Title: Gazebo
Post by: Elite Pete on 04 January 2008, 13:07:42
The meet season is nearing and the last three meets we've had we have been very lucky with the weather. The last two meets there have been over 30 people attending and if it rained everyone would retreat to their own tents and that would ruin the meet. So what about a kitty for something like this

Just a thought ;)

I belong to a club which has 2 similar items .... pain in the ***** !!

They weigh a ton and need a van to transport them in - main weight is the poles, bloody huge things  .... also need about 8 folks to put up /take down even in zero wind .. in anything more than a breeze double that as the cover acts like a bloody big sail - and I mean BIG.

Lastly, if taken down in the wet, getting them dry is very dificult, we are lucky a member with a factory allows us to hang them over a weekend to dry, however, as they are used at weekends they have to sit "wet" until the next and are already showing signs of algae stains because of this.

Many folks - including myself, have small garden type gazebo's that fit in a car boot, and can be dried in a normal garage, if folks took their own and they were erected side by side it would make more sense... IMHO
