Unlike the static tents and bivys, tarps are very flexible. Depending on, whether you want to be protected from sun, rain, wind or cold, there are various ways to set them up. On the internet, there are a lot of websites, describing the different methods.

The most basic way is the A-frame. You ridge your paracord between two trees, toss your tarp over it and stake the edges to the ground. If you camp in summer and just want to protect youself against a casual rain shower, you pitch just one edge to the ground and attach the other one with a piece of paracord to a tree, the ground or whatever. It's usefull to know how to tie some knots.
