Read as much of this as I could before my eyes started glazing over. Where are you all sourcing your bamboo? Is there a particular type and diameter I should look for? Just moved to Utah from California and I'm not sure what options I have around here.
Where do you get dow rods that large?
It’s only been ten years since this thread had been started and I’m only now getting around to building these? Ha! Interesting concept that has sure taken off! I built two now in week. One from 2x4s that I made into 2x2s that have the tops angle cut to press against each other so no anti leg spreader lines are needed. This is my full sized model for camping on the beach but does fit on the back of my sea kayak. Parts are 6’9” long and the ridge pole is long enough for my tarp. My second is a bamboo model and shorter and lighter specifically built to watch SpaceX Starship launches at Boca Chica Texas and I’m now ready for SN9! I still want to make an ever smaller and lighter model and do one out of aluminum tubing.
Now if I can figure out how to attach photos using my iPhone......
