| I haven't had a tent with a frame in 40 years. Have you considered Plastic tubing. All of mine are fiberglass and hooked by bungie cords. What are you looking for? |

| Well I mean the kind like what you said. I have to have something that is flexable . We have the same kind of tent too, but I want one like it but where maybe the fabric has been damaged and some one just wants to get rid of it. We still use our so I can't just tear it up to do what I want and I just thought maybe someone out there had one they wanted to get rid of. |

| Our tent has a fixed frame. It is shaped like a house.  Click the image for an enlarged view.

| We use to have one of those too but we wore it out many years ago. If I had known at the time I would have kept the frame cause it would have done what I need it for. We have a big dome type tent now that we use for camping. I keep talking about camping and that makes me wish more that spring was here,LOL. Oh I'll find one some time in the near future, at a yard sale or fleamarket and I'll get it. |

| No I haven't. I didn't realize finding one would be this hard LOL. Usually some one has got one that the shell has worn out and they just throw it away, buttttttttttttttttt. |

| I want to make a small green house out of it. I figured if I could find a frame that was anywhere from 7 to 10 feet wide and at least 7 foot center I could put plastic on it and make me another GH. What do you think? Good idea? |

| Fabulous idea. I saw where someone on the tomato forum (?) used a frame and bubble wrap! Made a nice snug greenhouse o extend the season, then could just be peeled off as it warmed up. We gardeners are clever people, especially when $$$-challenged!
I hope you will keep us posted! |
