Warning: a $9 tarp from the hardware store beat my $60 camping tarp in one windy night at Priest Lake
I camped at Priest Lake in Idaho two weekends back and a gust ripped the grommets clean out of my fancy tarp around 2am. I ended up lashing a cheap blue hardware store tarp over the tent with paracord and it held through 30 mph winds until morning. The expensive one has maybe 6 nights on it and it's already trash. Now I want to know if I just got a bad one or if this is normal. What tarps are you all actually using that survive real wind?

Did you check if the grommets were just punched through without any reinforcement underneath?
