I prefer to use shock cord guys on my tarp as it keeps everything taut without over stretching the tarp material in the wind.
The only problem I find sometimes is that as the cord stretches in the wind, it presumably gets thinner and a prussik knot will then slip.
I usually get around this by tying off on the tarp loops but that is then less convenient for adjusting the tension.
These little things look interesting but has anyone tried them on shock cord?
