PE - new to list

this is not period... but here is another idea...
I bought a 14foot diameter screen room at Target.. and made a cover for it.  I normally live in Trimaris.. it is hot, mosquitoes and all that rot.
what I did, was to make a 'roof' that fits over the aluminum poles and hides them... where the sides are, I made solid covered 'walls'...there are six screen panels on this
tent/screen room.  Four of them I have used indian print bedspreads to make as iff there were curtains, gathers.. two single spreads per 'window'.  For the doors I used
decorating gauze in dark green [my colors were greens and blues]
to be on the safe side, I bought a 2x2 pole and turned it to the centerpole just to give the tent an added strength..
my tie downs are those screw in dog leash thingy's... and bungee cords.. btween the tent and the outer walls that hide the tie downs...this saves me space at pennsic or gulf
wars.  I also do a criss cross tie over the top of the tent before I put on my covers...I cross to the center, make a loop around the center then back down the other side, so I
have a total of 4 ties that keep my tent in place and hopefully on the ground in rain storms...so far soooo good. <G>

Watch such places as target, and thrift stores for ideas and things to use... baskets to hold small objects.. plastic square tables that break down into a flat space to store
and carry, cover them with clothes or
you can make covers especially for them... they fit nicely beside chairs.. those nice canvas chairs that are so popular now.. cover them with indian print bedspreads to hide
them...   there are lots of things one can do.
