Bought a 9x150 foot roll of tyvek and am selling whats left at my cost, $1 per linear foot plus postage. This is half the price of other sources for pieces. These make good ground cloths for tents and sleeping bags and lightweight tarps.


A 9x9 piece would be $9, 10x9 = $10 etc.

Send me an email: lrheg@aol.com I am interested in about 15 feet. Thanks!


I trip to swing in a hammock, drag a line, smell the sweet air and view the beauty that surrounds me.

I would be interested in a 10 x 9 ft. piece. How do I contact you directly to order a piece?

Use for dining fly/rain tarp, ground cloth (innie & outie). I made a set of yoke pads with them too.

The 9' roll of tyvek is all gone. Actually sold more of it than I wanted to. I may get a 10' wide roll as I think it makes a better dining fly. If anyone is interested in the 10' wide tyvek, let me know and I will buy some if there is interest.

I also found out today I can ship a 9x20 piece for about $11 by priority US Mail.

Any body interested in smaller chunks say 5' x 5' or bigger or 3' x 7'. (door, window cut-outs, sizes are always dif) Just curious because as a construction worker I reluctantly throw that stuff away frequently. I feel that anything not sent to the dump and used again is a victory. (windows, doors being replaced, insulation that has been replaced.) Not a money issue either. just use it. Is there a use for pieces that size?

The only thing I have used smaller tyvek pieces for are portage pads.

I guess one could make gaiters out of them or a small daypack can be made from them. How abut stuff sacks? Note: tyvek is tuff, but easily punctured with sharp objects like sticks, rocks and knives.
