The dayshade lives!
Hubbyfink and I erected the dayshade behind the neighbor's house (the land is slightly flatter) this morning so we (meaning he) could spray the shade down with Canvak. I snapped photos before the spraying began.
We also worked on the clothing rack by cutting down the uprights and rod to the correct lengths and staining the rod. I need to look for the appropriately sized bit to make the holes for the rod, make those holes, give everything a good sanding and then stain the uprights. At this rate, the only Pennsic project left will be painting the pavilion. Oof.

Dayshade front, 6/13/09. The design on the valance is composed of two stencils: the blue curliques and the gold medallions. The curlique stencil has lotus flowers as well, but I taped over them. |

Dayshade side, 6/13/09. The poles in front are 7' and the poles in back are 6.5'. With ropes, the shade's footprint is approx 16'x16'. |
