Today Lockie from the Ferntree Gully store demonstrates how to set up an A-Frame tarp. A-Frame tarp setups are very versatile, they can be used as a sitting area while you are camping, or even a sleeping area if the poles and tarp are positioned much closer to the ground. Using lightweight tarps and hiking gear as substitutes, an A-Frame Set up can still be achieved. The A-Frame set up is great as it stops water from pooling on the top of your tarp.
Being used in this video is a 2.3m x 3.5m tarp, 2 awning poles and 6 guy ropes.

Thanks for the guide. Extremely "to-the-point". I love when videos cut through all the bullshit. Didn't force me to sit through 20 minutes of "the complete history of tarpaulins"
lol...so true
Haha amen to that!!!
Wow late finding this one for me CZcams? Simplest A frame tarp set up I have come across.
Thanks for posting this. Very helpful
Thank you! Just the video I needed.
Great easy shade option!
Great simple video explanation! Well done I'll try it soon!
Have fun!
Great video. Can’t find a good instruction video for an A frame set up. This is perfect.
Glad to help
Best video so far:)
Thanks for the tip.
Thank you!
Excellent Vid. Thanks for the 'no nonsense' common sense demo! Legend!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you
Nice video
👍🏻good vid.....you don’t need to buy an expensive tent,this set up is just fine for me.
It's a good shelter no doubt! Pair it with an insect net and I'd be happy too! So long as I didn't want to sleep in. Then I'd need a tent
Tentworld - The Camping Experts how much are insect nets?
big help thaks a lot!
Glad to help!
Im heading to Bathurst 1000 and ima gunna give the a frame tarp ago 🎉 thanks
Nice video mate
How long should I buy ropes for 3x5m shelter tent and what they called the good one
Many thanks
I'd suggest double guideline on the end poles for stability
Agreed that gives even more stability. Particularly helpful for larger tarp setups
Can you set up the anchored ropes perfectly separated for the poles each time I try to do this solo like you did. Thanks
great video, thank you. Now to find lightweight sturdy poles to carry when backpacking.
A lot of people use their walking poles
@@tentworld I go motorcycle camping. So I need to carry lightweight poles.
@@yoshimitsu411 ok check out these. www.tentworld.com.au/buy-sale/supa-peg-swag-pole-75cm-twist-lock-aluminium
@@tentworld thanks heaps 👍
@@yoshimitsu411 They're not the lightest - I wouldnt recommend them for hiking, but motorcycle - possibly good solution. Let me know what you think! :)

I hope you're still around because I have a question about that tarp: How well does it block out the sun? I have a canvas tent and while nowhere that I camp gets as hot as Australia, it can still get pretty hot and if I could block the sun, I might be need to bring my 14,000btu air conditioner. Don't laugh, I had to give up the synthetic tents because it was so much hotter inside than outside it wasn't shelter.
These tarps do block the sun. So you just have radiant heat from tarp and then ambient air temperature.
@@tentworldThank you! This could open up options for us here where there aren't a lot of trees. It's nothing like Australia in Indiana so I figured it would work but I still wanted to ask.
were sale?
How do you know how much slack to put on the guy ropes when you're pegging them down before putting the poles up
Just do your best to guess, you can always quickly adjust it if you get it a bit wrong :)
A complete newbie here. What rope knots did you use around eyelets and pegs...?
We are using pre tied guy ropes. The models we used in this video are no longer available, but this 5 pack of guy ropes is the same kind of thing. www.tentworld.com.au/buy-sale/zempire-tough-guy-5pc-guy-ropes
Do I buy the guy lines like that?
Yes - guy lines like this are ideal for car camping, and larger tarp setups. Even better are guy ropes with springs. These help stop the pegs from vibrating out of their holes, and helps reduce stress on the tarp in windy conditions.
What is the plastic piece to tighten the guy rope?
There isn't much agreement on this name.
Guy rope tensioner
Rope runner
Rope gripper are some of the names.
Have you ever set up a 40m Lossberger structure? Now THATS a tent.
They are cool!!! But sadly, I dont usually go camping with an army.
@@tentworld haha! I used to set those up for a living!
I have 2.4M pole and I don't know how long guy lines I need for each ends. Can you help me please?
Time to drag out Pythagorean Theorem! But, to save you the effort if you're wanting your pole at 2.4m and your peg point 2.4m away from your pole then you want at least 3.4m of rope, more so that you have some rope for tensioning. You can play with the Googles Pythagorean calculator just here:

tried this and everytime our tarp tore... sadly not a all tarp sizes technique
What variety of tarp? If it's the same durability but larger yes you'll need more poles to spread the load
Hello friend, we are a pe tarpaulin factory in China. Hope can cooperate with your company
Your tarp set up is totally wrong
How do you like to do it?
He likes to wear adult diapers when he sets up a tarp. Its a personal preference for him. I dont think the majority of your viewers would subscribe to disposable diaperman’s views
