"Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. ... To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top. Here's where things grow." - Robert M. Pirsig

Where did you get those poles? This looks like a great thing to add to my extra wide winter tarp that I am making to do some side-by-side hanging with my niece.

This is where I found it and there are different diameters and aluminum and carbon. The link is to the .340 diameter aluminum which also have angle pieces too.

Another way to anchor a pole mod: The tips for the .340 poles fit snugly into the holes in the 1/2" Beasty Ds. Just add the Ds on the inside of your tie-out webbing.

144" is a good starting point, but it will depend on the actual finished width and where the Ds are located. You want it to fit snugly inside the tarp. I also incorporated a couple of strings into the ridgeline seam to secure the pole. With the pole in place and the doors closed it looks like a hanging dome tent. Pic # 4 shows this from the inside.
The cord is 3/32" marine dacron double braid line. I got it off ebay a while back, but I don't remember the seller. It's great utility cord. Lightweight, strong, UV resistant, untangles easily. I've had some outside in my hang spot for at least a couple of years now, and it's still strong and soft. It was pretty cheap too, about 40$ for 600'. Search the marine rope sellers.
