Weather Proofing
« on: Jul 25, 2017, 10:57 AM »
I was wondering what people treat there pop up (canvas style shelter) with? my situation is I got a clam adventure pop up replacement cover by accident and I cant return it, and they don't make a frame for it anymore, so I was thinking of making a wooden frame and building  it on a skid and leaving it out most of the winter. like a light weight shelter I can leave out,  but need ideas on weather proofing it better!!!

There are many different types of water proofers out there.... Do a search on tent sealer..

In regards to your frame idea, you may want to think about using conduit instead... just an idea
