The Squal 3 is a ripstop nylon tarp for covering the campsite from the elements. It has a sewn-in ridgeline for pulling the tarp taunt as well as anchored guy-out loops along the perimeter to allow for a wide variety of set-up arrangements. Optionally, add-on a pole loop and reinforcement for equipping the tarp to be set up with a center pole.

I have their 10 x 10 tarp, for 6 years now, has held up like a champ.

I have had their 10′ X 12′ tarp for ~12 years and it has held up extremely well. This week I did have to treat with water proofing spray ($5 from Walmart) on the exterior and seam seal ($8 from Eastern Mountain Sports) the underside. The tarp has seen some heavy use and heavy rains over 12 years and been subject to high tension. There is in no significant wear or failure that is apparent. The tape reinforcement that runs in both directions in the center of the tarp has taken the tension well and protected the tarp from bowing in the middle. The tarp is meticulously maintained, cleaned and dried after every use. I expect it should last another 10 years. I remember 12 years ago it was pricey but when I compared it to cheaper tarps, it was clearly superior in design and quality with reinforcements. I have never regretted the purchase and would buy another if the need arises. I would show a picture of my set up with three poles and guy lines, if there were provision to show photographs.
