The CCS 1.9oz Silnylon Tundra Tarp is constructed from 1.9oz silicon coated nylon (70 denier, Type 6 nylon 15lb tongue tear strength), making them light weight and very strong, and is designed to give you maximum set-up flexibility for any campsite you may find yourself in.
Available in 3 sizes (8x10, 10x10, 12x10), each CSS Tundra tarp features nylon thread construction, taped edges and nylon tie-outs every 20" - 24", as well as a reinforced centre loop with CSS's ingenious quad loop tie-out: a means of attaching a centre pole (stave, hiking pole, canoe paddle) as a central support when the tarp cannot be suspended.
Each Tundra Tarp comes complete with a stuff sack, 80ft (24m) of 450 lb test polyester cord, SilNet seamsealer and an applicator brush (for initial seam sealing before use).
- Silicone coating does not wet out like urethane coated nylons
- 3/4” nylon tape around perimeter with loops spaced every 20 to 24 inches around edges and along internal seams.
- The strongest construction and most versatile to set up
- Seams are sewn with nylon thread, single needle lockstitched with double stiched lapped seams
- NO Grommets...which often fail at the worst times
- Pack cloth reinforcement in centre with quad loops for securing a centre pole
- Depending on the size of the tarp it is constructed from either 4 or 6 panels.
- Weight: 8x10: 680g - 10x10: 879g - 12x12: 1050g

Thanks for your review. You ask a very good question about why the tarps are not factory seam sealed, and I’d like to provide an answer: the tarps are not factory seam sealed by design, in that manually seam sealing after construction of the tarp yields the strongest and most durable product possible - a key element in Cooke Custom Sewing’s design, and in our decision to carry them.
A few facts about silicone, urethane, and nylon: in order to factory seam seal, urethane must be added to the silicone coating of the fabric to allow for adhesion. Without it, the silicone is too slick, and will not provide a proper bond. The same 1.9 oz nylon base fabric, treated with urethane will yield a 5.5 lb tear strength, while when treated with silicone will yield a 15 lb tear strength. This has to do with the way in which urethane and silicone bond with the base nylon fibres.
For the greatest material strength, no urethane is added to the silicone fabric coating. This then means that the seams cannot be sealed during manufacture, and necessitates manual seam sealing afterwards.
In our estimation, while this does provide for a bit of prep work for the customer before using the tarp, once completed, it also offers to the customer a tarp that is as strong and durable as it can possibly be - meaning you can count on it when the wind is whipping in hard off the lake, or pelting you with freezing rain in the fall - not only in those instances, but for years and years to come. We consider this worth the small investment of time at the beginning of the tarp’s life.
I suspect that the longer you have your tarp, the more you’ll appreciate the design and manufacturing decisions that inform it.
I hope this helps to shed light on things for you - do feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
Cheers -
