A lot of times I don't even use stakes. Since I'm tying up to trees there are often other trees that I can tie the tarp off to. I bring regular aluminum tent stakes in case that doesn't work out and in the snow, these extra large snow/sand stakes work very well.

A couple more examples. The hammock on the left has a diamond shaped tarp. These are great for their reduced weight (smaller, less material) on summer trips. And two examples of foregoing the hammock and camping on the ground. The example on the right is a pretty straightforward pitch using trekking poles to hold up the centerline. I don't even remember how I got the weird shape on the right but it worked out well.
