5 yds of spinntex: what shelter to make?

I'm just finishing a design for a one man tent. I used Google sketchup to design it. Once it's complete I'll post it and you can decide if it's something you are interested in.

I'm not sure how wide spinntex is or how big of a mid you want, but the shelter in my avatar right now uses about 5 yards of fabric and it is plenty big for one person. You should be able to come up with something.

I'd be interested in your design if it does not rely on the use of treking poles.
I have drawn a design of my own but am concerned that it may be a bit too ambitious. I will have to make a full size skeleton in order to make accurate patterns for the panels but I am more worried about the sewing!

Stuart,
Tried making skeletons with old tent poles, and discovered that even if they are only slightly flexible, they will distort when the fabric is upholstered over the frame. Result – panels were wrong shape.
Now I use wood frames that are built rock solid. Of course this is for us techno-challenged ones who have not mastered Cadware. But it works for me.
Some good pictures are posted by Roger on bushwalking.org.au in the DIY – My Designs – Summer Tents section. Worth a read, I think.

Peter,
Where did you get your Spinntex? The thru-hiker.com site says they are out of stock. I emailed them about a week ago to ask when a new supply would be coming but, I haven't received a reply.

thruhiker has been "out of stock" for maybe a year

I read somewhere that they have a hard time manufacturing it, but then people sell products with it so ???

You can get polyester spinnaker fabric with DWR finish from http://www.seattlefabrics.com/marine.html. They don't recommend it for tents because it's loud when it flaps in the wind. 0.75 ounce per yard^2. I would think that DWR would provide enough rain protection.
