Help: Why won't my REI UltraLow 3303 tarp stay taut on calm nights?
Spent the weekend at Clearwater Lake trying to set up the new UltraLow 3303. The tarp is supposedly a 3‑point tension system, but after anchoring the three corners the middle grommet just sags whenever there's no breeze.
- Used 12mm steel stakes (model ST12‑R) as per instructions
- Tied all three guylines with bowline knots, adjusted tension twice
- Checked guyline length against the spec sheet – matches exactly
Even the pole sleeve (type PR‑15) feels loose. Thought it was a one‑off, but the same thing happened last night. Anyone else had the same issue, or am I missing something obvious?
Maybe it's the way the central hub lock (part #U3303‑C) is engaged? Any insight would be appreciated. 👀
