10ft by 10ft square
3/4" PVC pipe, or 1"
Tees at intersections, not glued, maybe some light glue
2ft rebar, 1/2 pounded in Playa or 3ft rebar for the 1.5ft riser version
bed sheets with zip ties holding them on

Always remember- the winds can hit 70mph+ and your shade structure needs to survive that.

Just curious.

Its playa tested and approved. I've used mine for three years straight and had NO issues with it.
You almost have the same design anyways. My MH has a floor plan of 12x10 with the ten foot section being the length and twelve being the width. I can stand up in it and I am 6' even.
