I think the concept of pre-staking is a really good idea.

We install our ratchets at the top of our tents to ensure we are facing the tent, which allows us to monitor the tension more accurately for secure ratcheting. Installing the ratchet at the stake would mean our back is turned to the tent, making it harder to see and control the process effectively. However, using either location does not affect the strength or functionality of the tent and ratchet. We appreciate your comment!

YOU NEED CONES TO PROTECT SHINS !
@americantent 19 күн бұрын
Our stakes are designed to stick out only 6 inches from the ground, minimizing the risk of shin injuries, we understand that they can still be a potential tripping hazard. For even more effective protection, you can use stake covers specifically designed for tents. We appreciate your input & are glad to hear safety is a priority for you! If you'd like to discuss any of your comments further, feel free to give us a call at 920-431-0938.

NO SWINGING WILDLY WITH THE HAMMERS OR THEY WILL HIT THEM AND BREAK TRY TO USE THE ELBOW AND SMALL TAPS WORKS BEST ! SLOW AND STEADY THE STAKE DRIVERS ARE NO GOOD! SLEDGE ALL EXCEPT ROCK THEN YOU NEED ROCK DRILLS !

We use Hogan headed stakes made of high tensile alloy steel for added strength. They’re designed to be extremely durable and resistant to breaking. Stakes that break might be smaller, have a different head, or made from lighter-weight materials. We recommend using stake drivers as an alternative to manual sledge hammering. Stake drivers can get the job done faster, straighter, and with more consistent strength than manual labor.

We encourage our customers to be aware of the local regulations in their area, as requirements can vary. Most anchoring requirements depend on the design of the tent model and soil conditions. While some states specify the number of stakes required, the exact placement and quantity can depend on factors such as soil type and weather conditions. For instance, in rainy conditions, more stakes may be necessary to ensure stability. Thanks!

PUTTING RATCHETS IN AIR WILL RIP TENTS SWITCH IT AROUND !
@americantent 19 күн бұрын
Thanks for the comment! If installing the ratchet in the air is causing the tent to rip, it could indicate that the vinyl being used isn't of the highest quality. We recommend using a 16oz. blockout vinyl measuring 1000 denier to ensure durability and prevent any damage during setup.

NO ! RATCHETS GO ON STAKES AND THE STRAPS STAY ATTACHED TO TENTS EVERY TIME YOU ALL DID IT BACKWARDS !
