[QUOTE="FlyFishn1, post: 2856664, member: 127209"] Thanks for the input. Re: wall height - Im actually thinking of increasing that. Im 5'10" and prefer some extra head room. With the sloped roofs there would be plenty of head room even with 5' walls, but close to the walls the head room would diminish fast. On top of that - another wild idea I have is, and not using the tent frame, but another internal structure, is to build a "loft" 2nd floor for kids. I would have to work up some dimensions to see what is possible and what height would be required to make it work. RIght now the 2 cabin tents we have are 10x14 and 10x19.5 (feet). In going to Wall Tents - Im thinking a pair of 14x15's with a couple "cook shacks". One cook shack I want as a common area/cook area sandwiched between the 2x living quarters. The 2nd cook shack, if used, Im thinking as my radio tent for Field Day ops - which would be off the other end of one of the living quarters tents. That would keep traffic confined to the "common area" cook shack between the tents. The 14x15 floor plan would be a bit bigger than the smaller of the 2 tents we use now. Adding in even 1 cook shack and the 2nd 14x15 our tent space in camp would be significantly more. Adding in the 2nd cook shack would take a lot of desk space and clutter out of a living quarters tent - opening a lot more floor space. [/QUOTE]
