Flat tarps | Shaped tarps |
square or rectangular shape | are not square or rectangular in shape in comparison to flat tarps |
flat edges, and 90 degree angles in the corners | have curved ridge line or curved side edges |
simple design | many different models and shapes |
less expensive than shaped tarps | are more expensive than flat tarps |
multipurpose usage and versatility - possible to set up in a wide variety of shapes depending on weather conditions and terrain | are not as versatile as flat tarps - can be pitched in a relatively small variety of configurations |
in high winds can also be pitched very low to the ground | it’s not possible to pitch them as low as a flat tarp in high winds |
so many ways to set them up require a little practice | are easier for beginners to set up |
depending on their pitch usally provide more usable shelter space than a comparably sized shaped tarp | usable space they provide is usually reduced by using catenary curves |
use more fabric therefore are a little bit heavier than shaped tarps | has less fabric because of cut using catenary curves and therefore are lighter |
