ZPacks Cuben Fiber Groundsheet

Description:

This lightweight durable groundsheet is perfect under any tarp or in the Hexamid tents.
  • The standard ground sheets are constructed from black 1.26 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber which is lighter and stronger than Tyvek or other similar ground sheet materials. The material is twice as thick as the .51 oz/sqyd tent material and very waterproof and puncture resistant.

    The "Lite" groundsheets are made from .74 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber. This material is a little easier to puncture and requires more care. If it does puncture it can be easily patched with duct tape.
     
  • The groundsheets are folded up around the edges creating a bathtub to protect you from ground water and spray. The corners are folded and sewn at the top so there are no seams to seal at the corners. They do however have a seam at the center which should be sealed with Sil Net (included with shelters or sold separately).
     
  • The perimeter has rolled edges sewn all the way around just like a tarp for extra strength.
     
  • 6 tie out loops at the corners and sides allow you to stake or clip the ground sheet in place if desired. You could also potentially set the ground sheet up as a small tarp to sit out some rain.

    Elastic and clips are available separately below, to clip the groundsheet to a Hexamid shelter.

Size "Solo"

Sized to fit a single hiker and a small amount of gear. A good fit for the Hexamid Solo tent.

28" wide at the ends, 36" wide at the center, 7 feet long, with 3" folded up all the way around. (If the material were laid flat the dimensions would be 34" x 42" x 7.5 feet).
Size "Solo-Plus"
Spacious for a single hiker plus gear, or tight for two people. Fits any of the three Hexamid tent sizes.

28" wide at the ends, 42" wide at the center, 7 feet long, with 5" folded up all the way around. (If the material were laid flat the dimensions would be 38" x 52" x 94").

New! Also available with a hood for dual use as a Poncho!
Size "Twin"
Spacious for two hikers. It is a good size for the Hexamid Solo-Plus or Twin tents.

38" wide at the ends, 50" wide at the center, 7 feet long, with 5" folded up all the way around. (If the material were laid flat the dimensions would be 48" x 60" x 94").

Other Notes:
If you prefer a flat ground sheet or want to make your own, Tyvek or Cuben Material are available.
