Thank you that's make sense to me wink

BTW I ordered some samples from Ripstop By The Roll ... I am curious to have these fabrics in hands.

Also this is interesting ... Venom UHMWPE Ultralight Webbing ... ultra light and super strong.
But also awfully expensive frown

Do you or somebody else have experience with it?

When you attach your guylines, include a small length of elastic (i.e. shockcord), maybe 5-10 inches. They will protect the tarp against shock loads (gusts of wind, tripping over the lines, etc.).
