The DPM tarps have a fabric strip up the middle so it could work. Think the pole would shift in the wind though.

I've been considering just pegging the four corners flat and sliding under for summit bivvys :) Might suffocate though once the JD and sleeping pills kick in :P

I think you would need some sort of clearance to keep the condensation/dew of your kit.  I suppose you could just peg out the four corners and place a walking pole, at it's lowest setting, right in the centre creating a very low Teepee structure.  Might be an idea to reinforce the centre of the tarp with gaffer tape so the pole doesn't push out through.

Would be interesting to try it  8)

I would like to see if that could be done.
No one goes inside to clear their head

can you add a ringlet so the tarp centre?
think outside, no box required
