[Rhodes22-list] Boom Room Update as of April 2nd

Mon Apr 3 15:00:02 EDT 2006

Wally,

Width is about 5', width of seamless Sunbrella, which is enough to give the attached side curtains a very healthy pitch,  key design factor.

>>Good questions.  The posted photos have back and sides of tent-like ripstop

>>fore and aft, it can become very cumbersome to set up.  Ask Slim.  The net 
>>result is that it isn't used.  The awning, of Sunbrella, is simply superb 
>>as a water barrier, and is one seven fabric components.  The SS frame is 6'

>>from the top) than a conventional tent side should be unnecessary.

>>Do you see the pitch to sides and stern?  Your email appreciated.  I will
