A Whelen style canvas tarp tent with tweaks to make your camp better - a Thornhill UltraHeavy Whelen(ish)! No top bar or fixed poles - just use a couple of sticks or hiking poles to pitch 

The STANDARD Whelen(ish) gives roughly 3' x 6'6" floor cover (~0.9m x 2m) and comes with 12 tie outs and 3 panel pulls in 3mm riveted leather. All leather used is genuine vegetable tan and will patina / scratch up with age. Choose your canvas fabric thickness - each Whelen(ish) tent tarp is tailored to the trips you take: 8oz HEAVY for UltraHeavy junkies, 6 oz STANDARD for robust pitches, 4oz LIGHT for pack-outs with less space in the bag. 

New tweaked design from me with more stitching making an even stronger and more stable tarp. Heavy duty waxed cotton canvas and leather construction meaning that the plastic sound of a nylon tarp in the wind and rain is avoided and instead you get a calming outdoor experience. 

PLEASE NOTE 4oz fabric is custom order only, please buy the £0 option and I will message you directly for available options.
