I'm no longer sure just what a tarp tent is <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> and just how it is different from a tent? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Um a piece of nylon with a floor over eastman poles is a tent, and a piece of sil-nylon [larger] over trecking poles or eastman poles is a tarp tent. Generally tents have one or two doors, so do tarps unless they have no doors. Tarps flap a lot more in the wind and have thin thread tie-outs. My 16 ounce sil-tent has a floor and a bug screen in the bottom and a storm flap in the front. It was made from a tarp I bought on ebay. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> but its really more of a tube tent. I had an inflateable tent once, or was it a tarp since it had no poles? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
