Tie-outs

There is an additional tie-out on the ridge about 14" in from the narrow end (18" on the 10' tarp) to allow the option to pitch with an improvised rear beak. To make the beak, move the guyline from the rear apex to the shock cord loop on the ridge tie-out using the included . Stake out the rear corners so the rear edge is pulled taut between the corners.
