Ultramesh Tarp

G'day Rodger,

The Ultramesh Tarp just comes in the one colour, which is Green.

G'day David,

The Ultramesh Tarp is made from a fairly tightly woven mesh, but it will let rain/water through rather than cause pooling and runoff.

G'day Scott,

We sell the Ultramesh tarp in 10 sized, so if you're having trouble adding the size you're after to your bag maybe give us a buzz and we can problem-solve with you over the phone.

G'day Russell,

We do have all the available sizes and their measurements listed in the drop down menu, and you've got a couple of different width options that would work for you with the 10ft (3.05cm) or 12ft (3.65cm) lengths.  I reckon your best bet is to work out the minimum dimensions you're after first, and select the tarp that fits those best.

G'day Bella,

There are a few Ultramesh tarp options that should work for your Instant Cabin Gold 8P. The 3.05m x 6.1m would give you the best coverage plus a little extra extension in front of the doors. You can peg through the Ultramesh tarps but repeated pegging will lead to some holes forming. We'd suggest setting it up the same way each time so the peg holes line up. The other option would be to go for the 2.44m x 6.1m, you'll have a tarp that is a little narrower than the tent this way, but will still give you the length for the front section. It's up to you really, but both options should work for your tent.

G'day Alanah,

Generally, you want the tarp under your tent to be mesh so that the water can flow down through it into the ground rather than pool between the tarp and your tent floor. The tent floor itself will likely be waterproof and have a waterhead rating. The tarp is designed to protect the floor of your tent rather than contribute to keeping it waterproof. So in short, the Ultramesh Tarp will suit in all seasons.

G'day Abhi,

That's a hard one to get an exact match on mate, but with the external dimensions for the Coleman 6p Gold Dark Room being 470L x 270W cm I reckon either the 8 x 16ft or maybe the 10 x 16ft..?  The former means you have to compromise a little on the width to get a closer match on length, and the later gives you extra width with the same length.  Some people like to have their groundsheets/tarps extending out from beneath the tent floor so if this is your preference as well, you might want to consider upsizing..?  Just click on the dropdown menu for all the different sizes.  Cheers :)

G'day Alan,

I can confirm that there are eyelets every 90cm along the sides of the Ultramesh Tarp. They are a single layer mesh tarp and the consensus from staff who have these is that you can see through them so you wouldn't be able to use it as a shower screen.

G'day Jim,

Thanks for your enquiry. The brass eyelets on all sizes of the OZtrail Ultramesh Tarps measure at approximately 90cm apart. 

G'day Sharon,

The Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp and Fast Frame Floor Guard are made from a very similar Polyethylene material. The Fast Frame Gloor Guard will fit exactly to your tent, but if you're happy with a fit that's slightly smaller or larger th Ultramesh Tarp will do the trick. 

G'day Jared,

I've just done a poll of the staff here in the office who have the Ultramesh Tarp and they've all said they don't get slippery when they're wet, so you should be fine with rain or overnight dew.

G'day Sian,

Yep mate, going with 2 smaller ones would be what I'd choose :)  Depending on how much you want it extending out around the Galaxy Plus, would determine which size you'd go for.  I'd probably opt for overlapping the tarps in the middle and pegging them at the outer edges rather than meeting them up underneath the tent and pegging down the centre line, but of course, that's totally a matter of personal preference :)  Cheers!

It's similar, B, not quite in the same league but far more affordable. It's made with a single layer of woven fabric, whereas the C-gear mats use a multi woven double layer fabric. The Ultramesh tarp is a fantastic choice though, I use one for my camping needs. Check out this video we created to show the performance on the beach - https://youtu.be/gEKs0X4c3o0

G'day Bruce,

I've asked around in the shop for a few options and we think the Ultramesh Tarp would provide better puncture resistance under your tent. They're a bit like a double-layered shade cloth so they're pretty tough despite being a mesh. It's worth noting though that the overall durability probably isn't as good as they're not as easy to care for/clean etc. Have a read of our blog on choosing a ground sheet, there are a few pointers in there that might help with your decision. The 8x8 should be a good fit for you Coleman Instant Up Darkroom 4p. 

G'day Dee,

The Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp 8 x 12 foot (2.44 x 3.65m) will suit your Coleman Instant Up 4P tent well, and the Supa Peg Key-Head Galvanized Steel Steel Pegs in 225mm will work well as a slightly heavier alternative to the pegs than the ones that come with the tent.
