You cover the cost of returning it unless the item is faulty.

Dry it before it goes back in the pouch, every time. A waterproof tarp packed damp grows mould on the coating and the coating is the waterproofing. Sponge it clean rather than machine washing.
About this product
Nylon and polyester, reinforced seams, and a pouch to keep it in. Pitched high it is shade, pitched low it is a roof, and it works over a hammock or on its own.
The tarp measures 11 x 9 feet (3.35 x 2.74 m), which the listing contrasts with smaller flies that come down to 5 x 9 feet.
Material is nylon and polyester with reinforced seams, and the listing rates it waterproof rather than shower resistant.
It sets up in minutes and packs into the pouch it comes with, at 26 ounces.
Beyond hammock cover it works as a sunshade, a tent cover, a picnic mat or a beach tarp, which is why it tends to stay in the car.
Color is gray. The listing publishes no guy line or peg count, so ask us if you need to know what is in the bag.
Rain flies are mostly sold on the fabric and bought on the size. A tarp that is technically waterproof but 300 mm too short on the diagonal still lets the rain in at your feet, which is why the listing leads with the measurement.
At 11 x 9 feet this one covers a standard camping hammock with margin at both ends. Pitch it in a ridge over the ridgeline and the water runs off the sides rather than pooling in the middle.
Pitched high and open it becomes shade, which through an American summer is the use it gets most. The same tarp goes over a picnic table, over a camp table, or across the boot of a car at a beach.
The seams are reinforced, which is where cheap tarps fail first, and the whole thing rolls into its own pouch at 26 ounces. That is light enough to carry and small enough that it lives in the pack rather than getting left behind.
It is a piece of kit that earns its place the one weekend a year the weather turns, and does something useful the rest of the time.
Still deciding?
You can change your mind. This shop's own returns policy gives you 15 days from purchase to send it back in its original packaging with proof of purchase, and we refund the price you paid for the goods.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. We pay the return shipping and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back, and your rights under United States federal and state law are unaffected.

In this guide, we’ll explore why a rain fly is essential, key features to look for, and how to set it up for the ultimate hammock camping experience.
Unlike tents, hammocks leave you exposed to the elements. A hammock rain tarp acts as a barrier against rain, wind, and UV rays, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable. Here’s why every camper should pack one:
Choosing the right hammock rain fly depends on your camping needs and weather conditions. Here are the most popular options:
1. Rectangular Hammock Rain Tarp
A classic choice that offers good coverage and simple setup. This versatile option provides a solid shelter for most camping scenarios.
2. Hexagonal Hammock Rain Fly
Designed with angled sides, this lightweight yet effective tarp provides excellent rain and wind protection while reducing excess material weight.

4. Asymmetrical Hammock Camping Rain Fly
A lightweight, minimalist option, ideal for backpackers who prioritize weight reduction over full coverage.
A proper setup ensures maximum protection and comfort. Follow these steps for a foolproof installation:

Pick an area with natural wind barriers like trees or rocks to reduce exposure. Avoid low-lying spots where rainwater can accumulate.
Step 2: Secure the Ridgeline
Attach your hammock rain fly to trees using adjustable guylines or a ridge cord. Keep it slightly higher than your hammock to allow proper airflow.
Step 3: Adjust the Tension
Ensure the hammock camping rain fly is tight and angled so that rainwater runs off efficiently instead of pooling.
Step 4: Stake It Down
Use stakes or tree roots to anchor the corners, preventing the hammock rain tarp from flapping in strong winds.
A high-quality hammock rain tarp should offer durability, weather resistance, and ease of setup. Here’s what to look for:
1. Waterproof Material
Opt for ripstop nylon or polyester with PU coating to ensure water resistance. A hammock rain fly with seam-sealed stitching offers additional protection.
2. Lightweight and Compact Design
For backpackers, a lightweight and foldable tarp is crucial for easy packing. Look for options that fit into a small stuff sack.
3. Versatile Tie-Out Points
Multiple attachment points allow customizable setups to adjust for different weather conditions.
