String rope through the hole & tie a knot where it meets the pole.
Create a faux teepee with your poles to see how they need to lay to be stable. Using 4 poles, it’s best to have the front wider & the back of the teepee more narrow. See how pole #2 lies to meet pole #1 & drill a hole at that distance.
Feed the rope through pole #2, then wrap it around a couple times in various directions to stabilize it.
Add pole #3, testing where to place it, drill hole, feed rope & wrap.
Repeat for pole #4. Wrap the rope over & under, then around the teepee several times. Open your drop cloth horizontally & find the middle. Start draping it from the back of the teepee & secure at the top of your teepee {where the poles meet} with one screw. Drill a hole through the pole first, add a washer to your screw & insert screw through both fabric & pole.
Continue draping your fabric around the sides as it falls naturally, tucking excess at the floor under, trying to keep it tight & uniform where your poles meet. Adjust your poles slightly if needed, then use a screw on each side {same method} to secure the fabric.

Notes
Optional: roll or cut the excess fabric in the interior. We chose to roll.
