Here's a link to a photo of my TLS with my WBRR on it. The ridgepole is 16' and I'm using most of it. The legs are 8'.
Short version...you'll need a long ridgepole and taller legs (I suggest at least 7' for a TDS)...the WBRR is LONG.

I also use a 16 foot ridgepole for the WBRR. 12 is definitely too short, 16 feels just about right. You might be able to get away with 14 or 15ish, but I wouldn't go much shorter than that.
The middle piece that you see in the picture is a piece of PVC pipe that I have covering the ends of two lengths of top rail. One length of the rail has a large wooden dowel fixed to the inside of it, such that it can be used to quickly join one rail to the other. I then slide the PVC outer shell over the joined area for some extra piece of mind.

Going with the 16', so next question would be....is it better for the ridgepole couple to be in the middle or offset, or doesn't matter? Also, would heavy duty bungee inside the length help with pre-load stability?
If no rain tomorrow...hang day!

ymmv but I found 14' to be just about perfect. I went with 10' for indoors and it's doable but I don't sleep as well.
