    Not those, but similar. I think those would work a lot better than mine. Mine have a hard plastic button in the middle, not grippy like the Tato clips, so unless I put the button inside a cut balloon the clip slides on silnylon.

    terrain,

    A simple, cheap option is to find a small, smooth, rock, marble, pine cone, piece of driftwood, plastic bottle cap, a US. Nickel etc. etc. etc. Push the object from the underside of the tarp. Take a 4 footish section of cordage, tie a clove hitch on one end. Then you take the tag end of the cordage and stake it out or tie it off. Done. Another huge plus for this method, is you can easily move the tie out point, to any place on the tarp. AND you can add as many tie out points as you want.

    Ive done this multiple times. I have had no damage to the tarp as a result. Just make sure the object you use to create the tie off point, has no sharp/pointy edges.

    Have fun.

    Bob
