    Best Tarp for two hammocks?

    I'm reaching out to get your alls input on which tarp you use for two people? I've tried different ones in the past, but was wondering if there is one with doors/vestibules on it that works well? My wife is always too scared to sleep under her own tarp, so we always share when she comes along. Just trying to find the best solution

    In my opinion, there is no off-the-shelf, one-person tarp that will provide adequate coverage for two people. The one-person tarps with doors won't shut with two people.

    One-person tarps with doors are meant to provide 4-season protection for one person, not two. Could you get something custom made? Possibly - I would guess you'd need something along the lines of an 11 x 12 or 12 x 12 tarp, maybe even 11 x 14 or 11 x 15.

    Kelty makes a 16 ft tarp,I believe,that is YUGE! Would work great for two people. I don't own any Kelty Noah tarps and recently have sworn off Kelty products due to poor customer service, but I know people here use them.

    I occasionally take 2 tarps and over lap them over the wife and I when we can find 3 trees in triangle or 4 trees close enough together to hang close enough. Works even when it's raining if u do the over lap to compensate for the direction the wind is blowing in to keep the wetness out.
