Paracord 550 is, in my opinion, too bulky for this application, but Paracord 275 is a good fit. Lightweight and not nearly as bulky. And a bit of springiness is not such a bad thing, as it tends to add an extra bit of protection to the tarp. Like 550, 275 does soak up a bit of water, but, since it is small in diameter, it dries very quickly. I think it is a good, less expensive alternative to Zing-It.
