DWS Outdoor Baja Tarp

The Baja Tarp from DWS Outdoor is a simple overhead shelter designed to give you extra coverage at your campsite. Whether you need shade on a sunny afternoon or a dry spot to cook and relax when the skies open up, this tarp stretches out to a roomy 300 by 300 centimetres to keep you covered.

Made from polyester with a PU coating, the tarp sheds rain and holds up against dew, while the steel poles and included guy lines and pegs keep it standing firm when wind picks up. When you’re packing up, the whole setup rolls into a 56 by 10 centimetre carry bag and weighs just over two kilos—small enough to slot into most kit lists without taking up much space.

The 2000 mm PU coating means the fabric can resist a two-metre column of water before it starts to leak, so it stands up well to light or moderate showers. The steel poles give the tarp enough rigidity to stay taut, and the standard guy lines let you adjust tension to keep rain from pooling.
