    diy 12 winter tarp, door problem?

    I followed these directions.

    https://diygearsupply.com/diy-guides/tarps/

    I didn't cat cut it so I can use it full rectangle. Not a lot of sag. One end has a sloppy door crease. I'm not sure why it doesn't fold back the way the other three do. There is a lot of slack between the tie out and the ridge line. You can see it does great tied out at the corners. The other 3 doors are fine.

    140 Views and no comments. Maybe I didn't explain my question very well? Maybe none of you know?

    I did try,

    relocating the stakes

    tightening the guy lines.

    pulling the whole tarp more parallel to the ridgeline.

    I believe maybe the one d ring is off a little. It measures the same as the others though.

    Am I just nitpicking this problem?

    That first post, second picture shows the slack in the tarp I'm asking about.

    It looks like maybe a corner stake out is not in the best location to pull tight. I would set it up again and take my fingers and start at the pull out and pull on the tarps edge and away from center until the door looks taught. Then that would be the spot I would add a D ring.

    Measure the tie out location on the problem corner and see if it matches the others, looks like, looks like a trigonometry problem on that triangle you're trying to make with that corner.
