The title did not read "PRIMARY use for a pavilion tent". ;)

Which would we all know to be Snoozing, Boozing, & Courtly fun w/ one's lady. Recommend a porta-privy for other activities.
Lord Dane:
I made my own pavilion battle tent from a 10' x 10' party-tent and added the trimmings & fixings to accommodate my navy-blue & yellow-gold colors. Easier than having a time-period one made to every fine detail by a skilled craftsman & at a great expense (Could range from $500-basic to $3000-more elaborate). I used colored para-cord to act as my tent-lines, and improved a light-weight, black-colored misquito mesh that serves as both bug-barrier & privacy lining. I made a 2 inch diameter hole in the tent' center where I post my colored-pennant to fly above my tent. Still working on my tent though. I'll add pics when complete.
Sir Edward:
I'd love to see pictures. Sometimes modification of modern gear to look more period can make for a decent, cost-effective compromise.

Indeed. Looks like a Maypole at one of the Ren-Faires. I'm certain their daughter loved it!!! Excellent effort on their parts.
