firemedic, I am talking about a really big rain tarp -- I've seen them set up at about 20 feet by 40 feet, with the central rope at a diagonal across the tarp. It forms a roof that sheds water and keeps the whole campsite dry. Those small gazebos don't have a big enough "footprint."
Keep those ideas coming! Maybe helium balloons??
I was the king of tarps back when I was a Scoutmaster.I am Oregon bred on the wet side of the Cascades.
To put a a big tarp like you are talking about; you will need trees or something tall that you can put the ridge rope over at both ends. Most poles will not be strong enough.

is a bunch of pictures of tarps
