Hello again, Photos at
As can be seen, the west side of the tarp is being used as a "door", and will be secured to a length of 1"sq steel time by way of ss bolts, wing nuts and penny washers through eyelets, so that the tarp can be easily removed and pulled up to allow a car in. My problem is how to support the top end of the "door" tube to allow it to be easily moved out the way once pulled free of the magnets that secure it to the wall. My first thought was to affix a short length on 1"sq tube horizontally to the wall, extended to the gutter line and using a tie wrap to support the vertical tube. Trying this out first, however, showed that the tie wrap would only slide along the tube in a very jerky fashion. Maybe I should polish the tube edges. Being a model engineer, I have of course visualised various alternatives, with each becoming more complicated than the previous :-) I now need help from a wider audience as the same ideas are now just being regurgitated each day. Hope it all makes sense.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Cheers GeoffH Norfolk UK not VA
