Robbo
Makro have a special starting today on the 6m x 3m green and white striped ones with all six side panels so you can totally enclose yourself for £40 + VAT. Not sure if they'll still have some but they were doing 9m x 3m in white with 5 side panels (i.e. back and two sides leaving front open) for £50 + VAT.
Let me know if you want either and I'll pick one up for you!!

We are going to get one from Ebay to replace the one blown away by the mistral/chopper incident last year. c£250 for a heavy duty 9x3m version with full sides and 28mm steel tubing.

Toadie, 28mm is only just over an inch. That's the same thickness of the tubing you had last year (and we had)

Ahh - 28mm sounded so reassuringly strong until you pointed that out!!  |

Mr Toad,
Every millimetre counts, believe me. And 28 is as good a place to start as any. I'd say that would be a good 53 on a balmy June day.
As I understand it, 28mm is about 4lb 3ounces and a groat in proper old English money, so I reckon it'll just be fine.

Robbo, I bought one of these last year, well worth the price but we lost the instuctions for it, if you get one would you mind posting them on here so we at least stand a chance of putting it up again this year. Bob |

We anchored three gazebos together on Beausejour last year, they still took off about 3pm on the Sunday though. A group of German Porsche drivers got a little worried at the contraption hurtled towards their cars at Mach 3.  |
