jerry-rig of the day: stabilizing crossbars on cheap canopy
11x11 cheapie, crossbars are cheap, bending with a breeze.
i jerry-rigged them with zipties and plastic hangers and tied them with ropes last summer. just thought i'd see if anybody had any brilliant cheap ideas as i modify up this summer.
i contemplated buying some collapsible tent-poles and zip tying those, which i think would keep it from completely folding under normal circumstances, but i'm not sure it will add enough strength for the cost -- because i haven't looked yet!
