For Sale: Custom ‘MegaMid’

One of a kind, handcrafted, pyramid shelter. I built it myself for beach camping (works great). It is constructed from ‘Sunbrella’ material and Seattle Fabric’s top of the line bug netting. It’s big and tall [12’x12’ footprint]. The design is floorless and the screen rolls up and has paracord ties. The 3-piece steel pole fits sideways in the truck bed. I would prefer pick-up near Pittsburgh, but MAY consider shipping (you pay). I put real time into making it and used quality materials.


$600 firm, take it or leave it.

 

That's pretty awesome. GLWS.

 

Thanks, we’ll see who wants it…. it’s great for a variety of things and handles a lot of wind, rain, sun, bugs, etc., but is still pretty simple and straightforward to set up.

 

Sunbrella is expensive fabric. You’ve priced this thing to be a steal of a deal. GLWS.

 

and there’s a lot of it…

and a bunch of 100% nylon thread and webbing…

Next time use bonded polyester thread. Fyi.

 

Yeah, I’m gonna say the stuff I used has a higher strength, albeit less UV resistance, but I’d have to check the numbers…

 

I’ll stand corrected, but I’d also say it would depend on the size and the quality of the thread.

 

I've owned and ran a marine canvas shop in Seattle for close to 20 years. I've gone through more than 20,000 yards of Sunbrella. I sew more than 5 miles of thread a year. I just randomly clicked on this thread and saw something I knew a little about. ;-). Good job on the tent, I'd charge a helluva lot more than $600 for that, and there's no better material for that purpose.
