The winds taken it toll

Post by smile0784 » Fri Jul 19, 2019 7:23 pm

Noticed the other day that the canopy was flapping around a bit more then normal after.the storm went through a few.days back.

Got up there.today and it's torn to shreds on 2 sides and the stitching had come undone on other sides s9 it much holding it up.

Man was I pissed.
I need a shed to put the old girl in.

I didn't have the clears up so there ok.

So the binimi is.buggers and so is the extended back shade.

Do I bother replacing them or just get a.bit colder?
Or just do the binimi so i can put the clears up?

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them
