Medieval Pavilions
Ian:
So... I'm thinking about... just thinking mind you, about toying with the idea of possibly getting a pavilion....
I know nothing about them. It seems Panther Pavilions are a reputable company to go through, and I think several of you own one from them? Can someone give me a pavilion primer? I've browsed their site and they have several different styles and then each has like 8 options for materials and things like that. What should I be looking for?
The one that caught my eye was the French Double-Belled Wedge which can be seen here with a bonus canopy thingy....
What do you guys own and what do you recommend as far as coverings? Canvas, sunforger (I have no idea what that is)... etc? Also, when these things are fully dismantled, how much room do they take up in vehicle?
Sir Wolf:
i have a panther Geteld. i haven't had it out in years. but when i used it i loved it. super strong seems, great material. great customer service. i got to pick it up since i had a delivery near their store.
Thorsteinn:
What time period & place are you looking for? How much stuff are you looking to cover? Whats your price range?

Hundred Years War, England, specifically second half of the 14th Century. I'll consider things for around $1,000 or less (not necessarily a hard limit, but not spending 2 grand on a tent...) Big enough for 2 people and a dog to sleep.
The photo I linked is around $600 for the tent itself and another $300 or so for the canopy... I'm assuming that includes the poles but I don't know for certain. Price varies depending on material used.
Sir Wolf:
i made my own poles. are you thinking of the ground skirting or ground cloth? i did not get either as the skirting isn't something i think is really period. but to each his own, it does help with rain and ground water, and wind too comign around the edges, I just packed straw on teh inside edge as well as diggin a trench around the outside edge when i thought it was going to rain. i've always liked the double bell wedge. classic look. i think you'll be happy with it.
