just lay some plywood over the holes (under the tarp). it's a flat roof so there is going to be puddling on the tarp no matter what.


cover the whole with plywood and any other weak spots they might fall through. then cover the flat roof with the tarp, butt it up to the walls of the house with 2x4's. leave about a 12-16 inches on the wall-side of the 2x4 to tack up against the house.

in your second picture i cn see the siding and it looks like you might be able to tuck that flap of the tarp up under that bottom row of siding. this way the rain will run down the wall and right onto the tarp instead of down between the wall and 2x4.

to seam two tarps just overlap them about 12 inches and tack it down every 12 inches of so with cap nails

if the seam is on a incline make sure to tuck the lower tarp under the higher top on the incline.
