Greetings Clan Peeps!

I just got off the horn with Panther, and know that delivery time on pavilions is down to around 4-5 weeks at this time.
Question is - are we still considering the purchase of a new Kitchen Pavilion, and if so, what size exactly and what sort of canvas? (there's 4 different types, one of which we are NOT getting) I'm running off my (bad) memory here, but I believe the one we have is around 10 x 20? And that the consensus was that wider might be better than longer? (of course, that is usually a personal preference, and none I would know anything of..) ;o)

Here's a few sizes to consider, all no poles, ropes, etc. - JUST the canvas:

12 x 18' - 7' walls - reg. 10 oz. Sunforger - no kit - $995
14' x 18' - same deal - $1100
15' x 21' - same deal - $1150

Custom sizes would be somewhere around the same, they don't charge extra but it might take a little more time. These are the catalog sizes and retail prices.

All of these would include the 7' walls which come in 4 pieces and can be arranged to suit as there are no real "corners" to contend with. Walls CAN BE used as a "shed roof" - that is, can be pulled out as a sloped roof on an end or a side and supported with more poles/ropes if desired. Which might make a narrower tent yet more livable than a wider one - and cheaper. And of course we would be getting my price, NOT the prices which I've listed. (can subtract 15-20% off those)
We would have to figure something out with either shipping or sales tax if picked up, and I'd prefer not to have this charged to my acct. for my taxes and stuff. (a cash deal) That way I can give Clan my actual cost, rather than needing to keep a bit...

Time will be going up for delivery in a short period here. And if we're not doing this now, no biggie. I just wanted to throw it back out there since we've discussed it a couple times now.

Cheers everyone! Cowboy / Viktor / Vinnie / etc.

OH! And if anyone would be interested in a nice Regent style pavilion, I know someone who has one with only 5 Wars' use, no other events - with a matching, dagged fly and full setup kit, the larger size (like Fey and Tony's, but with 6' walls, not 7') - and she is asking just $700 for it. Not a bad price - but there'd be shipping. Call or write regular e-mail if you're interested. Canvas is in in N.J. - poles and kit at Pennsic in storage. She takes care of her stuff. Has one small repair on the roof form a pole-pin that was patched from the inside and went through all last War with no leaks.

Yo!

While it would be nice, I just don't see us being able to afford it right now. Camp fee certainly can't cover it, and no one is in good enough financial shape right now to afford a levy. Your dimensions are correct, the current fly is 10'x20', and a new one could not be any smaller than that...

I like the "shed" idea a lot. With only a slightly larger pavilion (or even the same size, or heck even the current one) it would maybe fit a little better with an east wing/north wing opposed to trying to wrangle a 20x20 into what we thought would be a tight fit.

But yes, we poor.

I asked for a guesstimate anyhow on a couple of items:

A 12'x20' - 7' walls - regular Sunforger. Prices for both the roof with 4 walls, and for the roof only.
And for a 14'x20' - same deal.

Just for an idea for later or whatever... - I had 'em on the phone anyhow.

Hi again!

Ok, just got the call back from Panther.
A Marquee with standard roof pitch, 7' walls, no sod cloth and made form regular Sunforger 10oz.
- retail price for whole thing (roof and walls) would be $1092.
- retail price for the roof only, $655.20
Now, we can deduct between 15 and 20% off these prices depending on how it's paid and stuff so long as I wouldn't need to worry about sales or my taxes on it.

For future reference so long as prices don't go up.

Cheers!
