Instead of attaching the guys directly to the tent, add a stainless steel karabiner in between, so that the karabiners and the guys could be taken off and store separately from the tent if they are still moist/wet.

This was suggested in the big Karsten thread, and I did that with my own Dutch cotton canvas pyramid tent.

Do the new Dutch tents come with that now anyway then?

I attach my guys to my Alaska with carabiners. If your guys are wet they tend to dry slower than the tent and can be a source of mildew.

Wow, loads of customisation ideas I hadn't even considered, thanks!
The plastic guy ropes idea might be worth it, I'm always a little unsure if the ropes are dry to the core or not.
