[QUOTE="FlyFishn1, post: 2856910, member: 127209"] Thanks for the reply, info, and detail. I am not discounting the rest of what you said, just wanted to zero in on the point in the quote. Can you detail your theory on the wind loading vs. wall height? My thoughts right now are with the substantial amount of guy tie-out points available there is a significant amount of strength in that rigging + frame to transfer the forces down to the ground. I am well versed in guy anchors - we anchor not only tents and tarps but masts and towers also (one I commonly set up is 65' tall, 4 way guy system at 2 levels, 8 guys total). If traditional stakes aren't enough to take a guy load there are lots of other options. For example - I've used a combination of 18-24" long 1/2" rebar rods for heavy guys along with 1/2" x 12" lag screws (we set up in a field with very hard ground at times - an impact wrench and the lag screws makes quick work out of setting guy anchors). All that having been said, I still see a framed "wall tent" as substantially stronger than what we have been using with plenty of room to play with the dimensions. I'm not arguing the point, rather laying some ground work for where I am coming from with how I am thinking about it. I'd like to contrast that with what your theory is and why. [/QUOTE]
