<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have received a number of registrations with
incorrect calculations regarding the square footage of the tent
footprint.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The square footage is not just the length times the
width of the tent. It also must include a fire safety buffer. If you
have a modern or period tent with ropes that need to extend more than 6 inches
from the bottom of your tent you need to check the box for ropes. The calculator
is designed to add the proper space and give you corrrect square
footage.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here are the basic instructions from the Land
Calculator Page. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Computing the footprint of your camping area: </DIV>
<DIV>
<P>The dimensions of your tent:<BR>If ropes are needed to stake your tent, 6
feet will be added to the length and 6 feet to the width of your tent
measurements. <BR><I>Ex.</I> A 10 by 10 tent with ropes will have a final
footprint of 16 by 16. This amount is required in order to meet fire safety
regulations. </P>
<P>If no ropes are needed, 3 feet will be added to the length and 3 feet to the
width for fire safety regulations. <BR><I>Ex.</I> A 10 by 10 tent without ropes
will have a final footprint of 13 by 13. </P>
<P>If you have an attached dining fly, include the amount that it projects from
your tent in the measurement for that side of your tent. </P>
<P>If you have a separate dining fly:<BR>Please include the dimensions in the
second tent section, if applicable. Again, 6 ft. will be added to width and
length if ropes are needed, 3 ft. if no ropes are needed. If your dining canopy
and tent have no ropes they must still be three feet apart for fire safety
regulations. </P>
<P><B>Extra Space</B> must be in the positive. If you have an <B
style="COLOR: red">Overrun</B>, you may need to register another person in order
to have enough land allotted for your encampment. According to Pennsic
regulations you may not register a "ghost" child since children are charged
less. You may register a ghost adult and pay that fee in order to get enough
land for your encampment. You can also "share" a registration with other campers
to meet that goal. </P>
