Hi mate, the PR7 reserve chutes are now back in stock from ses on ebay, it seems to be one of the most popular on the circuit for shelter, 28ft diameter, I have one and they peg out nicely. Mine arrived in good order with no rips or tears. No connections etc. just trying to help. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Parachut...372015?hash=item1ca7a01aef:g:zE8AAMXQDjhQ6-ON
Wheres the parachutes hiding?

Damn - They listed the larger main (x type parachute) a few days prior to putting that listing up, so i took the plunge - £55, but a larger 32ft diameter. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/X-Type-P...m=123062027159&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
It doesn't have the mesh panels - so that's a plus, but i worry that 32ft is going to be a little too big to fit into the average woodland setting!

Just hang it higher and steeper on the sides. Sounds easy of course !

Always the way, like you say on the plus side you don't have the mesh panels, which reminds me I need to sew some material over mine.
Good luck with your new chute.

Ah, you make an excellent point!
I was also thinking of sewing some 'ties' into a couple of panels all the way from the hem to the centre, with a plan to roll up and tie away a couple of panels to reduce its size when necessary. I have no idea if that would work!
We just fold them over, however many times you require and tie at the pole/floor end. Might be neater with the "ties" but not necessary in my experience.
That's a good point - and simply folding would probably create less pathways for drips to penetrate too.
