View delivery optionsView product description
The Robens Outback Tarp 4 x 4 m is a large polycotton shelter built for campers who want a shade or rain canopy that goes up fast and packs away without fuss. The HydroTex Polycotton fabric is a 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend, which breathes better than pure synthetic options and feels more comfortable to sit under in warm weather. At 4 x 4 m, it gives you 16 square metres of coverage, so there's room for a seating area, a cooking spot, or a shaded zone alongside your tent. This Tarp can be used solo or with the Klondike tents.

Is the Robens Outback Tarp 4 x 4 m good for using with a tent?


The Robens Outback Tarp 4 x 4 m works well alongside a tent or as a standalone shelter. The 4 x 4 m footprint offers 16 sq m of coverage, and the reinforced guying points keep it stable in breezy conditions. It weighs 5.7 kg and packs to 54 x 18 cm, sold without poles.

The curved sides give it a clean shape when pitched with Robens telescopic poles (sold separately), and the reinforced guying points mean it stays put in a breeze rather than flapping around. Reflective guylines make it easy to spot at dusk so nobody trips over them, which is a small but appreciated detail on a busy campsite. The strong webbing loop hangers give you fixing points to hang a lantern or a bit of kit, keeping things organised underneath.

Beyond the campsite, this tarp does useful work in the garden, over a picnic area, or as cover for a barbecue setup. The polycotton fabric resists condensation better than pure polyester shelters, so you don't get the dripping underside effect on cool mornings. It packs down to 54 x 18 cm with the carry bag included, which fits easily into a car boot or the base of a large rucksack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Robens Outback Tarp 4 x 4 m come with poles?
No, the Robens Outback Tarp 4 x 4 m is sold without poles. It is compatible with Robens telescopic tarp poles and Robens clip poles, as well as standard king poles from other brands. Purchasing poles separately gives you flexibility to choose a height and configuration that suits your campsite layout.
What is HydroTex Polycotton and why does it matter for a tarp?
HydroTex Polycotton is Robens' own fabric blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. The cotton content makes it more breathable than pure synthetic fabrics, which reduces condensation on the underside of the tarp during cool mornings. The polyester component adds durability and resistance to stretching when wet. This combination is well-suited to a large shelter where breathability and long-term weather resistance are both important.
How big is the Robens Outback Tarp when pitched?
The Robens Outback Tarp measures 4 x 4 m when pitched, giving 16 square metres of coverage. This is large enough to shelter a seating area, a cooking space, or to extend an existing tent footprint. The curved sides add shape to the pitch when poles are used correctly.
What do the reflective guylines on the Robens Outback Tarp do?
The reflective guylines on the Robens Outback Tarp 4 x 4 m are visible in low light conditions. When a torch or lantern is nearby, the lines reflect light back, making them far less likely to be walked into at dusk or during a night visit to the campsite. This is a practical safety feature on a large tarp with multiple anchor points.
Can the Robens Outback Tarp 4 x 4 m be used outside of camping?
Yes. The 4 x 4 m size and polycotton construction make it a practical choice for garden use, picnics, and barbecue cover as well as camping. The reinforced guying points and webbing loop hangers make it straightforward to rig over a seating or dining area wherever you need temporary overhead cover.
How much does the Robens Outback Tarp 4 x 4 m weigh and how does it pack down?
The Robens Outback Tarp 4 x 4 m weighs 5.7 kg and packs to 54 x 18 cm in its carry bag. The weight reflects the polycotton fabric, which is heavier than synthetic-only tarps of the same size. This makes it most practical for car camping, family campsite use, or garden storage rather than backpacking.
