I laid the material on a tarp down in the back yard and sprayed it with the hose and let it sit in the water fro a while.

Thanks, Todah.

We scored the wood and soaked it with the hose, it curved in no time. We set it in place to dry. The scoring of the wood takes a long time but the end product is worth it.

We still have to add braces and stuff but it is encouraging to see it take shape.
