Site testing

Tried out a whole lot of different configurations for the umbrellas on Wednesday. The weather wasn't particularly good so we covered all the bases with ponchos and rubbish bags.



3.5m pole this time - it's huge!



3.5m versus 3m pole


We tried the poles directly upright so see if they'd look any better



 Also tried with the umbrellas stepping down





Placement: trying to create a sort of wave in the canopy



All 3m poles except for one 3.5




The umbrella heights alternating



Placement: 3m poles "framed" by two 3.5m poles on one end and two 2.5s on the other


Placement: Stepping down - 3.5s, 3s and 2.5s



Placement: stepping down again - except without the 2.5s


Then we started "layering" the stands again - we thought the single line didn't work well...


Definitely has better coverage, and looks better in two directions





So we decided to settle with this - similar to the first event but not quite. The single file really didn't work for us, so there's the layering again. This time however the umbrellas are more as if they're in clusters instead of rows.
