Fantastic idea!
I hadn't seen that mentioned anywhere, nor have I seen it in use at any events.
It makes a lot of sense and is multipurpose. Even in the cool coastal air, it tends to get too warm under the canopy with 3 sides up and the sun (there are rumors of that yellow ball, but few have seen it around here...) is shining.
Plus, I think that it would add to a better overall look of the booth.
I'm sold! It will be my next purchase...
Thank you very much, Paula - you're knowledge and experience is much appreciated!

Paula,
Thanks for posting this information. What size bungee balls do you order and how many does it take for the tarp? This is something that I will be ordering very soon!

Paula,
Thanks I just placed my order. I went ahead and got two of the tarps (we have 2 E Z Ups) just in case we use both and ordered 50 of the bungee balls. I think I am ready for the fall/winter shows.

I got the ceiling tarp, today and, of course, I did a practice run.
Went on easily - following Paula's installation procedure ;D - and looks great!
Now, back to tackling the sidewall and zipper issue. I'm getting a very strong feeling that gorilla tape is going to be the answer - never to be taken apart again...

My hubbys favorite fix it is still "duct tape" as for me, just give me a hot glue gun or a needle and thread!!

I will have to agree with your hubby, duct tape or even better, gorilla tape.
I would have still used the gorilla tape over the top of a glue gun or sewing fix - so I eliminated a step. ;D
I could have sworn I saw a photo of 3 rolls of gorilla tape in this thread... Dave?

You did see the gorilla stuff. I had the picture on my website and it was eating up 145K bandwith each time it was loaded. Have to put it someplace else.

I used my pretty white tarp inside my canopy this past weekend and it really does make a difference...... Thank you Paula. For those of you that have not purchased one, you really will be surprised what a difference it makes. We watched the canopys around us "shake" and ours was just fine.

Paula,
There are times that we do get those wonderful Santa Anna winds, but not often. They really are horrible...... Where we were this past weekend only had 10 - 20 mph winds.

Ok... I really put this to the test this past weekend, rain and wind. It was wonderful!!!! All of the vendors that saw it are getting them also. It was so funny to have them come over every morning to see how the inside of our canopy was (nice and dry thank you Paula!). I can not say enough good about how this works!!!!

You are most welcome Susie. Glad you found it helpful and thrilled that other exhibitors you met this weekend are going to use it. The best way to know if you want something is to see how it works for someone else. You proved it to them this weekend. Way To Go  The ceiling tarp will serve you for many, many, many years. All the best to you at your upcoming shows. Purse Stuff - Paula I think if I had made up "kits" of them I could have sold out.... Susie |
