Post by: John H on February 05, 2015, 10:02:37 AM: Thanks Scot.I had made the posts 7ft and the ridge pole 12ft.Hopefully the wind dies down enough to set it up over the next few days.I will then modify to suit.

The bag you have shown are a terrific bag (and cheap) and should out live us all. It`s a great idea to use them for tent storage.

I have a 11x11 in one of the bags being sort, I`ll post some pictures of it when out of lockdown and i can get up to Deniliquin.

Wait out.
