Hey Karl IMHO they look just spiffing
Anything that shows the effort of being 'hung off' something actually there is half the battle anyways...
think that yours have come up well! Only thing would be that there looks to be too much wire showing with nothing onit. Mebbe a couple extra bits overhanging the tarp roll slightly?

P.S. What are the markings on this beaut?

Hi Karl, that looks good. If there is a criticism it's that unless the rope was extremely tight there would be some sag in it from the weight of the bags etc.
Having said that, I have yet to do the same thing convincingly myself
Cheers,

I think it looks very convincing. Given the width of the bag and the lack of width of the straps, I'd say that the open wire is fine.
