I'd love to make one of these: http://home.adelphi.edu/~sbloch/sca/...kuijt.article/

nah... you don't want a center pole. Too hard to fit the bed in. (not to mention getting into and out of the bed.

innerSpaceman · 03-31-2009, 06:36 PM

But it would make for a great stripper tent.

GusGus · 03-31-2009, 06:45 PM

of course you still have poles. just not in the center (more room for an audience)

I *have* made one of those, Morrigoon. It's in my garage right now. Best. Tent. Ever. and I can assure you that the center pole is not a problem whatsoever. I can still fit a queen-size bed on one half of the tent (with room left over) and the second half is open space. And that is for the small version! You can store stuff on the spokes and hang curtains from them. It is very sturdy in a high wind. And there are no guy wires to trip passers-by.

I have yet to meet a tent that didn't need guy wires

I have yet to meet a guy who didn't love tent wires.

Provide me with the ground space and I'll set it up for you. It has withstood some substantial storms.
