I've always used cord to tie the corners of my tarps to the stakes, but it seems a lot of YouTube videos show people using bungee lines for tie downs. One mentioned that the stretch in a bungee can prevent the tarp from ripping in high winds.
I always believed a taunt tarp was best in high winds, as there is less flapping, which I thought would make it less likely to tear. Now I don't what to believe.
So what's the consensus here? A flexible bungee type tie down or a static cord tie down?
