Wow that was a real bargain.
Indeed, it is funny old world, or new world. Things used to be more predictable in the good old days. Now? A bit of hit and miss. :D
That's pretty good. It must have been made with good quality material.
I was wondering if plastic tarps degrade through time even not being put out in the sun, just being stored away and getting old.
But it seems all depends on what materials they are made of? I recall having bought my old...
I was clearing out the toolboxes in the shed, and found this old large tarp about 5m x 7m in camaflage colour. It is made of some type of cheap plastic material nothing special.
I remember buying it about 15 years ago, and used for one summer season. It must have been folded, and put away...
Got a popup tent set up under the canopy for further sheltering from the storm, and now quite cozy for a quick rest, sit down for a drink and read or repairing and cleanig the garden tools in it.
It takes about 5 minutes to erect, and 5 minutes to dismantle fold and put it in the carry bag...
A smokeless firepit. Not 100% smokelss due to damp woods. Seems working ok giving much less smoke than normal firepit. We have loads of tree branches to burn in the garden.
The 100m roll of paracord from Amazon for £9.61 arrived next day, and it seems good quality. I managed to tie up the shelter frames guying it down to the heavy rocks and washing poles. The paracord was bending and tieing very well like string. The canopy shelter feels more secure and stable...
Managed to locate, and ordered one from Amazon a 4mm noname paracord 100m length for £9.61 including FREE delivery.
Will update here on quality in due course.
I am planning to order some paracord for guying and making hanging lines for the canopy shelter frame.
Would it be better to go for something more expensive and branded paracord, or are they all more or less the same?
From eBay it seems a lot cheaper about £10 for 100m long and 4mm thickness...
Yes, that sounds right. We are having a rainy and windy day today at the time of writing this post. I checked with BBC weather, and it says the wind speed is between 20-30 miles per an hour this area today.
I can already see the shelter making noises, and moving around with the wind. At one...
No probs Pattree. Yeah taking down the PVC roof is one of the options, although it could be a boring tedious task. With the roof off, the frames should be ok, as there is no much surface that takes the wind force.
I have never used augers for anchoring the dogs. The only augers I have seen were for drilling the woods.
I thought our waste pipes running down the house wall outside were made very strong with some heavy metalic stuff, and well secured into the wall and the ground too. But as you said, it...
The canopy shelter is not anchored to the ground yet. The 4x outriggers seem to be holding it very securely. But I will get some guy wire and tie them into the tree stumps and the drainage pipes as well as get some pegs and push them down into the soil trying to further secure it down.
Yes, that was the premeditated worry. Taking the PVC roof off from the frame during the winter season seems best answer suppose.
I have seen some heavy and solid all metal structures getting badly damaged or suffering total collapses by strong winds in the videos. This mobile carport canopy...
It is secured with the scaffolding outriggers 4x on each leg of the shelter. It feels quite secure right now, but the strong wind might do some damage during the winter months.
Here is a video for the shelter. It keeps rain and sun lights off giving good shelter right now.
