Quick answers

Hammock shelter questions

What size tarp do I need for a hammock?

A 10 by 10 foot tarp covers a single hammock with minimal overhang. Sizes from 10 by 10.5 feet up to 13 by 13 feet or 12 by 14 feet give more coverage and a drier hang in blowing rain.

Do hammock rain flies come with poles?

Some tarps in this use include two poles for a freestanding pitch, while others rely on trees or trekking poles. Screen houses use the hammock suspension and two openings rather than a pole frame.

What materials are used for hammock tarps?

Silnylon and coated nylon are common, with ultralight versions using thin silnylon to cut weight. Heavier coated fabric is used where durability matters more than pack weight.

Can a hammock screen house be used on the ground?

No, a screen house in this use hangs from the hammock suspension and is open at the base. It needs trees or a stand to hold the hammock and the enclosure.

Coverage for hammock sleepers

Hammock rain flies and screen houses are shaped to sit over a suspended hammock rather than a ground pad. They need a ridgeline or two anchor points and enough width to shed rain past the hammock body. Screen-house versions add a no-bug mesh enclosure with two openings for entry and airflow.

Forms and sizes

Two main forms appear: flat or catenary-cut tarps used as a rain fly, and enclosed screen houses that combine a tarp roof with mesh walls. Tarp sizes include 10 by 10 feet, 10 by 10.5 feet, 13 by 13 feet, and 12 by 14 feet, some with two poles included for freestanding pitch.

Colors are brown, green, khaki, and gray. Ultralight versions use thin silnylon, and a small ground-tarp size such as 56 by 72 inches covers gear or serves as a ground cloth under the hammock.

When a hammock cover is the wrong tool

A hammock rain fly does not provide a sealed floor or standing height, so it is not a substitute for a ground tent in cold or windy conditions. Screen houses in this use are open at the base and rely on the hammock suspension, so they cannot be pitched on open ground without trees or poles.
