LME system performance depends on correct placement of the arch feet, useof all guy lines, proper staking and maintenance of guy line tension. The LME should measure 23' 115/16" measured outside to outside at the base of the lower legs. To properly stake the structure,proceed as follows:Install two steel pins (1) in each of the arch frame feet (2) to secure the structure to the ground, leaving1 to 2 inches of the pin exposed for ease of removal. Install 24" wooden stakes (3) as directed andattach guy lines (4) and tent slips (5). Install 16" wooden stakes (6) through the foot loops (7) on thebase of the intermediate fabric panels (8) and along the end wall (9).Fold sod cloths toward the inside of the LME and cover with dirt or sand to help prevent entry ofinsects and rodents. This will also prevent light from escaping during night operation.
