Interest in Silpoly pyramid kits?

What digital format are your patterns in, Nick?  Would you mind sharing?

Sounds like something for me. Sewing together pre cut pieces would be a good time saver. I’m interested and even like the color.

Good timing.
Within the last month my wife got a new sewing machine.
I’m definitely interested.

I’d be in too, been wanting to learn how to sew.

I’d be interested as well.

I’d be interested. I have friends and family who have expressed interest in having me commission them a shelter and I could certainly make this work for them.

I’d do it, too – sounds like a great idea for someone like me!

One of the factors that kept me from making a pyramid tent myself a little while ago, was partly a severe lack of working space to cut out all the necessary panels.

So, i think it’s a good idea.  At this point, not sure i would buy the kit myself since i bought a silnylon pyramid tent awhile back.  Actually i might, and sell the pyramid tent, which so far hasn’t been used at all. While i’m not keen on the greater stretching and moisture absorbing of the silnylon, i do like the greater strength and durability for less weight as compared to polyester though.

I would be into that for sure.  Let me know the details when you have them.  Thanks!

It sounds like fun, I’d be interested in a kit.

Well, sounds like I should go forward with this idea!  I’ll need to find the time to make another mid to take photos of for instructions.  I sold mine to a friend in need so I have to do that anyway.  Once that’s done I should have enough fabric left for 8-10 kits.

Sam, I don’t actually have the pattern in a digital format at all.  I used some geometry along with Roger Caffin’s cat curve calculator to plot the pieces onto masonite, which I then cut with a jigsaw.  I used to teach community college math so I’m pretty comfortable with doing the hand calculations.

Glad to see such positive response to this.  And thanks for the info, Nick.  Nothing wrong with good old hard patterns.

I would be interested also..sounds like a great way to get a tent project off the ground.

Please let me know when you have more details.

Thanks,

I would be interested in a kit (or 2 or 3). Let me know when this gets a little farther along.

Cheers

I’d be interested, I’m in Flagstaff too.

Me too, sounds fun.

Hi Nick, I am keen too.

I’m located in Australia though.

Regards Bill Purcell

Interested as well. I am located in Canada.

I’m interested too… I’m in Canada.

Interested also I am in North Carolina

Whatever came from this?

Michael,

So nothing has come of this, yet.  I still have the roll of fabric in my shop, and I will probably get around to making kits eventually.  The problem is time – I’ve just been so busy this year.  And then I just took a month off to hike part of the CDT … this is why I didn’t make any promises.

In any case I’m hiring some new employees so hopefully this fall I can get around to it.  And I’m gonna make myself another mid so I can take photos or shoot video of the construction whenever that happens.

I’m interested too – I’m in the UK….

Glad to hear this is in the works still. I would love to get one.
