I agree, a good tarp can go a long ways.  Now if I can only convince my 
father that a tarp should be put up under tension.  He is from the old 
school that believes putting up a tarp under tension will ruin the 
tarp.  So every tarp he puts up sags big time.

I do have a question: What type of rope do you use?  And do you rely on 
some form of tensioner for the rope or just use a good knot (and if so 
which one)?

Currently I'm using this bulky yellow rope that floats.  Upside it 
floats, downside it's bulky.
