I am after a piece of Tyvek to use as a ground sheet for my tentfly/tarp set up. Can anyone tell me where you can get a piece about 2m x 3m or there abouts without having to buy a whole roll?
Thanks,
R

I tried to find some as well but most building wrap is not tyvek so ifound out, does that matter.

Nah, doesn't matter. All those white building wrap fabrics are supposedly one-way vapour permeable.Quote:

It comes up on Tard me from time to time. I picked up a roll with about 5m left on it for $20 a few years ago. It is bloody slippery as a ground sheet. If your sleeping on a slight slope, you will wake up off it most of the time. I use a bit for a tent footprint and it works great for that
Tyvek is not waterproof either
Is it not.Quote:

Yep, they are used as moisture barriers so youd want to hope so :DQuote:

My bad I was thinking Tekton not Tyvek
Send it through the washing machine a couple of times - it softens the fabric and quietens it down a heap. No detergent required.
No I have not found any yet. No building near me. Will keep looking though...Quote:

Thanks and much appreciated.
alternative -next time mrs is in toqwn ask her to call into a local haberdashery or dressmaking shop which stocks bulk materials -strong parka nylon /or some even stock heavy duty nylon for incontinence sheets for infants etc to protect the bed ding/mattress -2-3metres of that would do the trick and if you get red of orange could double as an emergency location panel for a chopper if you get injured in bush or on the tops. its usually pretty reasonably priced too.
3m window film works awesome as well, lighter and quieter than tyvek tooQuote:
