A few tarping questions
Hi guys, just a few questions.
Anyone know of anywhere in nz where you can get a decent silnylon tarp? About 8x10 foot?
Also, in terms of groundsheets for use under them, what would you guys reccomend. I hear that tyvek is good, but just looking at the spec for it, it only has 2500mm HH, so I feel like seepage could be an issue. I have heard that the polycryo stuff is good, but that is afaik, not available over here.
Also, Back onto tyvek, anyone know of a source of it in the auckland area, or one that would ship to auckland? Im looking into maybe making a tarp out of it on the cheap.
Cheers guys!
(Btw, just branching to circumvent the new topic bug aha)
