The liners in my Kifaru 8-man tipi sag too much to my taste when tied with the original tie-outs. The sagging liners sacrifice too much useable space so I made some tensioners to fix this.
It's not rocket science but I thought I'd post here in case someone else was thinking about this. This is a completely non-invasive modification and no sewing is involved.
I simply used 3mm cord and linelock tensioners. Recipe:

I simply used 3mm cord and linelock tensioners. Recipe:
- Use a hacksaw to cut grooves in the linelocs (see photo)
- Attach linelock to liner's original tie-out loops
- Tie the cord with a bowline knot to the stake-out loop on the canopy
- Take the cord through the lineloc and you're done
