Dear Ivy,

We have completed our strength and stability review of the tension tent according to the provisions of the
2015/2018 International Building Code and 2015 Michigan Building Code.

The structure is composed of aluminum truss columns of various heights interconnected via 3/8” wire rope. The
perimeter columns have guy wires, composed of the same wire rope, down to ballast locations. The structure was
reviewed for use at the Electric Forest event taking place in Rothbury, MI. It is intended to be installed yearly for
the event and each installation is not to exceed a 6 weeks period. This submittal is intended to be valid annually
until such time that local building codes adopted are more current than those listed in design.

A High Wind Action Plan has been included on S0.0 and it must be strictly adhered to for the duration of the
event.

I trust this information is suitable for your needs at this time. Please direct any questions to myself or my office as
necessary.

Sincerely,
2024-02-22
