What camping accessories do you really love?

That's why I was wondering about tension and being able to get the stakes into the hub, because you have these pesky wall things that might get in the way.

Fine, MAKE me go look at the link.

But I only skimmed the article and didn't see what you are specifically referring to. But I imagine that putting up the linked pavilion would follow a similar assembly process, with the possible exception of attaching the walls first (since they are used in lieu of guy wires). Essentially, you would have a droopy pavilion until you put in the spokes.
