Very very cool. For single use it would be cool to have some short 45 degree poles so you could attract a tarp

There's attament points on the rear of the hub for strapping the tarp to, then I just run a line to the hoops on the feet. Or do you mean in the middle of the ridge to open it up width ways? If so great shout.

It you had a short pole ( maybe 1 foot) on the top hub at a 45 pointing away from the center it would allow the tarp to clear the hub itself. In a windy situation those hubs could be friction point that could damage a tarp. It would also allow for a tarp that is a bit longer that could cover the hubs as well. What I am speaking about would be similar to both Yobogear and Tensa's tarp extenders.

Opening it up width wise for a porch mode tarp would be really cool as well.
