Yes Ghouls, it CAN be done! We cranked it out on Columbus day weekend: put up the canopy with the 2 foot extension, assembled the hoops and tested it out. It does actually work. Once again, when I finally get the whole thing operating including bridge, fabric and all I will create a whole page detailing the steps and troubleshooting etc. that I went through. I would like to thank 'Scary Terry' for providing the basic plans and material sources and Jeff Brown for invaluable troubleshooting and tips during the construction. It's not over yet as we have still the bridge and finishing work, but fully operational hoop rotation is a major step! The images show the hoops inside the canopy during construction with 2 of the 3 hoops connected and the 2 videos demonstrate the rotation of the finished 3 hoop construct.
