After getting back home from the Seattle show on March 7, we found that our tarp cover for the car had completely collapsed due to the wind. This was the time we decided to employ these pieces which had previously been sitting in our yard for over a year. The poles are attached to the garage at the other end, and the weight of these suspensions keeps the poles and the tarp in a somewhat arched state. Interestingly, it was another storm in December 2007 that brought down the pole with these suspensions on it.
