Looks complicated. I am planning on building and trying a tarp tent. I shopped yesterday, but decided cheapy blue tarps are two heavy. Ultralight high tec are too pricey. I amgoing to try useing clear poly visqueen. I found some sturdy self adhesive grommits at wall Mart clearence for my tie off and two pole points. Rather, than carry extra poles I plan to use my trecking poles. I will post a picture when its compleate.
