Often, many travelers and tourists, especially inexperienced, have difficulty folding a modern tent. But in order for the design to be compact, the minimum takes up space and fits easily in the case, it is also important to fold it correctly. Of course, detailed instructions are usually attached to all products, but not everyone can do everything right the first time. It is worth learning how to assemble a tent with figure eight, since this method is the most common.
Currently, there are several types of tents:
- winter
- fishing;
- children’s;
- Chinese
- automatic tents.
The method of collecting a winter tent
There are several types of winter tents:
- on locks;
- Velcro
- with an external frame;
- with inner frame.
Designs with locks and Velcro are slightly different from ordinary ones, so at the time of folding you need to close everything, and then press one of the corners inward. The resulting kind of book needs to be rotated so that one of its corners is turned “towards itself”. Then it remains only to press the lower ribs to the floor, and the upper ones - to tilt down and forward. After the eight managed to assemble the tent, it needs to be packed in a cover.
If the inner arches of the frame tent are not pulled out, then this design is assembled in the same manner as described above. It is important initially only to get out of the ground all the pegs installed around the perimeter. A folded tent that does not fit in the cover means that the procedure is not performed correctly. Knowing how to properly assemble the tent with an eight with an internal frame, you can easily do similar work with a model that has an internal frame.
Gathering a fishing tent
To assemble a fishing tent, you should initially give it a vertical position, pressing one of the sides with your foot. Then hold the top with your hands and start twisting it through 180 degrees. The ring formed during the twisting process must be bent down. Then connect the resulting one more ring with the first and place the tent in the cover.
How to assemble a children's tent with figure eight
Game children's tents are also divided into several types:
- wireframe;
- triangular houses.
In fact, all these structures are folded and placed in a case in a minute, freeing up a lot of space in the room. But sometimes you can’t cope with them in any way if you don’t know how to put together a tent with an eight. The house of the first type develops as follows:
- you need to stand in front of one of the walls, while grabbing two opposite ribs with your hands;
- connect the left and right sides together;
- take the lower third of the resulting plane with your hands so that the tent roof is in the “away from you” position and put one hand behind the other, folding the ribs with an eight;
- the rings of the resulting eight are stacked on top of each other, after which they are successfully placed in the case.
Also, knowledge of the basic principles will help to assemble a triangle house. To do this, it is necessary to keep one of the sides of the structure facing you and, pushing the rib to the opposite edge, insert it inside. Achieving a flat shape, tuck the entire panel, leaving the outside only the rubber-retainer located below. Twist the middle and top to form a figure eight.
Assembly of Chinese tents
Recently, tourist structures-awnings made in China have become very popular. They attract many buyers not only with ease of use, but also with the ease of assembly. But sometimes, not everyone can figure out the instructions that describe how to assemble a Chinese tent-eight. Often difficulties arise at the very beginning of the process. So, at the beginning of the assembly, you need to fold two side faces, holding one of the sides with your foot. The resulting oval will only twist in a circle. It is best to do this procedure together.
How to assemble a tourist tent machine
Automatic tents, often also called semi-automatic tents, are characterized by minimal weight, as well as ease of installation and dismantling. The structure pulled out of the case reveals itself in the air, taking the form of an assembled model, if it is shaken a little. Some outdoor enthusiasts have learned to create entire parking lots using similar tourist tents. Moreover, you can install and disassemble them at any time of the day, under any weather conditions. However, there is one drawback associated with the manufacturability of the product, since its advantage turns into a real problem if you do not know how to assemble the tent with an eight. The scheme is very simple, but if you are dealing with a double or triple design, with a vestibule and an awning, experts recommend practicing to do the procedure together, remembering all the places of bends and applying appropriate efforts.
Initially fold the model, giving it a flat shape. Depending on the type of tent, you should end up with a square, rectangle or triangle. Then fold all sides in one and lay on the ground. Pull one end toward you, pressing the tent to the opposite edge. As soon as you see that the arcs take the form of a figure of eight, twist them into a circle.
It is worth noting that if a lefty does not know how to assemble a tent with an eight, the dismantling scheme should be carried out simply in the opposite direction. Practice a little at home, after which you can already easily do all the necessary manipulations in nature.
