I have experienced with the tarps being effected by uv.... as these tarps were set up permanently.... l guesstimate the duration 7 - 12 months noticing tiny pin size holes appearing randomly in places.
I have also tried a simple poly tarp due to the robust nature and longevity.... however in high wind and heavy rain they made sleeping difficult they amplify sounding rain and whip crack in high wind....
l now have been setting up with shade cloth covering my hammock tarps.
still recon l use my Asym tarp set up to be my go to.... a DutchWareGear large asym also as this provides extra coverage.... every now and then l require setting up a tarp with doors.
If the daytime is windy and with rain l will tie my hammock up, lifting it higher closer in the tarp via the tarp RL.
This is a SLD trail lair.... over the months l rotate setting up with other hammocks.
