thats slander... take it back... lol
i'll keep an eye on it, got another 3 sheets, its only thin stuff, alot cheaper than a taupalling.
I thought that too, could be quite funny if it gave way under the weight of water. lol Your mum is quite a hero though, congratulate her from me.

and the funniest thing is, that no water gathers on the "canopy" as its so light it just gets blown around and the rain runs off... RESULT

amazing, where would we be without our folks eh .
Or if it rains hard he could use BT`s water syphoner to remove the water from the canopy and therefore will never fill up and collapse on him!!:thumb:

I don't remember anyone ever selling stickers in that font - must be one someone has had printed for themselves. Best self-done one was Anton who did some for the silver GTE he got... www.novaload.net (http://www.novaload.net) written in the same font as the novaload logo. Good job.
PS. Putting up a gazebo is not in the same league as looking around and spotting a few unlikely bits n bobs in an A-Team styleee to create something perfect for the job at hand. Same would go for that plastic sheeting as a make-shift roof, but she used them poles on either side, which is a master-stroke.
