    Trying to piece together tension system from a used tarp.

    Hello,

    As title says I bought a used tarp. Person that sold it to me seems to know what he was doing so I'd like to learn from his system.


    1. All his guy lines have a loop at one end and then they are connected to the tarp through this type of knot (forgot the name). When I put the loop around a stake and pull the tarp tight there is some friction here but not enough to keep the line tight. Maybe he had a piece oof hardware attached? Any thoughts on this?

    2. The panel pulls in the middle of the tarp have shock cord and then a prussik knot. How are these used?

    Update: got in touch with the seller by going through my paypal history.

    1. shock cord is for putting trekking poles above ridgeline.
    2. The seller said that there was enough tension in the grey knot on the continuous loop.

    Is there a way to close a thread when it's been resolved? Thanks for being a great community!
