I finally tried a cheap tarp shelter and got soaked in 2 hours

Set up a $15 blue tarp over my fire pit area last weekend in Portland, figured it would hold up for a simple rain break. Wind caught the corner and dumped a gallon of water right on my head, plus the grommets ripped out by hour two. Anyone else have better luck with a specific tarp knot or setup for gusty spots?

Truckers hitch worked better for me, but I still had to ditch the cheap tarp.
