    I like to do the same thing. I think they are standard size D-rings. One thing I do is only crimp the hook on one end of the bungee.

    WOW, those are expensive! Tarpstop's set, 16X24 and 16X27, is only $539. No Ds across the width, but they will add them cheap enough.

    What kind of weight difference would there be with a 14oz side vs 18oz?

    Not much. Like 10-15 pounds. I'd just assume pay the extra 20 for the full tarp in 18oz. Says it's only 100 lbs

    For that little bit of weight I would get the 18oz as well and have something a little more durable.
