▼ 🧰 What Does This Do?

Pushes tarp walls outward from the inside to increase headroom, improve airflow, and reduce sag and flapping. Delivers a roomier, quieter shelter with better wind and rain performance.

▼ 🔧 How Is This Typically Used?

Install the internal poles beneath your tarp and tension them using the pre-cut shock cord system attached to your ridgeline ends. Adjust once, then switch easily between storm and porch modes without re-staking.

▼ ✅ Compatibility

Optimized for hammock tarps up to 10 ft wide. Wider tarps may reduce effectiveness due to pole angle and shock cord reach.

▼ 📐 Sizing, Options & Materials

Includes two 129" internal tarp poles · Pre-cut shock cord tension system · Internal mounting design · Total weight ~1 lb · Reduces external lines and tripping hazards · Packs compact with most tarp systems.

Maximize Interior Space—Without External Poles

Upgrade your shelter with the WideArc Internal Tarp Pole Mod Kit, a compact, lightweight system designed to dramatically increase usable space under your tarp—without the hassle of external pole mods.

Each 129-inch internal pole spans a wide arc across your tarp, pushing the walls outward from the inside where space actually matters. The result is more headroom, better airflow, and a cleaner campsite with fewer lines to manage.

Built for Real-World Camping

Unlike external pole mods that rely on additional pull-outs and staking, the WideArc makes it easy to adapt your setup as conditions change. Lock things down in storm mode, then quickly open everything up into porch mode when the weather clears—without tearing down your shelter.

The internal design also improves wind performance by reducing fabric sag and minimizing flapping, helping your tarp stay quieter and more stable in rough conditions.

Material: Lightweight internal pole set with pre-attached shock cords
Pole Length: 129 inches each
Total Weight: 1 lb
Mounting Style: Internal setup with ridgeline shock cord attachment
Packs Down: Compact enough to store with most tarp systems
Compatibility: Optimized for tarps up to 10 ft wide. Wider tarps may reduce effectiveness due to pole angle and cord reach.

🏕 Perfect For:

Hammock campers who want more usable interior space
Campers tired of managing external poles and extra guy lines
Backpackers looking for lightweight structure without bulk
Anyone upgrading from basic side pull-outs or external pole mods

The WideArc Internal Tarp Pole Mod Kit transforms your tarp into a roomier, more adaptable shelter—ready for storms, sunshine, and everything in between.

TEMPERATURE
High and low temperatures can influence rope performance in a variety
of ways. Ambient temperature conditions should be well understood
and within the limits outlined in Table 2. Generally speaking, extremely
cold temperatures commonly will not have a negative impact on rope
performance. However, moisture and subsequent freezing will impact a
rope’s handling and flexibility, but with no known negative long-term impact
on rope life. High temperatures can reduce a rope’s strength and fatigue
resistance. If temperatures exceed the limits shown in Table 2, special care
should be taken to ensure the product is fit-for-purpose.

The pole mod kit is best used with 10ft wide tarps, especially ones with full doors on the ends. I tried the pole mod kit with four tarps: 3 from Warbonnet (Superfly, Mountainfly, and Thunderfly) and 1 from Hammockgear (Journey).

I encountered a few issues with keep the poles in place on the Mountainfly & Thunderfly tarps. I added my own piece of shockcord with loops at both ends to slip over both poles and keep them in tension towards the center of the tarp. This kept them from rolling downwards or towards the ends of the tarps. This is an extra piece of cordage that should be considered being included with future kits to keep the poles in place on 3rd party tarps, to create tension in both directions along the ridgeline.

The tarp connectors worked well with the kit. I discovered the Hammockgear tarp shared the same beastie D ring sizing as the tarp connectors which came with the kit.

For the price, it's a good mod to open up a tarp for the following use cases: using with bridge hammocks, using on Yobogear hammock stands, using above net tents for maximum area out of the sun/rain, and to open things up for better air circulation in warmer seasons.

It's good for using with car camping setups and walk-in campgrounds. Some gram weenies may balk at the 1 pound weight of the kit, but they can just use their trekking poles if weight is an issue like for long distance thru hiking. Otherwise, it's not really an issue for most people unless you're backpacking in a few miles with the extra weight.

Overall, I like it. It has a few setup quirks but there's ways to correct that as noted above.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful review, Michael—I really appreciate it. You clearly put the WideArc through its paces, and your feedback on using it with different third-party tarps is genuinely helpful.

Great callout on the additional shock cord to keep tension toward the center on narrower or partial-panel tarps—that’s solid insight and something I’ve been actively thinking about for future iterations. I’m glad to hear the connectors worked well with the Beastie D-rings and that the kit opened things up nicely for bridge hammocks, stands, and warm-weather airflow.

Thanks again for the honest feedback and for sharing real-world use cases. It’s reviews like this that help improve the gear and help other campers decide if it’s the right fit for their setup. Happy hanging! 🙌

Bought the mod kit when I purchased my ultimate hammock bundle. I love how easy it is to install the poles and how much access it gives to the hammock. The setup is an absolute must and adds very little room/weight to my bundle for hiking.

Thanks, Bubba! Glad to hear the WideArc Mod Kit is pulling its weight (without adding much to it 😄). That easy setup and added access is exactly what we were going for — super happy it’s working well with your ultimate bundle. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and hope you get plenty of trail miles out of your setup!

Had been thinking about something like this for years. Picked up another vendors UL tent poles for "porch mode" which worked but wasn't what I was trying for. These have been perfect. Work like a champ and do the job well. They also allow me to run my tie outs straight down to minimize tripping hazards. My secondary use case is to pitch my tarp on the ground if I don't have trees (GASP) and I THINK they will do well for that as well, just haven't tested yet.

Thanks so much, Chad! Glad to hear the WideArc kit is hitting the mark for you—sounds like you’ve really put it to great use. We’re especially stoked to hear it's working for both porch mode and reducing trip hazards (huge win!). Definitely let us know how it performs in that no-trees ground pitch setup—we’d love to hear how it goes. Appreciate you taking the time to leave such a detailed review!

Great Mod! Finally got to use it for the first time last weekend and it took the already spacious Hideaway Tarp and made it massive! So much room and super easy to set up and use.

I bought these at the PSH Fawl Sprawl and they will change your life! They provide a ton of extra room under my winter tarp, they are simple to set up and the guys at Hanging High Hammocks are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great outdoor experience.
