If you chose to use Rebar to secure your guy lines, make sure ANY EXPOSED REBAR is covered, a tennis ball works great for this, make a small 1" slit into a Wilson or a Penn or any tennis ball, pinch it and it will open up like Pac Man, then just slide that Neon PacMan Tennis ball over the Rebar. Voila! and remember Safety third!
I shuddered at the thought of coming in late at night/early morning, groggy, half asleep, foggy eyed, weaving, stumbling, etc, and tripping either over or onto one of those....not so sure I'd want to deal with a potential for serious injury...I'd go with heavy duty tent stakes with a round head....just saying..
I use light duty stakes; they are L shaped and angled down, so when I drive them in, both ends are in the ground...very little up, mainly just the rope.
Remember, if someone gets hurt, you have to help....may be when you would rather be somewhere else....
That would be horrible! but no the rebar is smaller caliber than the pvc pipe so: rebar in ground, pvc pipe slid over that! That WAS going to be my setup but i broke down and bought an EZ UP yesterday! haha
things to think about when using a tarp as shade as above^:
~the space you will have....will there be no one in the way of the guide lines
~and make sure you put something on the lines so they can be seen at night...if not someone will trip and mess up your shade and or someone will get hurt
This past weekend I tested the shelter again; tweaked some of the knots/achors, added carabiners for easier setup, and also tried some different variations.
I will post some images/tutorials for everything I did, soon!
My camping partner and I usually take two EZ-Ups and a few tarps. One EZ-Up goes over the tent and one for a lounge area. The tarps are used for a makeshift shower area. EZ-Ups are an excellent investment. Do your research though and make sure you get a sturdy one. Don't want that joker falling on someone, a car, etc in a brisk wind. Good luck to ya.
