Material used for covering or constructing camp shelters, such as canvas, metal sheets, or other temporary roofing materials.
From 'camp' plus 'sheeting' (sheets of material used for covering). The '-ing' form describes both the material itself and the action of installing sheet coverings on structures.
Canvas 'campsheeting' was ingenious—it was waterproof, portable, reusable, and affordable, allowing workers to build thousands of temporary structures across wilderness and mining regions.
