 Engineering Specifi cations

Design Criteria: 
Code: ASCE 7-10
Wind Speed: Varies according to specifi cations below
Exposure: Category C (Open Terrain)
Mean Recurrence Interval (MRI): 2Years
Building Category: II

Notes:
The following loading for suspended equipment has been included within the calculations. Maximum hanging load per 
leg is 50lbs, and maximum hanging load per centerpole is 200lbs. 

All analysis and reactions below have been completed assuming the tent is completely walled. 

External Guys to be installed at distance of 12” less than the height of the side pole 

Tent is not engineered for snow or live loading.

Recommended Factor of Safety for edge post tieback guys: 3.0 times the maximum design tension. Loadings shown are 
per location. Loadings can be resisted with multiple tieback guys to attain acceptable working load value per strap/guy.

A Factor of Safety of 2.0 times the design load has been used for the pull out tension in lbs that the anchoring devices 
must resist in the direction of the load. Ensure that the anchors installed are adequate to resist pull out loads show on the 
diagram. Actual testing of some individual anchors to 75% of the anchor pull-out load is recommended.

Each component of the Tent should be inspected at the beginning and the end of each installation for visual signs of 
damage by the installer. All damaged materials should be repaired or replaced immediately.
