shade structures in vancouver/victoria

hey there,

i'm looking for some shade. my camp's 3 year old structure met one too many wind storms last year and is now resting in piece(s). and now my camp is dwindling in size, cutting my resources to building/buying a shade structure with others.

are there any BC burners out there with a shade structure who aren't going to the playa this year who might want to lend it out?

thanks,
serendipity

Hey serendipity, we had same problems with camp getting smaller. So, we had to come up with our own shade structure the last few years. Those portable car garages from Costco work pretty good. and they are only 2-3 hundred. They just have to be secured with rebar. I ended up making a big tie dyed cover for ours.

hi there - i managed to make a good kitchen structure out of pvc and 'textile clearance warehouse' specials for way under 200 bucks. it was about 8 ft by6ft - but the dimensions are adjustable - ie - wider = less height.... ya know. anyways - email me if you wanna make it - its EASY!

Last week at our local big box store, the infamous carports were down to $167 or so. And khaki colored, not white like ours is.
