Poly does melt though, so you might be able to weld them together.
A plastic welder (expensive),
A soldering iron/gun with a rheostat,
A hot glue gun,
could be used to weld them together with your lap joint.
Too little heat and you wouldn`t get the weld. Too much heat and you`d burn holes into the poly. Hence the rheostat to control the heat.
Then there`s the practice time to get the temp and technique right.
Economy and time wise, I`d go and buy a larger tarp, and I have a plastic welder.
