Is there a way to create more slack in the tension strap that runs under the tent? I found a buckle on one side and loosened it up as far as it goes. I still feel like I should be able to spread the pole farther out. Currently (as seen below) the tarp doesn't extend far enough to provide much in the way of rain coverage on the ends.
Any suggestions?

There seams to be something not right with your setup, but I can't put my finger on it. You should send the photo to Henry and see if he thinks there is something wrong with the length of the bottom strap, of if there is something else going on. What is the squence you use when pitching the tent? Corners first, then pole, or pole first and then corners?
I've been staking two corners on one side, feeding the pole through, then staking out the other side, then adjusting.
I emailed Henry along with that picture and he's asked me to measure the strap for him. I'll do that when I get home.
If anyone's interested I'll post the results in case it might be helpful in the future for others.
Looks to me that the bottom strap is about 4" too short. Are you sure that it was nice and flat underneath ? (no knots…)
BTW, it is easier if you feed the pole through first, pointing the pole downwards so that it slides easily under the cross strut.
