    Did you experience much sagging in the material? I bought it because of all the good reviews and will still use it, just want to know

    It definitely sagged under the snow load. I would wake up when it sagged enough to reach my head and wake me up. I slapped the side of the tarp and the snow slid off. Then I pushed the snow out away from the netting skirt at the bottom to maintain ventilation. I had tensioners on all the guy lines that I could reach from inside the tarp by reaching under the net skirt, although you can't do that with the LunarSolo because it has a sewn in floor.
