Get a hold of Jonathan_S
I just got an 8 man SO with XL stove. Let me know if you want any pics of details. But otherwise, Jonathan_S is your guy for DIY.

But otherwise, Jonathan_S is your guy for DIY.I'd love to see some photos of the areas I was curious about... basically the inside and outside of the peak, the way the stove jack is installed, the way the guy-line loops are attached, the reinforcements on the stake-out points, etc.Basically a couple of detail pics that might help me. If you don't have that but have some general pics of it assembled, that'd be helpful too. I just don't have a good existing one to lay eyes on.thanks, stang
Realized when I saw this that I forgot to follow up again with you. I'm finishing a tent in the next few weeks and will post some pics for you based on what we talked about

If building from scratch would design with tie outs 3’ up and catenary curves so you almost have 3’ sidewalls. Similar effect of lowering center pole a couple feet and snugging up guylines.
I'd rather sew in an extra panel or two than try and mark catenary curves. Maybe I'd feel differently if time weren't as important to me in an individual build.I'll encourage you and everybody to not overthink a tent build. It's rare to find a place to pitch it perfect anyway.
