Terribly vague question, sorry. I am going out this weekend for a canoe/camping multi day trip. Weather is supposed to be pretty rainy so I want to set up a tarp. Will a cheap hardware store type tarp be waterproof enough for a space to hang out under? Thanks!

If you make the move to buying a silnylon tarp, check out http://www.bearpawwd.com/tents_tarps/tarps.html
I have the 6.5'x10' flat tarp, $100. I've only experienced light rain in it, but I found the coverage to be ample. I had it setup as an A-frame.
Just started to use the SMD Deschutes cuben fiber tarp with the inner net. Tried it out this past Saturday nite on a section hike. So far so good.
Really enjoying my JRB 11′ x 10′ Tarp...love the coverage. http://www.jacksrbetter.com/shop/jrb-11-x-10-tarp/
I think the best tarps on the market are by Underground Quilts (UGQ) http://www.undergroundquilts.com/shop/default.html
They specialize in tarps for hammocks but don't let the menu choices fool you. They will make a custom tarp to your specs.
Their quality is second to none in the cottage industry. They also have a wider choice of color options than anyone else in the business.
Also check their vendor forum at https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...door-Equipment
And in particular check this thread: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...2015-TARP-LINE

Not to hijack the subject but has anyone had experience with a 7x9 tarp for 2 people? Two small for a couple or ok?
I have. I pitched low with the opposite being lower. It works if you are really close to your partner (think spoons close or sharing a bag). It is hard to get in and out. You will need to slide into your bag and under the tarp at the same time.
Haha, that sounds a little uncomfortable. Can anyone recommend a good size for two?
For two people I wouldn't go less than 8 X 10'
I have a Warbonnet MamaJamba that I use for a shelter if I am in the tarp or on the ground.
