I bought them from a local lumberyard this year instead of Home Depot and noticed a definite increase in quality and bend-ability.<br /><br />Last year I built set up the ridgepole first using stands on the deck. That allowed me to anchor a piece of strapping at the bottom and then bend it into shape and secure it to the ridgepole From there I added the second 'layer' of strapping that fixed the bend permanently. That's roughly the shape I duplicated on all of my frames this year. <br /><br />I love the design and I think the total cost is about $200 for the frame plus another $140 for the new heavy duty tarp. Its hard to beat that.Brittonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800939129950840928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250252038731612943.post-11041857390343435022009-11-04T22:24:56.128-05:002009-11-04T22:24:56.128-05:00What size is the strapping that you used to constr...What size is the strapping that you used to construct the frames?

Wh...Seeing your frames has me feeling like a dope. Why I haven't constructed something similar for the A30 so I can actually get some work done is beyond me. I've got to get going on that. Even though the boat is on my property, it's tucked between the house and a stand of spruce trees, so space is tight here as well. Your modified bows just might be the ticket. Thanks! Looks great, by the way.Ariel | CD 36https://www.blogger.com/profile/08181212143350202096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250252038731612943.post-9107162811845361792009-11-03T10:59:46.019-05:002009-11-03T10:59:46.019-05:00You're making me nostalgic for my shed, man!
