[Ansteorra] New 10x20 garage pavillions for $85 at Walmart

[Stefan li Rous]

"Don't forget the foot pads"  From where? Lowes? from King Canopy or  
Shelter Logic? Or somewhere else? Is this just something to keep the  
ends of the hollow poles from digging into the ground?

What have people done to make these things look like something other  
than, er, modern, white garages?

Right now we have a nice medieval style pavilion, but I'm keeping my  
eyes open for the future. (and gathering info for a possible  
Florilegium file. :-) )
