TIPS AND TRICKS
Prior to leaving home check your tarp for damage and missing parts.
The tarp works best when tensioned properly. Nylon fabrics absorb moisture and
will stretch and then contract when dry. Re-tensionn the tarp when necessary.
Nothing damages a tarp faster than UV radiation. Lightweight tarps are not
intended for use in prolonged, stationary settings exposed to the sun. Set up
in shade or take down during the day when not in use.
A dusty or dirty tarp is best washed with a water hose and sponge. Never dry-
clean or place a tarp in a washing machine or tumble dryer as this will damage
the coating and fabric.
Dry and air your tarp thoroughly prior to storage. This process may take a
couple of days before all webbing and thread are completely dry. Store the
tarp in a dry place as humidity may lead to mildew.
Extreme Tarps: As seams of a siliconized tarp can not be seam taped, we use
cotton-wrapped polyester-core thread. These expand when wet and seal the stich
holes when wet. For additional sealing the seams can be treated with a
silicone sealant (e.g with Seamgrip+SIL by McNett).
Versa/UL Tarps: A fabric tear can be temporarily repaired using an adhesive
patch. With scissors or a sharp knife, round off the corners of the patch
prior to use and apply to the coated side of the fabric. Once back home, sew
the patch to the fabric for a permanent repair. Seam sealer (e.g. SeamGrip+WP
by McNett) can be applied to the seams for waterproofing.
WARRANTY AND REPAIR (5 YEAR WARRANTY)
5 year warranty. Defects in materials and workmanship will be repaired or replaced at Exped`s discretion. Damage due to ware and tear can usually be repaired at a nominal charge NOTE: Any outdoor product is subject to wear and tear during usage, especially lightweight gear. Treat it with care.
QUALITY CHECK
To ensure they are free of defects, individual tarps are inspected multiple times during production, including a final set-up prior to leaving the factory.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMPATIBILITY
It is second nature for us to produce and act as environmentally and socially
responsible as possible.

EXPED – TARPS
Thank you for purchasing an Exped tarp. Innovation, quality and refined details distinguish them from all others.
FULL SIZE TARP
When the tarp is used as a full-size shelter, note that the center point
should be higher than the corners and sides to prevent water accumulating in a
puddle during rainfall. Tie out the guylines found in the corners to pegs,
trees rocks or other secure anchor points. Additional guylines can be attached
to loops found along the edges of the tarp.
CLOSED ON ONE SIDE
Anchor one side close to the ground with pegs and corner guylines. Create a
ridgeline as shown above using guylines and anchor the tarp`s opposite
corners. If trees are not available, support the tarp corners with branches,
kayak paddles or Exped Tarp Poles of the desired height and tension guylines
at an angle, securing with pegs. Add tautness and wind stability to the
structure by attaching and anchoring supplemental guylines where needed.
A-FRAME
Tie a cord between two trees, slip the tarp over the cord and anchor the corners with pegs or guylines. Depending on the height of the cord the sides will reach the ground or a gap to the ground will remain.
