guyline
Anchors fabric shelters
A guyline is a rope or cord used to stabilize a tent, tarp, or other outdoor structure by anchoring it to the ground at an angle.
The guy- comes from guide—the lines guide the structure into position and hold it there against wind.
Make sure to tighten the guylines before the storm hits.
