This article introduces how to fold a Shelter Half. Since there was no clear regulation, folding methods may have varied between units, but this guide is based on a method I learned previously.
Referring to the “Shelter Half Regulations and Usage”and an authentic example, I replaced all the cords on the S&Graf-made Shelter Half. This article is organized as a how-to guide so that you can perform the same modification yourself.
I compared the S&Graf shelter half with an authentic. The fabric and color tone have a fairly good feel, though the cord specifications leave a bit to be desired. Still, as a replica you can use without hesitation, it’s perfectly practical.
