Talking about the basic _A frame formation_, where there is a higher up ridgeline going through the middle of a rectangular tarp (non-diagonally) e.g. from tree to tree, and the two sides are pegged lower down to the ground. I.e. the classic tent shape.- There are three ways to connect the tarp to the ridgeline cord(s) coming from the trees:
- 1. **Under the tarp**: Continuous cord from tree to tree, on which the tarp simply rests.
- 2. **Over the tarp**: Continuous cord from tree to tree, which goes through the attachment loops on the tarp's topside. (Requires a tarp with topside loops)
- 3. **From the edges**: Two separate cords from the trees terminating at the attachment loops on the tarp's middle edges.
- **What are the pros and cons of these attachment methods?**

Tarp ridgeline attachment: over, under or from the edges?
