That's not always possible. I know as someone that has an interest in tarps for long term setups that I can't frame up a nice shade pergola every where I long term camp. I personally started looking into tarps that would last longer than the expensive camping one that get talked about on here after finding out that they excel at being light weight, but not long lasting when used daily.
Also the reason I've gone back to my nice cotton Brazilian hammock for daily use and keep my light weight one for backpacking, bikepacking, or kayaking.
