T-Backs tarp was smaller and his doors may have been. He used Velcro to fasten the edges of the doors together.

I tie one end of mine to the tree using some paracord and a Niteize figure9 device. I then hang the other end on the hammock suspension line using the prussik knot/clip. The paracord end gets tied about 6" below the hammock treehugger.

I made up some of the paracord/elastic cord tarp tensioners found in a recent thread in the tarp section, but have not yet tried them out.

I thought mine was huge also. But not big enough to set up in the wrong direction which allows the wind to blow in with rain attached to it.

What is the best way to set this up in the rain? And what about the rain running down the string to the hammock?

Someone was looking for pics of the tarp check out my gallery. Hennessey did come up with some brilliance with the tie out storage area in the corners of the tarp. You can figure 8 the strings then stuff them in the little pocket sewn into the corner of the tie out. BRILLIANT!!
