Wanted: cheap large
camping Tarp -
I am talking about a "tarp" (not a tent)
Size of the "tarp" about 10m x 8m in two colors.
One side is reflective: "silver" or "aluminium" color.
The other side is "green" or "dark" color.
With enough grommets on the side of the "tarp" to attach the picket's ropes
and
enough grommets in the center of the "tarp"(sides) to pass the head of the
camping poles.
The tarp on this Website looks good
http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/canvas-tarp-waterproof-24ft-20ft/
but this is too small, wrong colors and the material is not reflective enough for the Far North Queensland (FNQ) sun.
This "tarp" like my previous "tarps" will be used in FNQ under the sun, torrential rain, windy conditions.
In sunny condition the sides are up.
In torrential rain or windy condition I put one side of the "tarp" down.
I am talking about a "cheap" "tarp" ( not a tent)
Any cheap sellers -manufacturers- contacts - ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Blue,
Try this mob
Toowoomba Shade and Canvas
I have a swag made by them and have had no problems. They also make Cotton Module tarps which have a very hard life.
Cheers Kev

Try castle tarpaulins at the following link. They make custom tarps.
http://www.castletarpaulins.com.au/
They make to any size or strength. I have just had a 8m x 2.1m tarp with eyelets all put in my preferred positions (24 in total). I am using this tarp for a shade/verandah off the back of my CT. Total cost delivered to SA was $165 made from Canvacon. I'm very happy with quality and accuracy of measurements in regard to eyelet positions. I supplied them with a drawing which I emailed to them.
