Hey guys do you think the 2 side guy lines should be tied to the two bottom loops on each side or the two loops on the front corners? I've seen both scenarios in the pictures

Its up to you as a personal prefrence. The bottom loops on each side are going to give you more ventilation but I think the two loops on the front corners will help in strong winds. In a storm it would be good to have extra guy lines and tie down every loop available.
