Work & Play Strength
At our races, we have three church services on Sunday. Our 12'x12' EZ Up is getting too small. We're looking at getting a 20'x30' pole tent.
Pole tents sometimes take several people to set up. Usually you need four or five to hold the poles in place before strapping them down. So I have a crazy idea for this.
Work & Play TTs have aluminum framed walls with plywood and an aluminum roof. If I were to get a 30WRS and have two anchor rings installed 30' apart near the roof, I could hook two corners of the pole tent to the camper. Then I could just stretch the tent out and put the opposite poles up one at a time. Once all four corners are up, I could put the center pole in place and be done.
So basically, it would be a 20'x30' pole tent fastened to the side of the camper. Two poles typically used would be replaced with rings at the top of the wall of the camper. It would look like a pole tent sitting directly beside the camper.
Common sense would need to prevail obviously. If a big storm is coming, the tent comes down. If this is feasible, I need to create a way to keep rain from pouring down the side of the camper if possible. But the big concern is the stress on the camper. Under normal use in fair weather, I'm thinking this would work. I wouldn't try it with anything but something like a Work & Play.
Here's a typical tent of what we're considering. Pole Tent
