In essence, the tent is simple canopy. The main council for those who want to make tent with own hands – accurately with main objectives and problems of this construction. If it is canopy for the car, then choose materials inexpensive, but strong and if the tent is intended for tea drinking at the dacha, then the design has to have the thorough beginning. Anyway, it is necessary to choose for a start site for tent, to make sketches of the drawing and to decide on material selection which you awake to use at construction. To make tent with own hands not really difficult. Its basic elements are the framework and tent, that is roofing covering.
Instruction
1. Choose material for production of framework. The modern market offers good selection of construction materials which can be used for production of framework for tent. These are wooden brusa, aluminum pipes, metal mountings corners and so forth. The simplest that you can use as tent is special racks with the system of fastening.
2. Mark the site over which the tent will be tense. Pegs notice places for racks. Dig out on the place hole peg depth not less half a meter, insert into them racks on which fastening element will be fixed. Cover holes wet with earth (if the design is intended for long time, then it is possible to fill in with cement) and well stamp.
3. Leave racks for day, and then start mounting of cross-pieces. Establish side fixers on racks and in turn insert into them guides. Here you need the help, otherwise there is risk that the design will just fall under own weight.
4. Reduce the designs directing in the center and fix them by fastening element ("centroviky"). If the central element is not provided by tent design, then just fix guides on corners. Delay fastenings. At you the racks fastened with the top binding have turned out. Check reliability of design and pull cloth.
5. You can make canopy also of polycarbonate, but in that case framework make 10-15 cm less than the size of the stacked leaf, and as material for racks take aluminum. If the tent is necessary to you rounded shape, then use metal sections. You fix them on racks by means of corners and bolts, and polycarbonate to prisverlivayta on self-tapping screws.
6. For tents in the form of arches use long metal sections. Drive one end of profile in the earth and carefully strengthen it there at an angle in 45 degrees. Drive the second end in in advance planned place. The arch will turn out. For stability use side racks supports height in meter - one and a half. Pay attention that you need at least 4 profile designs, otherwise the tent will be shaky.
