The OE guys are _about_ a meter long and using them them without supporting sticks means the side-wall does a fair impression of Nora Batty's tights. As it's not always possible to obtain a dozen 50cm long stick I've been having a play with using much longer guy-lines ...
Pic from the front. The side-wall is nicely upright and the snow valance is just about apparent.
From the side ~ like I said, long guys :yikes: . I suspect the guying was much longer than required, but I like to get a feel for a set-up before I rule it out or alter it.
The snow valance. I dare say that other materials could be utilised
. No points for why there are two very different bottles within easy reach or the significance of one being blue :yikes:

Gratuitous spork pic for MR. F. The ensemble is hung from the centre front guy point. Alpkit's mini biners are a fantastic bit of kit it's just a tad too large to go through the meat can D-Ring and, at some point, I'll probably swap it out for an light weight S-hook.
The Loue is set at a medium slope and, as can be seen, water has beaded but hasn't been able to run off.
Irrespective of what angle I slope the Loue at, or even if I peg the canopy straight onto the floor, I always get a guttering effect where the canopy meets the side-wall. Is this alleviated by the Loue I's sewn in darts?
As with and single skin (or canvas) tent, condensation can run and drop where you least want it to. There are a couple of tricks to coping, the simplest being avoiding touching it
