Guyline lengths?

How long of guy lines do you guys keep on your ground side/non ridge line guy outs? Specifically on a Superfly if you have one.

6 feet works well for me. If you want porch mode, perhaps 8 feet is better.

I carry two 10' lengths for porch mode in addition to what Brandon @ Warbonnet suggests in this video:

On my tadpole with only 4 corner guy line connections all are 8'. On my Old Man Winter all corner connections are 8' and my 2 mid-connections are 6'.

I use Nite Ize reflective line, different colors for different lengths so they're easy to tell apart: 6X4' for the corners and tie-outs in green, and 2X12' for tying the two tie-out loops of either side together in grey. Each line attaches and detaches easily with mitten clips, and figure nines instead of knots. In porch mode, the grey tie-out tie-togetherers do double duty. Chuck 'em all in a tyvek envelope with the stakes. Just my 2¢.

8 ft does my corner tie outs even on a good slope. For porch mode, I just extend the lines to surrounding trees with some 1mm kite dyneema cut into 6ft lengths.

I just use the JRB self tension lines, I think they're 9'......and shorter 4'ish + a bit of shock cord for the doors

Trail Runner stole my thunder. He put in the official Warbonnet Superfly Video where the lengths are discussed and put into the video. Good job TR. I use the recommended lengths and have had great success with my Superfly.

All the best !

On my Superfly I'm thinking of going with 6' on the main four grounds, 4' bungees on the doors and bungees and a single 10' per side pull outs, two into one configuration. Planning on having two extra 10' lines for porch mode and what-not type of situations.

5ft on the main guy out's. Maybe 2ft on the door's.

I use my non-adjustable poles for porch mode, and this let's me guy it out fine, but I wouldn't be able to go much higher.
