If this is a repeat, I'm sorry but what kind of knot do you use to tie guy lines on to the tarp? And how long should each guy line be?

I use 5ft on my main ones and 3ft on the doors.
Any special knot to attach guy lines to the tarp?
I use a bowline to tie to the tarp, then adjustable knots to allow me to tighten them
Oh but a better way i should have said is do a larger bowline or any fixed loop off the tarp the larks foot that to the tarp which gives you greater flexibility to move them around.
I'm knot illiterate.......but trying to learn
I just tie an overhand knot loop on the ends of my tarp lines then larks head them onto the tarp pull outs. I use slippery taut-line hitches for adjustability for the stake end of the lines.
I know the taut line hitch but not the others, I will have to study.
