[Ponte Alto] URGENT Pennsic Encampment News

I check the land calculator. For a tent without ropes it adds 3 feet per dimension (length and width) not 3 feet per side. So two tents w/o ropes next to each other would end up three feet apart. 

10 x 10 tent would have 3 feet added to the length and width becoming 13 x 13 or 169 sq ft. If you added 3 feet per side that would make it 16 x 16, or 256 sq. ft. So the land calculator is correct.

  Well, perhaps we should consider this a bit further.  The 3 feet of space is a fire marshall requirement between tents, correct?  However, if two tents next to eachother each adds 3 feet of space, is that not now a 6 foot space between the tents?  Is that perhaps more than necessary?  

  Would it not be more correct to account for 1.5 foot perimeter space per tent, which when accrued becomes 3 feet between two tents?

    Yes, but I'm finding that people who have 10x12 mundane tents -- no extra space needed for ropes -- are being told that they're over their allotted space.  How is this being figured?  That's 120 square feet by my calculator.
