I have the Quecha tarp and the Obelink and they both do the job. It's not the same as an enclosed tent - it's just a flat sheet creating shade, so there's no noticeable difference in cooling ability, IMO!

I use the Quecha more because it is smaller and lighter, but the Obelink looks better with my canvas tents!

As an attendee of Glastonbury festival last week where the temperatures were ridiculously high I managed to stay in bed until about 9.00ish which is when I started to cook!

I pegged a survival sheet to the outside of my tent to deflect some of the heat.  Not the most attractive of things and can be quite noisy if there is a brezze but definately helps.  I don't go camping without a couple of them!

That's a great idea valk-scot about the ground sheet.  I know that you prefer grass underfoot,  I shall do the same, this time.  Also it will save time setting up.  I will just put a tarp under bedroom pod for protection, and thats it.  Hopefully it will let some grass recover at the same time.
