Can anyone that has experience with these tell me the reliability of these cords?
It looks like they will keep the tarp taut as the fabric stretches, but how would you gauge the initial setting?
Thanks :O)

I just pulled them medium tight and that was enough to keep the tarp tight all night, even when it rained on the tarp. They also stayed stretchy down to -2F without breaking.
