[QUOTE="FlyFishn1, post: 2858093, member: 127209"] Here are a couple pictures for perspective. This is the back side of the tents. Right is the 10x14, left is the 10x19.5 Wood poles are 12' 4x4's I split out of some 4'x12' pallets. All cordage is 550 paracord. The flagged stakes are 18" 1/2" rebar (anchors for the wood poles etc). [ATTACH type="full"]477205[/ATTACH] Below is the front side. The canopy is a "common area". In looking at my Wall Tent idea this would be the "cook shack". The tarps give us a lot of area to store things "under cover" outside of the tents also. That will be a consideration with my wall tent idea, however we are going to have a substantial amount more room inside if I use the 2x 14x15 "tents" with a "cook shack" sandwiched between - the cook shack space would likely cover everything. I'll have to give the idea of the "cook shack" some more thought. In the specific set up here that might not be entirely ideal. Rather, an awning the same size might be better - with removable sides. That way we have the roof over-head, but if the wind kicks up or there's a storm we would have the option of closing in the sides. With a walled "cook shack" you couldn't open it up the same way. In the colder weather, though, the walled "cook shack" would be ideal. Plus that can double as its own smaller stand-alone tent. [ATTACH type="full"]477206[/ATTACH] A bit off topic, but a good topic to expand the perspective of things - in the top 1st picture, the upper right of it you can see a guy line going bottom left to upper right. That is the top guy support for the 65' antenna. Heres a better (not great) picture of it below. That gets back to a point I made earlier on about guying things down and the strength of guys.
