Just about finished.
Tip 6. Have a couple of friends help you pull the tarp up and over the frame. I went solo, and it was far tougher than it needed to be. Using strong cords, I had to pull one corner, then the middle, then the other corner, securing the tarp in steps, over and over, until it was in place. It took about an hour. I still need to bungee all grommets to the frame. I'll get a pic up, in here, when I'm done. For today, I'm resting up. My back is sore, my legs the same, from all of the trips up and down my ladders.
Tip 7. Get a tarp that's about a foot to two feet longer and wider than you think you need. I got a 30X30, and it falls about a foot short of reaching the cross runs on the far side as I failed to take into account the inches added by all of the couplings in the frame. Next time, hopefully no sooner than two years from now, I'll order a 32x32.
