Hi Bobby
I have not seen the need to modify the XP10 thus far, but if you want to create some extra attachment points on your tarp, without destroying it, you might want to check out these clips:

I think you might use these clips also as points to hang your mosquito-net.
I use a triangular mosquito net which I hang on a ridgeline (a separate length of cordage).
Hope this helps, greetings

Hey Ruud,
Thanks for sharing the link to the Clingon mini. Looks like they come in various sizes.
Wonder if you’ve(or anyone else) had experience of using these Clipon/Clingon removable eyelets in your set-ups? Are these capable of withstanding a prolonged buffeting by the elements?
Also note that the instructional pics. and videos I’ve seen on t’internet show them being used on the edges of tarps. I’d be a bit wary of clipping these to the centre/middle of the tarp unless I could be sure they wouldn’t stress the tarp fabric excessively, by creating a weak point and compromising the tarp’s weatherproofing.
I do use ridge-lines, but i’d like to explore alternative tarp-tent set-ups especially for more exposed locations where limbs, trees, tarp or trekking poles etc. aren’t at hand.
I do like the number of central and edge attachment points, eyelets, male/female press-studs of the DD 3x3 Pro tarp. Although I’d need greater coverage.
Much obliged.
Bobby
