I've got an overnighter in 2 weeks with my 8 year old, and she has been dying to sleep in her hammock. I am not at a point where I am confident in my diy skills to make a tarp on that time line, so I have concluded that I should just hit up the harbor-freight for a cheapo. Probability of getting some showers is there, but unlikely for any serious rain. This will not be used for backpacking or any other ounce shaving activities I'd love to be able to use it in the future, are there any steps I can/should take to help keep it from going full-cheap-tarp mode (I've had more of my share of grommets tear out) I had planned on duct-taping around the grommets to provide them some support for guy lines and such I know using 550 cord or the equivalent is a bad idea, I'll take pointers there (I'm not opposed to spending the $ to do that right) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
