Rigging

An optional rigging kit is available for those who wish to set up their tarp per our recommendations.

The kit comes with the following items:

• 30 ft of 1.8mm UHMWPE core guyline with reflective tracer
• 7 x 10mm Tensionlock guyline tensioners
• 1 x Fastline clip
• 2 x Guyline Grommets

Installation:

1. Cut your guylines to the lengths shown below.
• Front corners: 40" x 2
• Rear corners: 30" x 2
• Front apex: 96" x 1
• Rear apex: 80" x 1
• Midpoints: 20" x 2
2. Install the tensioners using a girth hitch (see images below). Install at all perimeter tie-outs except the rear apex
3. Clip the fastline clip to the rear apex.
4. Install guylines into the tensioners:
   
   • Tie a loop in one end of each guyline. We prefer to use a bowline knot.
   • Thread the guylines through the tensioners as shown in the photos below. For the two guylines that attach to the ridgeline, slip a grommet onto the guyline prior to threading it through the tensioner.
   • Tie a knot in the untied end of each guyline. We use a simple overhand knot.
