going to be taking it down/carrying it around every day), you could just buy a cheap builder's tarp and put that up above that spot to keep the sun off.

    Why not something a bit heavier duty, and cheaper so you aren't spending as much to replace it? May as well use a large tarp. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B5S354J...t_details&th=1
