If you cut the corners so they have a 45 degree angle cutout that will follow the "mitre" between each side. It's like wrapping a present. You can see it pretty clearly in a video I posted a while back here

We use bungee as we had issues with the velcro pulling off or weakening over time. Going through the season and having something be too strong at first and then too weak isn't something we wanted to deal with.

Edit: I almost forgot that we created what is probably a really bad white paper with pictures to explain the process we used. We started with inspiration from other teams and tweaked to get where we are now. The question about corners is covered on page four.
