Best cordage for a canvas tarp?

[copper_head]

Just got a Bilmo 3x3m canvas tarp in a trade. Any thoughts on the best cordage to use?

I generally use 8mm Hempex (synthetic hemp, polypropylene) for the ridge, and similar in 3-4mm or paracord for guys.

I usually hook the tie-outs to the ridge with these rather than threading it through as I find it easier to set and strike that way. My guys usually have mini biners at one end for the same reason. YMMV.

Anything you can use to tie it to something and which doesn't break easily? I mean, it's not exactly rocket science

Ha thanks for the advice . Tbh I just don't want to use my normal orange dyneema on a nice canvas tarp, need something more fashionable. What's the point in doing anything if you don't look good doing it .

For a heavy material like canvas you'll need a tensioning system.check out tamerack outdoors for their dutchware equivalent
