Medieval Pavilions

[Lord Dane]

Huzzah! Can't wait to see the finished assembly!

then while you have down time, paint your poles. trust me. it will seal them and it will give an extra flair that will make the inside of your tent pop!

Then some nice curtains, rugs and a few throw pillows oh yes and SHRUBBERY! Lots of shrubbery! 

No!! NO shrubbery than you need to hire Julio for landscaping. Who can afford that???

Something nice. And not too expensive. And with a path! A path!

Well if you are going all out, how about a moat & retracting drawbridge. And make sure that the moat is attached to a deep water source abundant in fishing for my needs.

Paint instead of stain/seal? Any specific color to use, or avoid?

[Sir Edward]

I think hot pink with purple polka-dots would look great.

I think hot pink with purple polka-dots would look great.

Indeed.... very masculine!  A true sign of a knight's virility!

[Sir Wolf]

stain isn't period. i have seen lots of reenactors paint theirs. whatever your fancy. look up some paintings and see what you can see.  i've seen red, green, multi colored etc

Not to mention a knight's martial prowess because to still be alive with THOSE color combinations obviously means he is one mean S.O.B.

. I think stain is just brown paint.

Black is probably out? I got black trim on the tent, since my heraldry is black and white...

[Sir Edward]

I would think black would be OK. If it's anything like the dyes, various kinds would exist. The more durable dyes were more expensive, but existed. So I would think it would be similar for paint?

I'm good with that. Black it is!

[Sir Wolf]

hey i said the same thing but my post didn't show up yesterday. weird

flats no glossy and i think you'd be ok ooooooooo can't wait to see it

[Sir James A]

Well, we had our first tent raising, and learned a few things. I'm very happy with it; it feels much bigger than I thought it would. We'll get it completely set up at Days of Knights, but for the test run, it went great. Minor issues with flooring and such, but confident the furniture I want to take will fit.

[Sir Wolf]

wow thats awesome. the colored poles add so much flavor! can't wait to see it all set up.
