Need some help. What is the average length of the guy lines for your tarp? Also what line do you use for guys? Inquiring minds want to know!

I use Speer No-tangle lines about 10' long
'Classic.' A book which people praise and don't read.” ― Mark Twain
Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.
There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.
Length wise I make sure I have enough to setup in porch mode for the corners, center & door lines are shorter. I use 1.25mm Z-Line from ZPacks.
I use 1.75mm Zing-it for everything except the hmock suspension. Overkill for most things but it's easier to have one do-it-all line.
As to length, I use 6' guy lines on one side and 10' on the other. That gives me the option of setting up on the side of a steep slope or tying out one side to other trees for a porch mode setup.

I use 8ft lengths of Zing-it for everything except the doors, which are 3 ft sections of shock cork with cord locks and mitten hooks. The panel pulls are shock corded together with a 8ft length of Zing-it off of the shock cord.
4ft for all except the corners which are 10 ft for porch mode.
I use 1mm poly sheathed marine dyneema.
8' 3 season
0-12" winter
lash-it (amsteel?)
8', 1.75 Zing-it, with a loop on each end, continuous loop prussiks attached to the tie-outs, and with tubing tensioners.
We are now ready to start our way down the Great Unknown.We are three quarters of a mile in the depth of the earth.We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknow river yet to explore.What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls rise over the river, we know not. Ah, well! We may conjecture many things. The men talk as cheerfully as ever; jests are bandied about freely this morning; but to me the cheer is somber and the jests are ghastly. Powell 1869
8' on corners. 12' for side panel pulls.
6' on four corners. That's it.
