These two systems that we are going to do next are
the staple of the industry.
The systems are a three hole bar and, I call it, a five hole bar, but it is really a six hole bar.
These systems have been around
ever since we switched from rope to web guides. This is how the
industry went.
I will give you an explanation between the two.
The idea behind this system here
is that it accomplishes
close to
the same as a three hole,
but with a more narrow footprint.
This is so you can get in and out of tents.
If you have entry ways, marques, attachment tents,
you have less footprint here,
therefore less tripping hazards.
The second reason that the plates are coming more and more popular,
they are much easier to store and much easier to transport.
These things stack like crazy.
These things stack until you hit the first cigarette butt in the driveway.
Then, they all tip over in your truck.
Two stakes and three states are close to the same numbers. Three states and five
states are
close to the same numbers.
So, once again,
our business is built on labor. Anywhere you can save costs on labor, you are
going to make more money.
How long does it take to drive two stakes verse three stakes or three verse five?
Multiply that by
thirty or forty positions on the tent.
It is a significant time savings.

The other thing you are going to notice with the three hole bar and five hole bar is
that when the system fails,
it fails in our heart beat.
They do not just pop up a little bit. They pop up and take off.
Once these fail, there is no holding back.
The ones that are perpendicular to a tent
can have failure,
but it will probably still be there. Most of these, when you have failure, they are gone.
Four thousand and we do not have a bit of movement.
There was not one bit of movement.
This particular system, in this type of soil,
will hold four to six thousand pounds.
That is what this is going to hold before it breaks.
