I sleep in one of mine - an old '68 French Navy white silk. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter.
I use both white canopies to project visuals on at shows. Also use for pillows, blankets, blanket forts, tents, extra rooms, drive-in movie screens and more. I have one in my vehicle at all times.
In Australia many homes have circular washing lines called Hills Hoists. They are kind of like a very large umbrella with hanging lines between each prong (like a spider web).
Putting a parachute over the top would make an excellent outdoor entertainment area-(some have converted using shade cloth over here).
Draping it from the house, with some posts on the outer ends...? A 'chute would make a pretty good shade cover,-though not UV resistant.
well at a civil air patrol activity they were gonna throw it away because it "expired" so i took it, (its kinda to big to play a parachute game with!) i might make a tent..

That's pretty cool beans. I can't think of any specific projects but it would be handy to have for lots of little things.
