High winds often wreak havoc on a tarp. Rigid tieouts have no give and can easily lead to grommets ripping out, sometimes at the worst moment like in heavy rain. So... I came up with bungee/paracord lines. Paracord hog ringed to bungee cord, prettied up a bit with some shrink tubing. A few links of chain at the pegged down end to act as a pulley to allow for length/tension adjustments. I use the doubles pictured here on the corners and a single line, front and center, to form a funnel for rain runoff. Add more singles as needed when the wind really kicks up. I came up with these after I almost lost a tarp and had to scramble to put bungees on all the lines. Video of that day at the bottom.
