Tyvek ground cloth

[Asutcliffe]

Where does everyone get their tyvek for ground cloths? I have only been able to find large rolls for $100+. I'm only needing 2 pieces large enough to put sleeping pads on.

Buy a roll and cut to size. Replace them as needed. Easy and way cheaper than buying tarps.

Ebay. Many different sellers that sell it by the foot.

Swing by a job site and ask the framing/siding guys on site for any waste. Or ask the folks at your local hardware store about any partials left. Wash and dry it in the laundry before you use it to eliminate some of the crinkling.

Keep your eye on new builds, as soon as you see the tyvek go up, go take a walk around the job site and ask for any scraps. I did that a guy gave me about 40 ft or so that was still on a roll.

Six moon designs sells tyvek sheets cut to 2 different sizes for backpacking use

It's a good easy option that I went with.

If you use Tyvek, run it through the washer a couple of times and wrinkle it up. It will be more flexible and quiet.

Amazon. Lots of options cheap. Grommets installed and everything.

Do you use the grommets much? Maybe I’m just not so creative, what would you use them for? Just to tie down for draft pushing it around?

I’ve ditched the Tyvek and have moved to Polycro(the clear plastic window insulation heat shrink stuff) as it’s way lighter, less bulky, clear so you can see rocks underneath it when using as a footprint , surprisingly durable, readily available, easily cuts to whatever shape, and super cheap.

I stake it down inside my shelter to keep it from sliding around under me.

That makes sense.

Fwiw, the Tyvek will let moisture through if you put it over very wet ground

Bought mine from Ebay also

Has anyone had an air pad get punctured through a piece of Tyvek? I am trying to decide if Tyvek will do, or if I need to bring a foam pad.
