So I picked up a tarp from Harbor Freight today and noticed there is no grommet in the center, only ones in corner and ones half way to the center. I was planning on setting it up in the standard rectangle position but I'm not how to go about attaching it to the fridge line. What would you guys recommend? Tarp clips? Thanks.
I had a walmart with no grommets in the middle. I just got a grommet set and installesd them myself
Grommets will pull out, I'd go with tarp grip clips.... nice and adjustable.
I'm liking the "baker hut" layout with a tarp: the side to the wind is down low, the other up higher for entry/egress.

I just got 2 harbor freight camo tarps, and due to suggestions around here, I picked up tarp grip clips, they've worked amazingly well, strong and they hold nicely. Had them up last night in some crazy gusts.
Thanks for the tips. I didn't really want to add more grommets, actually already had one pull out the first time I was setting up the tarp.
My Guide Gear tarp also came with lots of loops on the edges but none at the center positions. I added 4 grommets (backed up with extra material) and I use Sierra Designs tarp clips for center panel pulls. I suppose sewn loops spread the fabric stress over a larger area but I have not had a grommet pull out yet.
