Re: RE: maint tent

BigMike,
You really need another hex to cover that thing right. You also need at least one diamond. Your leaving your flank exposed. I just put together my two hexes an one diamond for the coming show circuit. It really drops the temp under the net. I love them but hate putting them up and down.

If you have a pic or two please post or send them to me. I may go out and get another hex and get the straps that lash them together. I've got a triangle.

I have purchased several of these. any tips or tricks to erect them?

do you have a pic?

mine look like this

Duh Like you said "Light Weight" .

Ours are the old arch style Maintenance Tents. So I guess I don't know diddly or have anything useful to contribute.

RE: Re: RE: maint tent

[emmado22]

It will look like a BIG TEMPER tent on steroids.....

 

[rizzo]

its a temper tent for sure says that on everything, I compared pics on the net too.

I will have to look I think they are all temper tents, they all look the same.

Rizzo,

That stinks about them NOT being what you expected. I have kept my eye out for a maint. tent but was also very gun shy about bidding w/o looking.

Wow, Sorry that you didn't get what you ordered - like the drive-thru at McDonalds.

Any idea what you actually have at this point? The Temper Tent is hardly light at 1,300 lbs for one 8'x20' section. Sounds like an interesting system, too bad it isn't tall enough to take off an end and use as a maintenance tent.

On the bright side! It only takes 5 soldiers 40 minutes to get it erected.

Hopefully you can offload (errr, sell) some to the SS folk - wasn't Maddawg looking for a "big tent" earlier?

May be interested also Kevin.

Paul,
You already have too many toys. Leave some for the rest of us.

I lent one to a buddy and him and his wife and wifes sister and her kids ect. erected it tonight. he says it is cool and will work great for the yard sale.

I may sell one, not sure. I got it to put next to my garage to put my suburban and M1008 into.mostly the suburban. I drive the 08 more.I think they will fit but be sorta tight.

I will post pics when I get the tent up

Redneck Garage or MV nut garage?

I had it all set up , but need help to lift it so the side walls could be put in place. My friend came over and helped.

I'm excited to have a garage now. My wifes minivan and the kids toys are in the real garage. I can't afford to build a barn so this will have to do.

I have a mulifuel tent heater that should work good for that setup. Just think,a heated garage, Wayne
