MYOG: AlpineMid (SoloMid)

I will but in.

Everything is pretty cheap.
Household grade tyvek is the cheapest but heavier.
1.25 oz tyvek is $5/yd
Silnylon 2nds is around $7 a yard.
Mesh about $5-6

The lighter stuff like cuben and spinaker gets a lot more expensive.

Nylon webbing,zippers are all cheap.

With no floor, looks like about maybe 6-8 yards of material just guessing to me. A floor would add another 3 yards.

If i remember right it was around $250. Thom?

My sewing skills do not meet my expectations for quality so I elected to work with Tim M. to make the AlpineMid.

Tim was very fair with the cost of his work and he was both helpful and patient as I worked through the Version 1 prototype (as pictured on Tim's site).

With the design changes that I will incorporate into Version 2 and with Tim having worked with me through Version 1 I think the price will be somewhat improved.

I will work out the details/changes with Tim and when Version 2 is complete I will post pictures and a cost breakdown.

Pitch height is variable and with adequate pole length the shelter can be pitched off the ground a few inches.
