If you are thinking about how to make a tent with your own hands, then you should consider the technology of work. As the main advantage of the tent, it can be distinguished that it can be moved to another place at any time, if necessary, by placing it at any convenient point in the territory. A do-it-yourself tent can be made quickly enough. And if the design turns out to be lightweight, it can even be taken on a picnic.
Preparatory work
Before you make a tent with your own hands, you need to choose a fabric and a place on the site. When planning a tent, you need to think about its location. It should be an open area that has a flat surface. The selected area must be cleared of fertile soil, stones and all kinds of debris. The substrate must be leveled, then carefully compacted.
If you intend to build not a stationary, but a light portable structure, then it will be enough to mark the territory and make recesses for the installation of support pillars. If the do-it-yourself tent is made according to the principle of a stationary structure, then it will be necessary to build a foundation, as well as lay out the flooring.
Earthworks
If it is planned to build a foundation, then for this, a layer of soil must be removed on the selected territory, deepening by 10 cm.
Paving slabs will need to be laid on the base prepared in this way, you can choose wooden flooring as the base.
Tent manufacturing options
In order to build the simplest tent with your own hands, you will need to use a beam, the height of which is 2.7 and 2.4 meters, the cross section of these elements should be 50 x 50 mm. You will also need wooden boards, the thickness of which is 40 mm. In order to complete the canopy and walls, you need to prepare the fabric. When carrying out work, one cannot do without steel corners and self-tapping screws.
After the area is marked out, you need to dig holes for the installation of support posts, and then install them. You can use a rotator to dig holes, the depth of the holes should be equal to 0.5 m. After thatas the supports are installed, they need to be covered with a layer of soil.
Tent assembly features
A do-it-yourself tent must be made in compliance with the requirements of strength and durability. Before starting work, it is possible to protect all wooden elements from decay by covering them with a primer or paint, as well as antiseptic compounds. In order to ensure the free flow of water, you need to equip a pitched roof. To do this, the front support legs must be set 30 cm higher than the rear ones. After the mortar has completely hardened, horizontally located crossbars will need to be strengthened between the supports, while the pairing should be done using steel angles.
So, the frame is ready. When making a tent with your own hands, then you only need to cut it out of the fabric, and after sewing the cover for the roof, prepare the curtains to form the side walls. The roof can be made not with fabric, but with polycarbonate. At the same time, rafters must be placed on top of the crossbars, which must be made of timber. It is necessary to choose a material whose cross section is 50 x 50 mm. On the rafters, a crate should be mounted and strengthened, on which the covering material is fixed, using self-tapping screws.
Features of manufacturing a steel gazebo-tent
A do-it-yourself wedding tent can be made like a gazebo. In order to install such a structure, on the selected site it will be necessary to placesupport posts, as well as to strengthen concrete disks in the amount of 4 pieces, they can be replaced with slabs, in the central part of which a hole is made. They will act as the foundation of the tent. Steel bars will need to be mounted into the holes of the discs, which are sometimes replaced by plastic tubes. The upper ends of these rods must be interconnected by means of clamps or wire, while the task is to create supports made like arcs.
After you can mount the frame, the upper edge of the fabric must be collected, and then fixed. It will need to be wound with twine or wire, this must be done in those places where the arcs of the frame are connected. After the fabric can be straightened and stretched along the rods. When making a wedding tent with your own hands using this technology, slipping of the fabric should be excluded, this can be done by using ties that are sewn on the inside of the structure.
Children's tent and features of its manufacture
In order to build such a tent, you will need to use a plastic hoop, the diameter of which is 88 cm, you will need raincoat fabric or cotton fabric. The width of the base of the lower cone will be equivalent to 50 cm, while the length of the element will depend on the height of the structure. Between themselves, you need to connect the cone-shaped elements of the parts, it will be possible to assemble the whole structure with the help of ribbons in the amount of six pieces, they can be placed at the same distance along the edge, and aftertie to the hoop.
When making such a tent for giving with your own hands, you need to cut out the same parts from the fabric that will make up the lower part of the structure. You will need to prepare the same number of elements for the upper zone of the tent. In order to strengthen the tent, it must be hung from the branches; for ease of use, the dome must be equipped with a ring. To complete the frill, you will need to prepare a strip, the width of which is 20 cm. It must be folded in half and outline the dimensions of the semicircles. It is worth stitching the assembly along the contours, and then get rid of the excess amount of fabric and turn the strip on the front side.
In closing
When making a do-it-yourself tent for a summer house, the ring can be made from fabric, the size of which is 30 x 10 cm. This element also needs to be folded along, and then stitched and pulled out. To fix such a ring on the structure, it will be necessary to prepare 4 cones, between which a loop is inserted and everything is sewn.
