Winged Shades, aka BCs, might actually be period. I have seen one piece of period art which has something that appears remarkably similar (read John LaTorre’s article here). In any case, the design is certainly simple and effective.
As a type, they provide good shade, and a bit of wind block (depending on the direction). The triangular wings do help stabilize them, but they should probably be taken down in extreme winds.
Mine are made from the same 10 oz Sunforger fabric as my other tents, so they actually do provide reasonable cover in rain. This does make them a bit heavier though. If you want one in a lighter fabric, let me know.
Sizes
Winged Shades come in two widths: 20′ wide (with 10′ centerpoles) and 30′ wide (w/ 11′ centerpoles).
Lengths depend on the number of panels.
Set-up Kits
Set-up kits include poles, ropes, and stakes. Shades up to 6 panels long need 9 poles, larger ones need 12 poles.
