Using Beach Shades As Art
When one thinks of art, rarely does functionality come to mind as well. While there are a lot of functional things that have been made artistic, most artistic things are not functional in nature, nor are they usually reasonable in price. A Ferrari is usually very artistic, and has function, but is almost always incredibly expensive. Glass sculptures are often very beautiful, and may not have a lot of cost involved, but rarely do they serve a useful function. And the last place most people would consider looking for artistic, as well as functional satisfaction, is with umbrellas used as beach, pool or patio shades. Quite simply, having protection from the sun in an artistic manner just doesn't seem to have a smooth juxtaposition. But new levels of art have been applied to sun blocking structures and have been termed "shade sculpture".
This art form combines the functional need to protect one from the harsh, burning rays of the sun while having an artistic shape. While some would say that existing tents, umbrellas and pagodas have a certain level of artistic satisfaction already, others would disagree. And rightly so. Umbrellas and tents definitely have a certain flow and shape to them, however they do not have much in the way of being unique: as some type of dome or overhanging edifice to deflect the sun away. But applying artistic sensibilities to this concept now leads to amazingly beautiful, and functional, structures.
While the concepts to apply artistic forms to umbrellas and tents may have been around for decades, or even centuries in some areas, only now has the technology gotten to the point where these structures can be built. Superior strength aluminum and lightweight materials have enabled artisans to not only design truly artistic pieces of sculpture, but have allowed them to be created and built. This allows everyone the chance to enjoy the beauty while being protected from a high grade umbrella or sun shade. With these new materials, the flights of fancy that artists have envisioned can now be put into engineering specs and fabricated, bringing those flights of fancy into beautiful reality.
The form used is no longer totally dictated by functionality. "Shade sculptures" can now be a reality for those who want sun protection combined with an artistic flair.

What is the best campsite for tubing on the Guadalupe river (Texas)?
I've been to a few campsites with no trees, campers packed in like sardines, and generally uncomfortable conditions. Which campsites allow for easy access to the river, shade trees, ample space for tents, and nice facilities?
Right now, maybe none. The Guadalupe flooded big-time yesterday, and a lot of the tubing campsites got wiped out. You may need to wait awhile before planning your tubing trip, sorry!

A buyer's guide to star twin tents
Large canopy tents have enjoyed great popularity, not just as structures that provide shade but also as structures that are great for entertainment and gatherings. Therefore, it is common to see large canopies and tents housing a cafeteria or a wedding party. There are different varieties of canopies available making it easy for different people to buy the canopy that best suits their purpose.
When you need a canopy for the outdoors, your first step is to decide whether the canopy has to be portable or not. Fixed canopies are useful structures but they cannot be moved around too much. So, what do you do if you want to go camping with your large family or you want to host a road show for your product? Go for star twin tents!
Star twin tents: what are they?
Star twin tents are large portable canopies that are designed to look like twin stars. As the name suggests, the first feature you notice about these tents is their neat and amazing design. Each star tent has six distinctly shaped arches that not only look beautiful but also offer great height. The design is patented and is a great change from the old, boring rectangular pole tents. Fortunately, the design boosts spaciousness. The star twin is large and has a large seating capacity. The exact number of seats depends on how big the canopy is. Different sizes are available. Consumers may choose a canopy that suits their needs.
Some of the important features of star twin tents are:
Portable and durable
Simple setup
Stunning design
Compact storage 3
High quality materials
Rust proof frame
Structure provides strength and stability in windy conditions
Available in attractive colors
Large seating capacity
Star twin tents are great for a number of purposes:
Exhibitions
Road shows
Sponsor displays
Concerts
Parties
Event marketing
Recent models in Star Twin tents:

The tent is easy to set up and may be customized for own use. The shade can accommodate approximately 150 chairs. The structure contains materials that provide strength and stability and is an ideal protection for large events.
The KD StarTwin 685 model is a more compact design that provides shelter for a more compact group of people. For those who want the ideal star Twin design on a much smaller scale than the 1320 model, the 685 model is the ideal solution.
