        Your neighbors poles will be leaning soon!
        Planning on 24" deep now. I'll take it down when not in use. It doesn't have to be crazy tight.

          Ive wanted to find an old RV sun shade / canopy, the roll up kind. Mount it to the back of the house.

              About two years ago I bought 2 cedar elms that were about 12' tall already. They were about $100 each (on sale). They are probably 16' tall and 6-7' wide now.

                    I have the same thing. I put in a pool. Jump in when it gets too hot.

                          Look around on there. One was $36.99 this is the same company same thing for less. Can't find the difference. If it sucks then amazon pays shipping back. No loss. Good reviews too!!

                            Angle some rebar into the concrete or out an upside down "T" at the bottom. Something to hold it straight.
                            Might as well run electricity to each pole for lights speakers. Need a couple beer holders on each post. Maybe a wrap around shelf for a plate of BBQ.

                            Might as well right...?

                              When you figure out what you want then call me. I've got sq. tube here at the shop and can cut it to length. Just pay what I paid and I buy at a discount so as cheap as you will probably find. If you need any thing welded, I'll do it for free.
