Anyone got ideas of ways to replace the windows and screen? Seems they are same as TEMPER tent... but ones I found were like nearly 350 bucks a piece.. that is not happening. Considering something like thicker Nylon or similar strapping... say 1.5? 2? inch wide ..... and suround the window...

yesturday wrangled more with the one End Wall/Curtain side and didnt want to fit right. Wrestled the whole frame to get it to sit seemingly more Square and level at the base. Honestly that helped nothing. Even took Side Wall and End Wall off the Peg at that top corner to tug and...

Monkey fits me well.... had to be one for this build

last End Section laced. Fitment sucks. Was not hot today though. Didn't velcro down the weather flaps. Going to loosen all the straps on the purlins and the uprights and next time it is hot to try to snug the fitment down good then do the last velcro flaps. Ohhh.... and of course...

Got one End Section/Curtain fully Beckett Laced and Weather Velcro Flap affixed. Did it with Curtains pulled open to give everything as much slack as possible. Again stood on the POP UP/helmet top in bed of LMTV as my scaffolding. (It is set at same height as Cab Roof 9.5ft?) Thought for...

Just took a guess and did TM recommended Square knot tie offs. For roof did one at roof where hits Eve area on both sides. From there did new set of Beckett lacing down the walls between the two covers. Started at top; at Eve... worked down till tie off at bottom. Monkey Climbed again...

Beckett lacing..... Got the roof of two main covers laced together today . Tried it late at night yesterday when heat was down but was already exhausted from other happenings around the house and mostly brain stupid by then. Big fail. Started again after 5pm today when it was cooler...

Thanks..... others are saying same thing. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/lme-maintenance-tent-erection.143775/post-2618884

sorta same topic as patching..... sorta not Side question. one.... similar topic- what would be good product to coat threads so they last longer...... that is what usually makes a tent fail..... threads deteriorate before the vinyl cover does Second side question.. what about velcro that...

found a hint that hh-66 and round cut patches are good way to go. Anyone got different product Idea?? .... suggested methods?? (inside? outside? Both? ) What about something to coat threads...

Any hole patching suggestions??

Done.... Rain never came but clouds significantly dropped temps..... soooo took opportunity while Cover not baking hot from the sun, to slither up to the R-Clips and put them into Pegs. Laid on A frame instead of Purlin. Yeah Im a genius in recognizing that this was way less distance and much...

Last End Wall/Curtain up. Even got Curtain Drawcord(s) on it. .... Took @swiss experience he posted about little further up, to make sure Cord(s) are hanging in a way to NOT get run over . Put Drawcord on both sides instead one cord that pulls both open /closed ....... if that is how it...

rain today on/off unpredictably so that throws off putting up remaining end. Questions though. The Draw Cord for curtain(s) End just put up has no draw cord. Obviously can make one..... How does this draw cord supposed to work...... where does it attach. TM's SUCK cause they assume draw cord...

LMTV has remained daily driver.. NOT BY CHOICE... its only thing that runs.... (though alternator not run in 2.5yrs.) Speaking of Alternator.... Local "Electric Motors" ad on Marketplace showed three electric motors but onnnnnne???? not motor..... You folk probably see exactly what I saw...

One end Curtain installed. Am at it it alone again. Eddie ended up with unexpected sick baby and family priority stuff to deal with for a while. He'll be back to assisting soon. He got me over the hump and moving again, so am grateful. Pics and Vids coming soon

Yeah I have the TM's. and refer back and forth to them. Was just recognizing that in the photos of these in actual use in theatre and some in setup by surplus companies that sell them.. the ropes are sometimes like TM's and sometimes straight down along the edges. One surplus company I saw...

still not dead...... back to " raising tent "

someone take an ex Military rig and do something like this. Preferably one not restorable anyway. https://youtube.com/shorts/BTpr07VzJaM?si=vOkCTKxIoBH5-3zk

OK.... got it... way they were folded up and stored... w/doors not in position they would be when installed .... as I unfolded and laid it out.... it just was ????? Yep it is how Platoon last folded it up.... that was causing the mind explosion :cookoo: 🤯 .. and why it made no sense...
