Comments on: How to make a shade structure for Burning Man that won’t blow away! http://www.jonstarbuck.co.uk/archives/171 Jon's little corner of the Intenewt Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:16:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jacob http://www.jonstarbuck.co.uk/archives/171#comment-13860 Jacob Tue, 21 Jun 2011 21:54:37 +0000 http://www.jonstarbuck.co.uk/?p=171#comment-13860 I just ordered a bunch of alumanet, and intend to execute a variation of this awesome idea for burningman 2011. I first had this hairbrained plan to build use half circles of PVC piping and a big military parachute, but after reading a bunch I figure your design may hold up better. Thanks and I'll try and follow up on this! I just ordered a bunch of alumanet, and intend to execute a variation of this awesome idea for burningman 2011.

I'm planning on building a very similar one at burning man 2010 except I'm using a plain old tarp instead of alumanet and some aluminum poles instead of wood posts. I hope mine stays up as well as yours :). I'm experienced at building this type of thing because I was in boy scouts all my life so I'm confident it will work. However, I was planning on using this just for a hang out spot at my camp. I still need to figure out how I'm going to shade my huge 8 person tent. Possibly I'll just tie some reflective pads or space blankets on it because otherwise i'll have to build a huge shade structure to cover it, which i don't have the resources for. Anyway, thanks and maybe I'll come around to your camp to say hello. I'm shark! THE MAN BURNS IN 52 DAYS! Hey this post was really inspiring for my own shade structure!
