Mick,thanks for your photos,especially with the canvas up.They do look impressive.I have made a similar set up for mine,based off a 3.6x3.6mtr tarp bought off ebay.,some velcro and webbing etc and hours on a sewing machine(about $250 all up).I made it to be an easy 1 man set up.I agree raising the frame is a pain,Im 5"6 so dont need to worry about it.Marking poles etc with a texta is a must do for ease of setting up.Cheers Hallsy.
