HROMIGRY

Burning Man shade gear

Twelve-inch hex-head lags. One at every foot, and they back out.

Why it's on the list

The city's securing notes describe lags on the order of 12 inches for the shade people worry about losing. The pack we opened is 3/8 inch by 12 inches, 25 bolts with washers, hex head, sold by Hromigry and shipped by Amazon. Twenty-five is more than one 10 by 10 if you place one at every foot and still keep spares. They are not 18-inch bolts, and they are not rebar.

How we use it

Drive them with the impact driver until the foot is down and the hex head still takes a socket. Dust packs the head. Pull every one. A lag through a carport foot is a different job. If you drive rebar instead, cap every exposed end.

Heads up

Twelve inches is the length on this listing. Short kinked tent stakes are still the hardware we stopped using. Uncapped rebar is how a camp hurts someone.
