But won't you get lots off water inside as it will run down all those poles - they stick out and through a large gap.... :?

Very cool, looks pretty stable as well (I guess the 2.5 Tonne base helps)

Which battery pack is the laptop connected to, is it one with a built in Inverter?

:lol: they are not big gaps John but yes you will get a little water in around the pole as it is but it's still far far better than the other side panels and I'm working on something to fill those little gaps as well :whistle:

Steve, the battery pack is one of these :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-900-AMP-1 ... 25762078a2

it has a standard 12v cigar outlet on it which I use for powering my laptop and charging my phone etc saves having leads trailing into the car :thumbright:

Ben, no you can't drive the car away with it set up like that ... its a set up and chill out for a few days config :thumbright:

Well...with the size of that table (its humungous...) I can see why you need all that canvas coverage... :lol:
