Take Me...To the next Level!

[etherial]

rosinavs and I are thinking of taking our relationship to the next level. That's right. We're thinking of buying a pavilion together. There are a couple of things we haven't decided on yet, but the biggest question that we want input on has to do with decorating the damned thing. This is going to be a lot of white canvas, so judicious application of color is important. For reference, my favorite color is green and hers is purple. My arms are (the as of yet unapproved) Gules, in annulo 3 Goutty de Poix in annulo, at fesse point a triangle ployé inverted Sable. Hers are Azure, a pile issuant from sinister base Purpure fimbriated Or.

For the easily bored, that means we like black, blue, gold, green, purple, and red.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but we are buying a pre-sewn tent from Panther. Sewing a pavilion of this scale by Pennsic is not within the scope of this exercise (though in partial answer to Eudocia's question, I might someday consider sewing a smaller period tent for weekend trips).

The questions at hand are

•whether people feel the attic/headspace of seven foot poles is worth the hassle of needing taller people to help put it up

•whether people feel the security of pre-built poles and ropes outweighs the extra cost (we already feel the security of pre-sewn tent outweighs the extra cost)

•which hue of free trim we should go with

•what interesting ideas people have for decorating the tent

Ah - I get it now - sorry.

Pay for poles and ropes. You could make your own, but then you'd invariably have to replace them as they warped anyway, so if you have the money now, buy the good stuff once, instead of the cheap stuff over and over again.

Attic space/head space for folks other than yourselves is NOT worth it. If you are tall enough to need it, get it, or if you have someone you can count on to help put it up, who will likely also be IN said tent a lot once it is set up, then get it, otherwise, don't bother - lots of hassle for little benefit.
