Cob build in a tent, weight and support question

Starting getting things set up in a 4x4 tent and I'm a little nervous about a large cob setup and the tents ability to support that much weight. What amounts to a timber like setup of 12 cobs seems like a heavy burden for the tent. Add in anything else that needs to be hung and that's a lot of weight for a flimsy albeit metal frame.

Everyone else hanging there cobs by the tent? Would hate for the tent to collapse mid way thru with hundreds of dollars in lights and the potential fire hazard something like that could create.

yea the poles for those tents come in 5/8" to 1 1/8 " (16-28mm) , the bigger the tent the thicker the poles you need. They dont always tell you this. I guess you could try to reinforce the frame somehow, duct tape the crap out of it, lol handy mans helper! jk
