    No,
    I mean not yet, the wife recently got the idea that one is needed by the little fun pool for the grandkids. But she hasn’t thought it clear through, (as usual). :mad:

    Oh, I’m by no means in favor of getting one. If’n you don’t take it down daily, the weather will thrash it. If you don’t take it down regularly then you get to mow around it. If you do put it up and take it down after every use you spend a lot of time and effort doing such and usually requires more than one person. I’d much rather spend a couple grand on a permanent carport or something similar.
    And as far as building bundles…. I can get up earlier and do it while it’s cooler and then I have shade with my current arrangement, or….. I can wait till later after it cools down and if I have to I can do it by lantern light, or…I can just not be a pansy and pull up my big boy pants and do what needs done when it needs doing.

    Same here, I have gone through a couple "sun sails" though. Not expensive so can replace every other summer or so for some relief from direct sun (no trees here for shade).
