Simple and effective - thanks for showing. Since now (!!) I used to tie my cord into the grommet and add the pole with a clove-hitch. Your way is better, but you have to make sure, that the loop is either very small or quite large, else the knot will interfere with your half-hitch around the pole, preventing it from tightening up correctly.
When we “rig a structure” in the outdoors, we are working with TENSION in a rope/line/cordage/ and anchor type stuff, and with COMPRESSION in something solid, like a pole/stick/tree/ground type stuff. There are many hundreds of pieces of knowledge and skill to be learned, practiced, and used. Knowledge can be tested by a verbal or written test. Skill,is tested be demonstrating ability to perform a task. Learning is tested by a change in behavior. We all should be constantly learning something new. Either that, or making arrangements for our funeral. There are two, sure signs of Life: growth, and death. Each of us chooses - several.times every day. Climbing down off the soap box now.

With heavy winds I blew out só many rings of “unbreakable” and so-called “storm proof” tarps…this works for that too? Will try die sure! Cheers once more 🤘🏼
use military trouser blousers as "shock absorbers" at each tie out, or your tent/tarp will tear. Reinforce each tie out with a hunk of gorlla tape on each side of your membrane, if you have no blousers, bend a, strong seasoned springy stick into a "u" and tie the ends. Use one of these sticks as your shock-absorber. at each tie out.
even better idea create a larks head put one loop under the tarp and one above you then have two tie out points which can be spaced 45 degrees from each other!! that poles going nowhere!!
