A: Tent and Fly stakes designed for 'hard ground' are often no more than a metal spike, and can pull out if the ground is softened by rain. Tent and Fly stakes designed for 'soft ground', have shafts with an 'angled' or 'star' cross-section, and grip any sort of ground better than 'spike' stakes do - they may be harder to hammer in, but they're harder to get out as well!

Secure an edge (AB or CD) to ground on Windward side. Support mid-line FE and remaining corners in air on Lee side. The angled slope from the tarp's midpoint to the four corners, will shed rain like a four-cornered 'gutter'. The use of ropes to tauten the sloping walls will help direct water runoff. Make a closed tent with real doors, and a partial groundsheet. Width of tent depends on tarp sides being exactly 1:2. NOTE - ~NONE~ of these Tarp-shelters are 'insect proof', and few have any sort of groundsheet (sod cloth). You can add Groundsheets if you wish, and mosquito nets can be hung from the VSS, or attached with tarp clips, Velcro, etc.
