Hi all,
I'm not an expert with tarps, but the ones I have seem as though the end loops are considerably longer than the middle ones.
What I sometimes do if I cant find suitable trees, is to saw/cut poles to length, (with a Y shape at the top), insert one in either end of the tarp loops, pull to a reasonable tightness and then hammer the poles into the ground.
For a bit more rigidity I often place a crossmember through the three middle loops on the pole. This rests on the "Y" of each upright.
Unfortunately I havent got any pics. But this setup obviates the need for a bag full of bungees and ropes. You just need a few to peg out the respective corners.
Comeon Bam, lets see some arguing!
