tarp shelter
Camper's rain protection
A tarp shelter is a makeshift covering rigged from a tarpaulin, typically using ropes, poles, or trees for support.
Campers and survivalists use tarp shelters as lightweight alternatives to tents: We strung up a tarp shelter between two pines.
The term also describes improvised housing for homeless encampments.
