Question:

Parachutes?

Im helping organize an old skool rave/drum and bass night in the new year and need to transform the inside of our venue...

Instead of spending ridiculous manhours sewing bedsheets together, does anyone know where I can buy old parachutes or something similar in size to hang from the ceiling?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

+ The Air Force and Navy (perhaps even the Army) sell the used parachutes that are deemed unsafe. They are usually sold for the recycling of the silk by the lb. You never know when or where the location of sale will come up but the place to look is DRMO.

You will need to register as an authorized bidder or find an authorized bidder to bid for you and arrange your own, and possibly do your own pick up. I hope that you don't have to drive to Puerto Rico, or Hawaii to get one, and perhaps you can wait until there is an auction near your location.
Good Luck
