Trigger makes excellent tent material.
goes on sale at least once a month at joann fabrics.
the can special order, even at sale prices, any color they carry.
worried about waterproofing?  Behr's waterseal.. NOT
thompson's read the labels.. one, behr, clearly states it will waterproof fabric.
take the finished tent roll it up, stuff it in a bucket big enough
to fit, dump the behr's (several gallons at least) over the tent until it wicketh up NO
more.  get a can of the spray seal for those spots that just refuse to wicketh. <G>
come down and take a peek at baroness Marge's blue and gold tents.  mmmmmm, the latest
incarnation are two yrs old..
only used at pennsic, but their old one has to be at least 5 yrs old and is used all the
time at home in trimaris.
