Thanks for the review. Looks interesting. Still not quite seeing how the tarp would work with it. I assume it just sits right on the hammock ridgeline? I know some hammock stands have worked on extenders to lift the tarp up a bit, but don't see that on this one.

I just pull my tarp ridgeline to the ends of the Tensa4. My lines go right over the apex crosses. They are 11' tarps.

Exactly, the tarp ridgeline just lays on top of the apexes (apices?). I think an 11ft tarp is perfect for this stand. I have a 12ft DIY winter tarp, and I just gather the ends and lay on top of the apices. I have a continuous ridgeline on the tarp that I just connect to the orange screws on either end.
