David Todd Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Moorings'................Hope you are, well rested,after your busy long weekend.......... I tested, 6, upright's for the canopy, with a rapid drying glue,..... This was done, to check the height was,equal, to the opposite canopy,on platform 1. But, I knew I should not have done it with only using 6., pair at each end, pair in the middle, it soon waned... 12. upright's with, OPW Trusses, between each pair,would have been more stable. But I did not want to go that far...... ...... Edited May 6, 2014 by David Todd 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
