I made some modifications to the frame of the side tent for the VW bus, because the original design was just too big at 8 foot wide. I decided to scale it back to a more stock size of about 6 1/2 feet wide. So after cutting the pole again, I laid out the Sunbrella material and started sewing it up. Some tassels and a bit of parachute cord, and then I had it all done.Now I needed to make a duffle bag to store and transport the tent in, so I found this very big top-loading duffle bag and used beeswax to water-proof it. First, you melt the wax and then brush it on the material. Once it is covered with wax, you melt it into the material with the heat gun. It really works well!
