For the Kelty Noah. Were you able to adapt the sizing to fit in the tarp gromets? If so, how? Much thanks!

There isn't any way to adjust for the size of the grommets. I use mine with a standard "blue" tarp and it fits nicely.

I used for another type of pool ( not Intex) a large tarp and I attached medium size rocks ( you can use pretty much any sort of weights for that purpose) with wire at four side of tarp in the middle and the corners I would tuck under the pool. Still you have to make sure the Intex can support this set up-mine had an inflatable rim so it worked perfectly fine.

If you have a 10 by 20 "A" frame and the tarp is to be bungied to the frame it is best to get the 12 by 20 tarp. It will actually measure 11' 6" by 19' 6". This will allow the bungees to hold the tarp tight. You need the 12' to make up the rise of the top. The tarp will not actually reach all the way to the frame. It should be about 3" short all the way around. If you need bungees, buy the 7" length. The other feature to check is how many grommets it has and how far aprt they are. 18-24 inches works fine, all the way around. Hope this helps.

No. Last I heard, they only make one size. Mine is the Explorer Deluxe w/ an extra large tarp. Think big tent. It was hard to get everything into one snake. Now have a snake for the hammock and a snake for the tarp. This works fine. The scout and tarp should have more than enough room for one snake. They really weigh next to nothing and their performance is almost magical. Takes about 5 minutes to strike this tent. With one snake, it will even take you less time.

Yes you can. The different answers that you received are because the main seam line of the tarp runs diagonally. And the included guy lines come attached to these opposite sides. This is so that you can use two trekking poles like in the picture on the site to set it up as a diamond. But it is a versatile tarp and you can set it up in many different variations.

I just bought a tarp that was too big for the tent and then cut it to size. I taped off the cut edges so it wouldn't unravel. Best to have one that fits exactly underneath the tent. I wish I had a thinner one that would fit inside the tent bag, but the tarp doesn't take that much extra room. I didn't cut it to fit underneath the vestibule, but now I wish I had, but it isn't a big deal.

These come in different sizes, and I do believe there is a size or two smaller. Do a search on Grizzly Tarps and it should bring up all you can find in these on Amazon. FYI, I would never use on for backpacking, they are kind of bulky and a little, but just a little, heavy. Car-camping is a great use for them, where your vehicle is ten feet away from your tent. Other other outdoors or backyard uses.

My sons used the Coyote 80 for Philmont which was a 10 day 80 mile backpacking trip, but their body frames are a fair bit smaller than yours. I also accompanied them and am comparable in size 6'0", 200lb and used the Kelty Red Cloud 90. It worked out great. You may also want to look at the Red Cloud 110.

It's been a while, Al, but I seem to recall no unusual sizing issues. I sent it back, however, because it was too heavy for backpacking. If you're planning on standing in one place (on a boat or something,) this would be the ticket. I'm going to guess it'd be a medium?

I wondered the same, but once I got it I realized that because you can set this up in any shape and configuration, getting a premade cover for it didn't make sense. You can certainly use a grommeted tarp and attach it with zip ties.

Thanks for not answering the question, which by the way was a good question as tarps are often less than the advertised size. So I guess a and b doesn't really help

Went to the link identified by first commenter. Does not link you to a size chart. PAGE NOT FOUND. Changes link to remove myoutwardhound....to http://outwardhound.com/backpack-lifejacket-sizing-outward-hound2.html. After using drop down menu its just more info about the vest. Frustrating.

All by itself the tent is not completely watertight. Testing with a brand-new tent showed that a small amount of water got in. Very good for a single-layer tent, but since I wanted an absolutely dry tent in the worst conditions, I have added a 10x12 tarp. 8 extra stakes holds the tarp down, 4 on each end. To hold the tarp to the tent, I added 2 large grommets to go over the stakes at each end of the tarp, meaning, actually, the sides. Result is a very dark and somewhat stuffy but absolutely dry tent. Oh, one more thing, I had to reinforce the tarp fabric where I put the large grommets on, by putting on a couple of layers of duck tape first before cutting the grommet holes.

I ended up picking up an off-brand footprint at Academy that was on sale for like $6 or $7 (linked here: http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/no-limits-153-highland-peak-tent-footprint-groundsheet/pid-899503?N=882470663). It fits perfectly, but naturally, you could fold a tarp to fit. If you're going to backpack or do some hiking with it, it's worth getting a small lightweight footprint just to cut down the weight though.

I've got the 4 man size and it is very roomy for 2 people, even with cots. I use a 7'X8' garden tarp for the ground cloth and it extends out from under the tent into the vestibule area for a nice outside entry way. The pre-made snap on ground clothes are not as heavy duty as a tarp and just aren't worth the money. If you have more than 3 people using the tent go with the 6 man version. Great tent for the money. I use it year around.

It's ideal to have the same size, but probably difficult to find the exact size tarp. I think you can hang extra 6feet on one side or hang 3 feet width evenly for two sides, but this is not so secure against the strong wind. If I were you, I will shorten the 16 feet width to 10 feet width by folding( sewing, etc.)in the middle. So you can still use the ready-made holes to tie down to the frame securely for wind protection.
