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.

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-) - Michael From: jeffebear1 at aol.com (JeffEBear1) Newsgroups: rec.org.sca Subject: Re: Period Tents Date: 8 Sep 1996 15:28:25 -0400 In article <4vp8e4$bs9 at crow.cybercomm.net>, rhiannon at cybercomm.net (Pam Herbert) writes: >>some of the clutter...think we might use those storage cubes you put together >>yourself. not period, but easily packable and a feasible solution to having >>*stuff* all over the tent! 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. :)---Holly---<--<- at * San Diego, CA * FunAmigaPaganSysSexGoddessQuilterFabricArtistSCACostumerULCReverendAtLarge Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 00:53:28 -0500 To: bryn-gwlad at Ansteorra.ORG From: caladin at mail.io.com (eric) Subject: Re: Hello, want to fight he Jason & Hilary Brashear said: >Me and My wife Hilary Would Just like to say Hi!! >We where planing on joning the SCA here in Bryn Gwlad. >Well Glad to see that it is still here. >Is there a group here that works on crafts? >We are getting a Round End Marquee Tent >this September and my wife wants to work on >dressing the inside up but doesn't know where to start. 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... c- ============================================================================ Caladin Ironhearth Esq. | Eric W.
