Hammock BlissAll Purpose Waterproof Shelter - Waterproof Tent Tarp, Rain Fly and Hammock Shelter to Cover Your Hammock and Your Gear – Make Hammock Camping A Rain Free and Dry Experience

I was looking for a lightweight tarp to cover my hammock as well as my bivy. This tarp works great for both. I really like that there are 6 cords already attached to the ends of the tarp. Makes set up quick and easy. I will say though that if you set it up like it is in the photo, you better hope it doesn't rain. The hammock is way too low in the photo for the tarp, in either configuration, to protect you from rain. I found that if I place the hammock directly underneath the tarp so that the sides hang lower than the sides of the hammock, I will stay dry even when it's raining in sheets. I do wish that there were cords coming off the middle of each long side (a pocket to stuff the cord away when not needed would be ideal)since the long sides tend to sag a little. When used as a tarp for my bivy, the long sides sometimes catch more wind because nothing is holding them down. This puts more pressure on the cords so be sure to stake them very securely. I've found that putting a decent sized rock in the middle along each long side helps.Overall, I'm very happy with this tarp. It is very lightweight and well contructed. And you literally can't beat the price.

This is a good tarp for the price. I've used it on about 6 weekend backpacking trips in the Rockies, along with an old Byer Traveller hammock for a reasonably lightweight setup.Pros:WaterproofDouble-sided for sun or rainFairly packableAffordableCons:No stretch to the materialOn the heavier side for a "lightweight" tarpNo grommets in between the cornersTricky to achieve good tautnessA bit small, pitch must be perfect for full coverageThis tarp has kept me bone dry on numerous rainy nights. It is a bit small for a hammock, and getting it taut is kind of a pain. On average I spend about 20 minutes getting pitched right to ensure I'm dry all night. I also had to punch 2 holes in the side edges to accommodate extra guylines and achieve a good pitch, otherwise the edges tend to sag and funnel rain too close to my hammock. Other than that I have no complaints. Is it worth the money? Personally I would spend an extra $40 and get a good silnylon tarp with better shape and flexibility, but if you are on a budget it will do the job.

This is very well constructed and has held up well. If you're going to keep any serious rain off you're going to need to add at least one tarp clip and guy rope in the middle on each side. The length is exactly the same as a Hammock Bliss hammock, so it has to be hung very precisely and the ends of your hammock are still going to get a little wet in a hard rain.

No instructions were included but this item is easy to setup. My only gripe is the width of the rain fly could of been better for protection from the elements. In order for this item to be effective you will need to set it up very close to the hammock. I find using rocks instead of tent stakes(not included) make it easier to fix if you run into a line.

I like this item, but wish that it came with ties along the length of the cover. I have not been in inclimate weather yet, but can see it flopping around a bit and allowing the rain to come in. It worked pretty well as a sun shade.

Great for super light rains, but anything with some wind or force to it will get you soaked no matter how tight you pitch the tarp to the hammock. Not caternary cut so it doesn't pitch as tight as it could otherwise. If I had it to do it over again I would probably go with the ENO Dry Fly - a friend has one and it blows this tarp away.

This is a quality shade/shelter and very nice however I wish it was a little wider.I've used it 4 times and appears to be made well enough that it will most likely last a long time.It's also very light weight.

its not big or wide enough to cover you out of the wet weather, specially in windy weather. need to be bigger
