Tarptent Squall 2

Benjamin,
I would expect conflicting opinions even from shorter folk.
That has a lot to do with how we perceive/use front opening tents.
You could make yourself a quick mock up to get a better idea.
took me less than 10 minutes to do this (but I have some practice):

shove the tips into the ground about 42"apart angled so that they are about 18" apart at the top, 45" high.
Put the rear struts 90" away , about 38" apart and 20" high .
Run a string between the front and back leaving some slack so that you get a similar catenary curve as in the real tent.
Now get a mat and sit on top inside that mock up…
(keep in mind that the tent is wider than that, as per this photo)
