Title: Re: Shock cord support for tarp

Good ideas.
I might suggest you also strive try to rig your tarp so that the side facing the prevailing wind is lower than the side opposite. In a big blow the air needs a place to "spill" out of or even the best stakes/bungees/stitching in a strong enough wind will take a beating.
