Also, my tarp doesn't have quite the dramatic cat-cut edges. Mine are much more square (not entirely, but much more than what you've drawn). Mine is a brand-new tarp so my guess is that I have a different model.
This is clear in my photos because you can see how easily the tarp folds into itself. Had my tarp had the dramatic cat-cuts on the edges, it wouldn't seal up.
More to come once I get home tonight!
