In reply to: Re: I guess it's the poles that make me uncertain. . . posted by Willowhawk on September 5, 2003 at 13:06:05:

I love the "walls"! how they bellow out like that, so cool! very
inviting! And are you a seamstress too? I love the what you've
done with the front of the roof (those triangular hanging things),
so neat! One question. . . what do you mean by "tab top walls that
slide in"? Yea, it does sound daunting. . .I'm actually trying to
make a booth to set up for the winter. . I know, very different
BUT. . . I will be setting up across from the largest university in
the country, University of Texas at Austin, so I'm hoping that the
cool weather will be neutralized by the quantity of people. . .
thanks for sharing! Sincerely,
Phoenix Tatiana

: Well unless you like the look of plastic walls....get some
cloth! :)
:
: The link below is my booth at an SCA event...a little worse for
: wear, and the internal set up has changed a bit. I could really
: give a hoot about being 'period' because I need something
: functional, easy to set up by myself, and can be packed in/on a
: car. I would love a period tent but that's an extravagance for
the
: future. I can't take a period tent to a mundane event, but I can
: dress up/dress down my ez-up.
: 90% of the cloth for my tent came from the 1$ bin at WalMart.
Other
: pieces were picked up at thrift stores or I had already had
: them...with the exception of the Lakshmi tapestry (and the Shiva
: that isn't pictured) were gifts from a friend. For seating I used
: foldable camping furniture which I have sew slip covers for.
: When the walls were first sewn there were ties at the tops and
: sides...I tied the walls on all last year. Got tired of that so
: this year I made velcro tabs and sewed all those on...time
consuming
: to do in one sitting, but it makes quicker set up/tear down...even
: trade for time I think.
: There is a ceiling inside my booth which completely covers all the
: hardware...just because I didn't like the look of my booth without
: it.
: I used to sleep behind the Lakshmi tapestry...it's used to wall
off
: the back half of my booth...and work out of the front 5'x10'. But
I
: got a twin camp cot (air mattress on a scissor action frame) that
is
: set up like a chaise and now it's also used for people needing
: bellies or having their feet comfortably done (I also sleep on it
at
: night). Now I just leave a little room behind the tapestry for
: hidden storage.
: What I have set up is a travelling living room that has a lot of
: atmosphere for people to be comfortable in. When we are doing
: camping events it does become an evening hang out for dinner.
:
: Now...with all this said...this is what you can do with an EZ-UP.
: With a tinkertoy/conduit set up...for walls you can easily make
tab
: top walls and slide those on very quickly.
: Another fun idea is to purchase painters drop cloth/canvas and use
: those for walls. You can always paint designs on them. In the
: picture there is a little bit of a booth on the left side...they
: painted the canvas to look like stone.

: It may all sound daunting but winter is coming...many little
: projects to keep a person going!
