Our Noah's 12 has been on several trips with us now. We did have some rain blow in under the edge, but that was because I had pitched the tarp too high for the conditions, not a fault of the tarp. It has serviced us well thus far.

Will see if i can get pic's this weekend. My wife and I use the DD hammock 4x4 (roughly 13 by 13 feet) it HUGE and heavy.....but i have not had to many issues hanging two under it. Plenty of tie outs. But for the price on amazon, thinking i'm going to order one just to have another.
if you look at this video at around 11:13 you will see just how big and how many tie outs this thing has.....

When the wife asks, I simply say "Shug made me do it".
Here's my KNT12 in winter mode:

I use a small continuous loop of shock cord attached to the tie outs, then attach line loc 3 to the shock cord, and for guy lines i use the lawson glow line. Works pretty well for keeping it pitched tight.
Well I received my KNT 12 today and quick set it up in the back yard. I seriously think i'm going to need a training course on how to pitch it tight. there seems for me to be a learning curve on the cat cut. Any pointers?

I'm settled on my ridge line but my guy-outs are a work in progress.
For my ridge line I use a modified Derek Hansen setup, with a soft shackle attached to one end of the KNT12 (A frame style, usually) and I have a Dutch Fleaz spliced on a continuous loop and larksheaded to the opposite end. My ridge line itself is about 40' of lash-it. Once my tarp is centered I lock it down using the Fleaz and forget it.
For the guy-out points, I use the tarp in a "hex with doors" configuration. I was using Fleaz there too, but since have just gone with larksheading cordage with a loop on one end to the guy-out points, and then MSHing the lines to a stake, or preferable tying off to available shrubbery or rocks. I can then shut the doors (as much as possible on the head end) if need be and leave them tied together open on the outside if not needed.
My wife and I both sleep under our KNT12 and so far it's worked great.
If we were base-camping I'd utilize the pullouts as well. It's already a huge tarp and using them really opens it up. I have a set of poles from an old t*%t I had that work well, or you could just guy those out too.
Let me know if that didn't make sense or if you have questions. I could string it up and take some pictures if you need me to.
