[QUOTE="stoyve, post: 426633, member: 2982"] A quick an effective way to set up a large tarp for shade or rain shelter. Take 1 x pole which extends to 2.0 metres or more. A tennis ball or door stop to sit on the top of the pole to prevent tearing your tarp. 4 x ratchet straps And rope. Lay the tarp on the ground and attatch a ratchet strap to each corner. Then connect the straps to a tree at each corner. You may need to tie some rope so as to reach some trees. I try to attatch the ratchet/rope about 2.0 metre's up the tree. Then tension your straps, place the pole with the tennis ball/door stop on top, under thecentre of the tarp and extend the pole. I usually have a rope around the pole and attatched to a couple of trees in case the wind gets up and the pole falls on your noggin. Yes its happened to me. By the time you have read this post, two people would have set up the tarp. Cheers Steve [/QUOTE]
