As a tree guy (Certified Arborist) I know how to rig, and tie all kinds of adjustable hitches. Setting a new tarp is simply a matter of securing one side of the tarp with adjustable hitches, throwing my throw line over the structure, from the opposite side, tying it onto a corner grommet, and pulling the first corner of the tarp over the roof. After that, I will secure it with an adjustable hitch, and then repeat with the next grommet I want to tie off, until I get to the opposite corner. After that, I can snug all cords, using the hitches. The whole operation should take about a half-hour. I can handle that on a yearly, or more, schedule.
