NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Take over to Camo please, I will get it from PB at some time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You!

I stretched it out yesterday, it is the round top vinyl material, only thing is it's pretty dirty, and some stitching has let go. cleaned up might make some fabric for your bottom gap or cut for an end


and can take by Larry's if you still want to look at it.

Lifting the first 16 foot wide section
Looking at their website it looks like they now have them up to 1/2 inch they used to only go to a 1/4 inch . But with Tapcons you have to use the correct size drill bit ( they come with the boxes of 100 ) or they won't tighten down right . They are good at holding thingsto concrete but snap easy with side pressure .

If you can't use that vinal section I sure could, I have the old style tent and half the canvas I got is ruined. It is going to be awful for me to get it on there by myself. I put the frame up by myself so I can figure something out. If anyone has anymore vinyl sections free or cheap please let me know!

Looks really good guys. Will be much better than working out in the sun and rain.

Okay let's finish posting, it's easier to load pics via tap talk but not good for writing on the phone. I will add narrative later

Okay so how do you lace up the two sections once you have put them up separated?

You go flying

Without heavy equipment I don't see how you could put this up. I think if you did not put on blocks maybe a normal wrecker could lift high enough but we used the following

M62 wrecker
M819 wrecker with extended boom
Large tractor with front end loader
M923 block hauler
22 foot extension ladder
20 foot drain pipe
20 foot 6x6
Lots of archer straps
Body harness
45 plus hours
