Yeah... at the very least, they'd make fabrication of panels easier.

This is a subject that has renewed interest for me. Carol and I may have
found the land we want to settle on in middle Tennessee. We will need to put
some sort of temporary dwelling on it while we scout sites for a permanent
house; the temporary dwelling needs to satisfy the lenders. I'm very much in
favor of a well-built, sturdy, insulated tent structure (though most people
might not recognize it as a tent).
