To add for those who might be skeptics, the Panther stakes are like $1.25 a
piece which is a fine price for them and are more than worth the price. We
bought a few extra some place and they havent lasted like the panther ones
we bought 4 years ago.

who has a 12X12 regent with attached walls, super floor and mudflaps with
Panthers set up kit and a 12X16 dining fly with a homemade set up kit, weve
maybe spent $900 all told and would do it again.
