Hi, I wondered if anyone knows how many guy ropes there are on the 5m bell from karma? Mine is packed up, and I want to treat it to some Clamcleats or similar.
Thanks!

Also, which clam cleats do people use? There are different sizes, and I'm not sure which I need...

Looking at their photo gallery, it looks like thirteen One guy for each panel seam

-------------
Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

Hi, we have a 5m bell tent and i'm pretty sure there is 14 guys, 3 at the front, 3 at the back and 4 each side. We bought CL260 size clam cleats and they are fine. Fitted and tried them out for a weekend a few weeks ago and they work very well! Hope this helps.

Kate

ps This is my first post after lurking on here for a year or more (i'm a bit shy )so Hi to all!

Thanks Kate, thats a huge help. I'll get ordering today. I should have counted guys as I was packing up last time but it was pouring down  and it felt like about a hundred!

A belated welcome. Any nice pics of the Karma in action? Always love to see someone else's bell tent setup to help me perfect my own!

You are welcome! Pics are a bit beyond me at the mo but would be boring anyway because as lovely as the tent is from the outside, our tent is just functional on the inside
however when I suss it out I will try and post some.

Kate

Just realized this thread could get somewhat confusing as we are both Kates ha!
