Keeping tarps from flapping in the wind
Posted by: Ralph on Feb-17-10 10:07 PM (EST)

I find a good way to keep a tarp from flapping in wind is to tie the lines moderately tight, then hang fuel or water bottles, or any moderate weights, on the tarp corners where the line is tied to the tarp. The hanging weight buffers sudden movements from wind gusts. Also holds the corners down so water doesn't collect on the tarp.
