I used a regular rectangular tarp last summer with good successs.  I had
two polls, several ropes, and pitched it in one of several ways
depending on the conditions.  It was OK in wind, but not great.  

See: http://www.tumtum.com/gallery/images/hakai/hra_134_BlairMyCamp1.jpg
for one configuration.  

I liked the flexibility of the general - rectangular tarp but hope to
improve over what I used last summer.  Depending on where I go I may
want to make it also serve as bug protection by attaching netting to the
parimiter.  I'm still looking for the right solution.

If you want to sew your own you can get any fabrics you need from
