Hello Thud

Living in southern Indiana, I understand about our weather. You'll definitely want some substance to your creation. four or five years ago, after setting up all month, we had a fierce wind storm come through a couple hours befor show time. It blew stuff (staked to the ground with rebar) over and even broke a few hand made tombstones. Lite is nice. But don't forget the cloth will act like a sail. A lot of my props are styrofoam (easy to shape if a little messy) and Monster Mud. I've found several layers of MM towork pretty good. If it isn' thick enough it will get holes poked in it easy. Also I put a layer of clear cote on to keep the rain off. Hopefully helpful.
