Commercial tarp poles: How many? Which ones?

Not canoe camping, but car camping in Theodore Roosevelt National Park last year. Beautiful park by the way, and a bit of hidden gem, the north unit is gorgeous, and not heavily used. But I happened to hit it on a rainy day. The tarp and poles were sort of a last minute addition to my gear package, but worked out great. The poles are the 8' Green Elephant ones mentioned above, and this is the tarp. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D839SK4J?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1 It came with 4 guy lines and stakes, and that along with the poles and a couple of extra guy lines worked for me. So the whole set up was under $100. I did end up tying to trees, but could have made most of this work without. But I also could see to do exactly what you want with zero trees, would take 5 or 6 poles.
