Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I have an EZ-Up. I bought it at BJ's earlier this year for about $200. This is the newest version of this particular tent and I like it for two main reasons: 1) It came with 4 sides. Previous ones only came with 3, so you had to buy another side (at the cost of $99!) to close the tent up. 2) The new one has a center support. The coolest thing about this is that I can open up the tent by myself. I open it up as much as I can by wiggling it, then I crawl underneath and push up by that center support and it opens up beautifully. Now, putting it up on grass is easy - use the stakes that are included. The sand bags that come with it were not enough to keep my tent from trying to blow away on the street, though (not good, because I anchor my shelving to the sides of the tent!). So we went to Home Despot and bought two 2 " PVC pipes and 16 end caps and two bags of cememt and made some weights. We cut the pipes into 2' lenghts, capped one end of 8 of them, filled them with cement and capped the other end. That only took one bag, so we dug around in the shop until I found some 3 " PVC pipe, which we cut into about 3' lengths and also filled with cement (without caps). Now I use two of the 2 " pipes and 1 of the 3 " pipes on top of the half-filled sand bag and bungee corded to the legs. Since I started doing that, the tent has not budged. :^) HTH!

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Hello, I am new to the list and electrosensitive. Does anybody know anything about the canopies against electrosmog which are offered on the website below.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Such canopies don't shield magnetic component of radiation, (for example coming from earby poverlines) but for everything else they can do most of the job (except regarding non measurable radiation about what I don't know anything). But they differ very much by price and by characteristics. It is important when you compare them to notice that 99% mitigation doesn't mean much, it's only 100 times.. I have just added to our Links section, to Measuring and mitigation folder, both your link regarding canopies and a new one, www.electrosmog.de (I think they have not yet added the canopies at the site, but they do sell them in a range of characteristics and prices, but their main products are meters).
