I bought the bargainous Eurohike tarp last week. But because it isn't square, I'm not sure how best to use it to provide shelter at the front of my tent - do I put it up like the picure, seperate from my tent, or can I have it in some way attached to form a canopy over my front door? I feel as though the answer is staring me in the face and I can't blooming see it!

From a quick look at it, I think it only has holes where the poles are shown in the picture. Tarp

If the eyelets on the tarp are the same distance apart as the poles on the tent then you could attach two eyelets over these with additional poles holding up the rest of the tarp, this is why we bought some additional poles to give us more flexibility with the tarp.

previous thread

if you click the link to the previuos thread it will take you to a thread about the chef annexe for the evolva, in that you will see a tarp similar to yours fitted to the front of a chef annexe

it is fitted with the front of the annexe used in place of the back pole, the fitted guys on the corner of the tarp are pegged close to the tent so the back of the tarp takes the shape of the tent, fit the pole at the front and peg as per instructions and you have a tarp extentsion 

my ebay eyelet kit was garbage, punched holes all around the actual fitting rather than just the hole, so the eyelets just fell out and left a big hole

Ended up getting a pack of the cheapo plastic ones you smash in with a hammer
