It is far from always possible to establish a full gazebo on the territory of a suburban area. At the same time, the place for rest can be equipped with a tent, which will be an excellent alternative to the gazebo. If you are thinking about how to make a tent with your own hands, then it is worth considering the technology of the work. One of the main advantages of the tent is that it can be moved to another place at any time, if necessary, located 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 be taken even for 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, which has a flat surface. The selected area must be cleaned of the fertile layer of soil, stones and all kinds of debris. The base must be leveled, then carefully sealed.
If you intend to build not a stationary, but a light portable structure, then it will be enough to mark the territory and make indentations for the installation of support pillars. If the tent with your own hands will be made on the principle of a stationary structure, it will be necessary to erect the foundation, as well as lay out the flooring.
Earthworks
If it is planned to build a foundation, then for this purpose on the selected territory you need to remove the soil layer, deepening by 10 cm. The bottom and walls should be carefully leveled, after that you have to fill up the prepared place with sand that needs to be poured with water and well compacted.
On the basis prepared in this way, paving slabs will need to be laid,
wooden flooring can be chosen 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 perform a canopy and walls, you need to prepare the fabric. When carrying out work, one can not do without steel corners and self-tapping screws.
After the territory is marked, you need to dig holes to install the support posts, and then install them. You can use a scoop to dig holes, the depth of the holes should be 0.5 m. After the supports are installed, they need to be covered with a layer of soil.
Tent assembly features
The tent with your own hands should be made in compliance with the requirements of strength and durability. Before starting work, it is possible to protect all wooden elements from rotting, covering them with a primer or paint, as well as antiseptic compounds. In order to ensure free runoff of water, you need to equip a pitched roof. To do this, the front support posts must be installed 30 cm higher than the rear. After the solution has completely hardened, horizontally located cross-bars will need to be strengthened between the supports, while pairing should be done using steel angles.
So, the frame is ready. Making the tent with your own hands, then you only need to cut it out of the fabric, and then sew the cover for the roof, prepare the curtains to form the side walls. The roof can be made not using fabric, but from polycarbonate. At the same time, rafters should be placed on top of the cross-members, which should be made of timber. It is necessary to choose a material with a cross section of 50 x 50 mm. On the rafters, the crate should be mounted and fixed, on which the covering material is fixed, self-tapping screws should be used.
Features of manufacturing a steel gazebo tent
A tent for a wedding with your own hands can be made like a gazebo. In order to install such a design, support racks will need to be located on the chosen site, as well as 4 concrete pieces should be strengthened, 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, which are sometimes replaced by plastic tubes, will need to be mounted in the holes of the disks. The upper ends of these rods should be interconnected by means of clamps or wires, while the task is to create supports made according to the type of arcs.
After the frame can be mounted, the upper edge of the fabric needs to be assembled, 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 connect. After that, the fabric can be straightened and pulled over the rods. Making a wedding tent with your own hands using this technology, you should eliminate the sliding of the fabric, you can do this by using the ties that are sewn from 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 a 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. You need to connect the cone-shaped elements of the parts together, the whole structure can be assembled using ribbons in the amount of six pieces, they can be placed at the same distance along the edge, and then tied to a hoop.
Making such a tent for a summer residence with your own hands, you need to carve out the same details from the fabric, which 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 whose width is 20 cm. It must be folded in half and outline the dimensions of the semicircles. On the contours, it is worth stitching the assembly, and then get rid of the excess amount of fabric and unscrew the strip on the front side.
Finally
By making a tent for a summer residence with your own hands, the ring can be made of 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. A do-it-yourself tent can be made quite simply using the above technology.
