I have some choices for attaching external poles, over the ridge line to the panal pulls on various tarps - SuperFly, Universal, Old Man Winter, etc. From some used gear I’ve purchased, I’ve seen small dogbones made of LashIt. I imagine light bungee cord would work. I think there was a post were someone made a mini-whoopie sling so the tension was adjustable.
What has or hasn’t worked for you and about how long is the line from the panel pull out to the pole?
I imagine just a loop of light cord would work - hitch around the panel pull nylon and a double twist around the pole end. Because the pole itself is flexible, bungee might be redundant. Or it might have enough extra tug to keep things together in a storm?
If the line btween tarp and pole is too short, the tarp has a flat top that can become a swimming pool in the rain. But if it’s too long, it doesn’t do it’s “widening the interior space” job. What has worked best for you?
