HISTORY · CONTEXT

Tarp Lean To Shelter

A simple lean-to - blue or grey poly tarp stretched between an overpass column and a salvaged pole, weighted with rocks. The most common improvised shelter on every refugee site since the 1990s. Period: near-future apocalypse.

Poly tarps - construction-grade, UNHCR-issue, or whatever was at hand - are the universal cover of contemporary displacement. The lean-to layout is the simplest stable form: tied at one end, weighted along the ground edge.

Painting tips

  • Tarp: faded blue (the iconic poly tarp), or muted UNHCR-blue.
  • Tie-downs: pale tan paracord.
  • Weight rocks: dirty grey with sepia wash.
  • Mud splash at the base contact.
