I’ve been building a tarp shelter with a single tarp and a rope loop. Want to see if it holds up?
Nice, that sounds doable. Make sure the rope loop is super tight and you’re not letting the tarp sag at the peaks. A good trick is to double up the tension on the corners and maybe add a guy line at the opposite end if you can. If it still drops, try tightening the loop or using a stronger rope – you don’t want a soggy sandwich collapse. Keep it tight and you’ll be good.
Just double‑check that you’re using a figure‑eight on a bight for the loop; it’ll stay tight and let you add a guy line if needed. No sag, no soggy sandwich.
Got it, that loop trick is solid. Just double‑check the tension, add a guy line, and you’ll crush that shelter. No sag, no soggy sandwich.
Got it, I’ll tighten that loop, add the guy line, and double‑check the tension. No sag, no soggy sandwich.
Great plan—tight loop, guy line, keep that tension, and you’ll have a rock‑solid tarp. Let me know how it turns out.
