 ===== Stakes =====

+The tent is held down using stakes, only eight are needed in normal weather. An additional twelve, depending on comfort level, are available for tie-down during storms.
-The stakes are 750mm long and a 5-6kg (12-14lb) sledgehammer is required to drive them into the ground. A stake puller is used to remove the stakes from the ground. We have a UHD 3-way stake puller, from the marquee's manufacturer.

   * The tent is ripe for a robust RGBWW lighting system.
   * Some decoration is sorely needed. Self adhesive vinyl decals are clean, removable, and won't damage the tent's material.
+  * A few things we could do to make it easier to move:
+    * Something(s) to contain small components
+    * Something to contain stakes
+    * A way to bundle poles (legs, eaves and ground bars). They're not all that heavy so can easily carry weight of a few of them at a time but need something to keep them together as one bundle. Handles and/or shoulder straps would be nice too.
+    * Another bag for walls. Came with bag for all 4 walls together; that is heavy enough to be a pain to carry very far. Splitting them over 2 bags would be better.
