Well I got my 4 PVC cut them to 6 feet. Got two hundred feet of rope and my two silver tarps. Even got a bit to drill the holes. But I still am unable to figure out where to drill the holes for the lines that will keep the poles from falling. (also got four 24" rebars to hold the PVC (1.5") Almost t...

Hi, thanks so much for your help! Sure... if you can send me a drawing of this structure....(shade canopy) that would be great.

"but basically you need to get two lines, sepreated by about 45-60 degrees staked down." Sorry, I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this sort of stuff. I'm actually amazing my friends with what I'm doing for this event! But don't understand 45 - 60 degrees??? Do you mean that I drill my holes about 10 ...

What I thought would work would be to tie rope from top one PVC pole to the next. Like a clothes line. Then tie my Tarp over the "clothes line". One for the roof and one for the side facing the morning sun. Not sure how to secure the PVC poles with guide lines. Guess I will drill holes on each pole ...

Hey there, I'm in the process of figuring out how to do a shade canopy. Not the dome type. I've checked the Burning Man site for instructions and only came on Buckminister's dome. I just got two 8 x 10 tarps that is gray silver on one side and black on the other. It comes with reinforced side holes....

Wondering if there will be events at Burning Man that are designed for folks never before experiencing Burning Man. Events that cater to questions and thoughts and possibly of social significance for someone never before experiencing this kind of event. Maybe even support qroups?

I heard that there were to be some events for folks never been to Burning Man. Does anyone know about these? Thanks

Your all wonderful for helping me with your suggestions. All good ideas. And especially appreciate my hearing impaired burners! Your all super and I look forward to running into you all! XXX

Anyone out there with experience and suggestions for the Hearing Impaired. Wearing Hearing Aids are the only way I can be apart of conversations. My concern with the dust is that they may ruin these expensive electronic devices. Any suggestions? Googles for the ears? LOL

Hi everyone.... I wear hearing aids. I'm wondering if anyone out there has info on this topic. It's tough one for me because without the hearing aids I have to keep asking folks to repeat themselves... and miss much of the conversations. So wondering what other hearing impaired folks have done?

With regard to film ASA any suggestions with the bright sunlight? Curious if anyone has suggestions with their own personal experience on this topic. Wanting maximum versitility on film what are the suggestions? Gosh... loading cameras must be a trick also. :?:

Where in San Francisco can I get rebars? And how do you use them for tent stakes? Not even sure what they look like. Guess they are metal stakes. But don't they need a curve part to prevent the tent loops from flying off? How expensive are they? Thanks for your support

Wondering how people have taken care of their cameras. How dumb of me would it be to bring a good camera vers a disposable camera? I know about plastic wrap and the zip bags. But like to know about everyone's experiences with bringing cameras. Thanks

Sorry everyone, need to be a bit more patient... clearly you're all great people and I appreciate that. Will be more mindful before I take up any more of your space... sorry again...being a new comer... the last thing I want to do is annoy. "we learn fast"

And Thanks Philospher on your wisdom "Imagining ways of being self-sufficient in a harsh environment is certainly part ...

Anyone know what good food to bring? Or which theme camps provides food? :?:

First timer and haven't a clue as to what to bring. Does anyone have any healthy diet to suggest out there on the playa? Not much of a camper so this is new also. But got my sleeping bag and tent... It's so hard to imagine how I'm going to get all my food and water out there. Is there a theme camp t...

New to Burning Man. Wondering about any suggestions anyone have about where or how I can get a used bicycle. And cheap would be good as I understand the desert really breaks down the bicycle. Any thoughts? :?:
