As for shelving in a pavilion: you might consider a
set of straps which have wide loops sewn into them and
a grommeted hole in the top. The grommet goes over
your pavilion pole (which then goes through the tent
grommet), and boards slide into the loops & brace
against the poles. This arrangement has the advantage
of folding down small for transport.
In service,

Bridget O'Donnell suggests:
: I would recommend a set of plastic collapsable shelves. They are not period,
: true, but are strong and waterproof, and not too expensive either.
Aye, Lady, but beware. I brought such a set, and congratulated myself
for my cleverness. Then, in the storm on Thursday night (the second
Thursday storm, that is), a tent pole vibrating in the high winds
smacked into my shelves, sending the whole thing tumbling over and
covering things with the tomato sauce from the glass jars on the
second-highest shelf!
And yes, I've learned some lessons out of this... 8-)

I have used the plastic folding portable clotheslines that I have got at
walmart for lots of things including food. they fold out in a circle
similiat to a upside down unbrella with clothespins on all the "spokes". I
hook it to the edge or ceter pole and have lots of hanging room. I also
found a chain with clips in the childrens section (for stuffed animals?)
that I hang from one side to the other and clip stuff to.
Hope this helps!

(puzzled look) My tent (both my first 8x10 and the 12x16 monster tent I
currently use) never (ahem) shimmied while they were being used in the
pursuit of recreational activities. (and believe me, I can get pretty
recreational.(G) I solved the backlighting problem long ago by hanging
drapes inside my tent on all four walls. They're made from cheaply
purchased Burlington drapery fabric remnants, with a white vinyl lining.
Car headlights can hit 'em, you won't see anything. And they really make
the inside of the tent look more like a pavilion.

I find that getting my stuff in to period looking containers in my pavillion
is one of the better uses of my time ....
I've made some stupid simple 18"*18"*2' pine boxes stained with brass
harware which are simple, stackable, easy to load and export and are cheap to
make. There are even simpler/cheaper boxes, but I like the brass and all that
good stuff....
I've really cheated alot to make these easily... so ask me to show you and
rip my ideas off..
my next project is going to be a wooden folding table, you can pick my
braind about that if you wish too...
