grommet or something else

What to use for attaching my guy lines to my tyvek tarp duck tape with grommets or is there something better to use

[Rolloff]

Yes. Don't use grommets. They rust, pull out and weight more than needed.

Wrap each corner and tie out point around a small rock, coin, or washer, clove hitch the tie out cordage around material and rock, and you've got it.

Holds securely, minimal wear. No additional hardware to carry or install.

You can also use Mule tape, or webbing, to form loops. Just attach to corners with Tyvek tape.

What to use for attaching my guy lines to my tyvek tarp...?

Could you take a short (12"?) piece of Tyvek tape, fold the center portion in half (length-wise) so it sticks to itself, and stick the two ends to the tarp? You will have a Tyvek loop to attach your guy line to, instead of a grommet.

I've done this many times with grosgrain fabric tape, when sewing a project.

My Tyvek tarp did just that, used tyvek tape to seduce d rings to the tarp. Bulletproof.

Thanks for all the help

It works for the stake tie outs but I've had multiple fails doing this for the ridge line. Even when doing 3 strips, one straight and two going off on angles. Plus a cross piece going over the top of them ad the tarp. Too much tension + mild winds = fail

The old marble/pebble trick works just fine though.
