Tent is a 10x20 from Costco. We had a high pressure system that brought some rain and wind, to the tune of 50 mph, and over a hundred on slopes of Mauna Kea on the Big island of Hawaii. My wife called me up freaking out because everything was blowing around, so I left work to tend to matters. A gust must of caught it right, because it bent two of the end poles over. If you look in the pic at the back corner you'll notice the pipe isn't straight. I've used marine ply in the past and it was a lot lighter than regular ply. The exterior ply that we get here on the island is usually wet, twisted, etc. The marine ply has no voids, dry, straight and light. Do the voids make that much of a difference? I figured I'm in this deep whats a couple hundred more for better material.
