DIY Bungee Tarp Tensioner
I was salvaging parts from an old tent and it had some bungees on the rain fly. So I pulled them and finally added them to my tarp setup. This works great. I've never had any trouble with my tarp, even in high winds and 4 good storms over the last 5 or 6 years using this very same tarp. But this might extend the lifetime of the tarp another 6 years. I set it up in the yard and it was great. Can't wait to get it in the field and see how it does.
