Capell Bros Big Top Sawbuck
Posted By thecircusblog on January 9, 2010
At the far end of the tent the men are putting in the side poles. There is a certain way to do this if it’s windy. We call it “saw bucking” …… we crisscross the side poles like an X. This helps to stabilize the canvas as the peaks are pulled up. They completely go around the tent placing the side poles and then pulling the peaks one at a time.
