I think I would worry more about the tarp/rack making a pond. Water pushing on a dam is the reason so much work is put into the base of the dam. Will the base of the rack hold that force? Might want to put something (Basket Ball?) under the tarp to force most of the water to run off.
Another thought; I know many around here think most science doesn't matter, so this can't effect them. But we are told that water can get in cracks in rock, freeze, and the expansion break off large slabs.
And most tarps, out in weather for couple of months will seep if water sets on top of them. That water, now in the shade under tarp, is likely to freeze. Can you be sure it will not get in any crevice, seam, or other place where that expansion can do damage?
