I enjoyed all the great ideas from my first thread, thank you all. I feel that the best solution is to have the pockets at the guy line points to stow the lines but I don't have a sewing machine and needed another idea. Redmarbleshoe had posted that he used kite handles. For me that would be too big and too much weight but I liked the idea and here is what I ended up with.
I've been home from work for about 30 minutes. I came home and made this, shot the pictures and posted in under 45 minutes. These are easy to make. I have 8 guy lines and 2 ridge lines so I'd need 10 of these. I can't imagine how 10 could weigh an ounce. They are feather light.
I have my lines tied with taunt line hitches but if I were installing these with a new tart, I'd drill a hole instead of the J slot and run my lines through them and allow them to stay fixed on my tarp. I just didn't want to have to untie and re-tie all my lines.
I call it the GUMBY
