  • Shelter Half Kits

    I originally started these shelter halves for inventory, but just don't have the time to finish them. My shortage of time is your gain.

    Here's what you get:
    • One half completely sewn together with all the buttonholes and grommets pre-punched and ready for hand sewing.
    • 23 paper back tin buttons
    • 1 hemp guide rope
    • 2 help tent pin loops


    Quantity: 10. (That's all I have and have no immediate plans to make more.)

    Price: $60 (this is my cost, the blue line fabric, buttons, hemp rope and shipping add up to $60)

    The material for the tents is the blue-line sail cloth custom woven by County Cloth in Ohio. This is really great material so don't miss out.

    Want one, two or all ten? Just give me a call or send an e-mail.

    Re: Shelter Half Kits

    Chris -- I'm mostly all thumbs. Are the button holes already cut/punched and just need to be sewn? Is appropriate thread included or could I buy some from you? I don't own Fred's book -- will you include the specs so I get the buttons in the right place? Or duh should I just line it up with the shelter half I already have?
    Thanks. A nice project to do in preparation for AHT.

      Double-duh -- you note in the opening sentences that the holes are already pre-punched. Save one for me!

        I could be interested Chris. Will you be bringing any with you to Neshaminy? If so, do I get a break since there will be no shipping costs?

          I have constructed two of Chris' kits. They are fantastic and had I not already have two... I'd jump on them. Word of advice... Get two halves and not just one. Sometimes when different people bring halves from different makers... buttons don't line up properly. If you own two... you can carry one yourself and give one to your pard to carry. At $120 for two halves... that's a steal!

              I doubt there will be any kits left as I've already sold 8 kits since I posted this at noon.
