Follow-up question: For weight-reduction purposes, I assume you're not running shock cord all the way out to the stakes. I think there's a length of shock cord sheet bended to a length of regular tarp line.
Is there a consensus of what length of shock cord is needed? I was speculating that 2-3 feet would be adequate.

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.

Our good buddy Hawkeye did a nice video of one way to go them that I think looks interesting---he says about 18 inches.

The shock cords I installed on tarp from MountainFitter were about 4 feet long, and I take them all the way to the stakes. No other cord on the tarp right now but the shock cords. Worked fantastically in the rain two nights!
