Decided to put a single pole mod, i did not like the way the wind pushed the tarp in, made me feel a bit claustrophobic so hopefully this will allow the tarp to keep its shape a bit. One side up, the other side pegged down. Have not had a chance to really see if it performs as intended yet. I did sew a small tie in at top/centre and re seam sealed it and it passed the sprinker test.
I borrowed an alum pole from my MSR mutha hubba tent, and stitched small pockets from wide grosgrain. Just collapsed one section of the pole in to make it fit the length so it is now a dual purpose pole. hope it helps with someone else starting out with diy.
