Tarped Up

The winter had been hard on our Patio Tarp. But really, it was already old and quite warn out. But, we would be wanting one before long. So The Fuzz stopped in at the local Cheap Surplus Tool Etc. Place, and grabbed a few cheap ones.It turned out that "Cheap" was certainly the correct description. They are about as heavy duty as toilet paper. But since we already had them, The Fuzz put them up anyway. He and His Sweetie put their heads together, and came up with this confusing arrangement of tarps and ropes. It was in part inspired by something seen on a visit to one of those Big Cities, the Home of a Famous University.
The theory being, that 3 smaller tarps would catch less wind. Thus, being less likely to be torn to shreds. Well, time will tell. The Fuzz figured that even if these flimsy things tear up, it will be a relatively simple matter to replace them with some similar sized ones of better quality.
