What do you call the cord that stretches tents that are nailed to the ground?
I am talking about the orange cords we see in the picture above. They seem to be nailed to the ground and seems to be stretching the tents. What do you call those things?

The ropes are guy lines or guy ropes (both sometimes hyphenated or given as one word), the "nails" in the ground are tent pegs.
Wikipedia: large tents are usually anchored using guy ropes tied to stakes or tent pegs.
