    Cabelas alaknak setup to prevent water pooling

    For any of you cabelas alaknak tent users out there….I am curious if you have leaks from standing water after a rain along your side walls? This was an issue for me last year. I’m assuming it’s due to improper tensioning somewhere. Just curious if anyone has had this problem and how were you...
