For the hole in the bottom sew in a panel of lighter and cheaper cloth to seal up the bug-free space and to install insulation if needed. If it was a stretchy material it would keep things taut. Guy out the diamond to the sides and even to the ground with shock cord, adjusting with toggles on the inside. One more guy line to the tarp ridge line half-way to the feet would be nice.
