    The small one will surprise you at how long it is and they come with string - the string is ok but I prefer paracord - if you search TardMe for "paracord" there are lots of people selling 30m/100ft lengths.The reflective stuff is good.
    My mate's fly had that reflective cord that shows up in torchlight so ya don't trip over it at night and if I did it again I'd get that stuff.
    I weigh down the edges with stones or branches and provided you're careful it doesn't rip.
    I used about 3/4 of the paracord for the fly and the rest for a lifting rig for carcasses.
    IMO they shed rain fine, I just make mine taut so that the wind flapping sound doesn't keep me awake at night.
