I'd qualify more as a cheapskate than a gram weenie, but here are a couple things I've tried.
Scünci hair ties with mason line are light, though weak:
You can also do this with cross sections of bicycle inner tube, Also works with the plumber's O-rings that fin came up with. Both tend to be stiff, with limited stretch, and tend to recover somewhat slowly once stretched.

Take a look at this thread: Cheap, easy tarp tensioner. Looks like Fin has yet another great idea. I've already purchased the parts. Now I just need to put it together.

The road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with weary feet, Until it joins some larger way, Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.
