Is there anything you don't have?

Someone gets an idea, calls everybody, and they all show up the next day to try it out.
The state hates this because they don't bother to get "permits" just to test designs.

(Of course, the only reason "homonym" is spelled correctly is that I have spellcheck.)

There are redundant threads now so I won't dwell on the details, but I have handled 2" of rain in 24 hours, wind and some heat. My suggestion on Monkey Hut Construction is find design features that make it easy to adjust length, width, etc. and get those spring clips if you are trying to make a rain proof hut! Once again thanks you all for your input and fart jokes.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) life isn't that simple. Everyone has a different opinion!! Dang them, dang them all.
I hear:
aluminet is great, it reflects heat
aluminet is good at first, but gets clogged with dirt then is useless
tarps are cheap and work fine
tarps are crap. they're noisy and hold in heat
shade cloth is best, like aluminet but doesn't get clogged and costs less! plus they ahve it at HD or Lowes.
I'm kind of leaning towards shade cloth and handing some sheets. Anyway, putting together the frame today and will go from there.
Thank you all!!!

Don't expect us all to agree on anything. It won't happen.
