The plan was simple.
Remove bolts, remove fabric, sand and paint everything, -and installation is the reverse of removal as Mr Haynes would say.
Some bits of this went quite well.
Poles were marked up with string and knots.
They were hung up and sanded.
Shiny poles.
Back on the floor for the evening.
They were hung up again to be painted.
Everything looks good so far?
Indeed. And then we got to the fabric. It was dirty and dusty, so I hung it up, gave it a quick beat, then brought it in and hoovered it with the skinny end of the Hoover thing.
Oh dear.
Oh dear, oh dear.
We have two moderately sized children, of 10 and 12. We began to have doubts as to whether this would support their weight.
In the end we did the sensible thing, and spoke to Jim at Dormobile, who was able to order the material for us. They have 20 colours but the down side is that because they are made to order, it will be two weeks before they are here, leaving us a night to fit them and go to busfest the next day.
No pressure then....
