[Philmont]: RE:How to rig a "dining fly"?

The line goes across middle top on the inside (about 30 - 35 feet 1/8in
parachute cord), at the each grommet bring a little loop up to the top and
tie a "Larks Head" around a little twig. The twig is supposed to be the
sacrificial piece the breaks when the wind blows instead of the grommet.
This takes care of the ridge line, the lower edges loop in sort of a "W"
tied to the end grommets and only passing through the other grommets.

Take a look at the following picture:

I hope this helps.

Any chance that someone has a picture of how this is done and so can =
save thousands of words?
