Projected Collage of Net structure

Dust storm at night, 2005! The net structure allows wind to pass as much as necessary.

EE Camp uses cargo nets, staked into the ground with 16 inch eye bolts, carabiners, and strong, soft, neon-yellow climbing webbing for security and visibiltiy.
Eye bolts are all the way into ground, rounded ends, not dangerous, and strong.
The netting has no hard areas and is not dangerous to use.
Simple photographers clamps are re-usable!, and are used
to secure camo-netting, tarps, curtains, and hold things.

NO Duct TAPE or Zip Ties are used! The architecuture shifts and changes!
Tape and ties end up using your energy to un-do them and then they are huge trash that you have to pack out.
And toxic trash, and gooey, and not re-usable! or recyclable!
Use plain rope to tie things if you have to. Burnable twine.

Installation of Structure:
To prevent wind, for shade, strength, privacy, and safety.
Cargo netting laid out, some pieces woven together
