I'm getting my first tarp with doors! I'm sure that this group has tried every conceivable arrangement for guying the doors both closed and open. So, if you have any photos (or links to videos) handy that show your method, please bring them on!

Whooooo Buddy)))) All Secure in Sector Seven
Here's one for you. On my doors, I have a piece of shock cord (which is nice for when my foot gets caught on it trying to get in), with a prusik on it that has a plastic hook. To close the doors, I hook the plastic hook to the tarps corner D-ring. Now if I want to open them, I can slide that hook up and down where I need it. Hope that's not too confusing.
no pics - but i like criss-crossing the door lines and wrapping them around the base of the support tree, clipping them together on the backside of said tree.
creates a good snowplow effect, with a sliver of door closure. no stakes needed, and works to extend the tarp length, making a little vestibule.

These are all great ideas folks! Thanks a lot and keep 'em coming.
I fully expected a dozen different variations. After all, it's our nature here at HF!!

Staked to the side
After entering the tarp for the night I bring one side of the door inside with me and it stays in place. The other stays attached to the stake outside.
