The shade system for the Hut on the playa is composed of two layers. The goal is to protect containers and space between containers from sun exposure.
Guy-wires
Under layer and top layer are secured with ball-bungees to two guy-wires (blue and red on the diagram below) installed along edges of the containers.
- The blue guy-wire makes a cross with 3 borders to support the under layer.
- The red guy-wire runs along the bottom outside of each container to anchor the top layer.
Ratchet straps connected to both ends of each guy-wire keep shade layers in tension which creates the roof between the two containers. Additional guy-wires of ratchet straps are usually installed at the bottom of the container to create anchor points to display Banners.
Under layer
The under layer provides shade to the space between the containers. It is a 20' x 20' silver/brown tarp (available here or here) supported by guy-wires secured to the top anchor points of the containers with ratchet straps and crossing in the center for additional support.
Top layer
The top layer covers both containers and the space in-between. It is a 70' x 40' piece of aluminet connected to the outside of the containers with two dozen bungee cords. A couple of inches of separation between the aliminet and the container roof/sides will provide breathing space that will help lower temperature inside containers. If aluminet is not available, it can be replaced with smaller pieces of fabric.
