The new outdoor equipment is bought, the destination is selected, and the friend has made an appointment, but I don’t know how to set up the tent. Have you “get” this must-have skill in the wild?
Before setting up a tent, you must first understand the structure and classification of the tent, master the corresponding method of building according to the tent in your hand, and move toward the destination “go, go, go”. The structure of the tent is divided into internal and external tents, tent poles, ground nails and wind ropes. The main body of the tent has frames, walls, pillars, roofs, doors, rain shelters, flying mats, ground mats, foot ropes, waist ropes, nails, etc. Tents are divided into construction type, herringbone type, tourist type, etc. Here we mainly talk about the method of building tourist tents. Tourist tents are divided into pyramid type, A-shaped type, and triangular type.
Step 1 of setting up a tent
How to build an A-shaped tent
Open the tent bag, take out the tent and lay it flat, and take out all the pillars and other supplies. The two main pillars are inserted into the soil upright, and the ground pad is laid flat in the tent, so that the four corners formed by the main pillars are fixed on the ground in parallel. This step is relatively easy. Then spread the walls of the tent flat on the main pillars and nail the ground to the ground. The windproof rope is fastened to the tent wall and is also nailed to the ground. The A-shaped tent looks like the English letter A from the front. The ground is square or rectangular with two thicker pillars. Secure it with the main rope. This kind of tent is simple and easy to set up and can be used at home. When the sun is full, you can set it up on the balcony to fully enjoy the sun. Because the A-shaped tent has no pillars, it is easy to tilt the roof. When moving, you need to move four corners at the same time to avoid deformation. When the weather is cold, you can add a layer of roof outside the tent to keep it warm.
How to build a pyramid tent
Connect the tent pillars, fix them on the four corners, firmly thread the walls on the pillars, and then insert them into the holes at both ends. If the tent is a multi-pillar flower, the other pillars are also covered in the same way. Insert the pillar into the ground and fix it at an inclination angle of 45 degrees to 60 degrees. Carefully check each set of holes in the account to make sure that each set of holes is properly connected to the corresponding connection point. Finally, tighten the windproof rope outside the tent and nail it tightly. Some tents are double-layered. After setting up, make sure that there is enough space between the two walls to maintain air circulation.
How to build a triangular tent
Spread the tent flat on the ground, then nail it firmly, connect the pillars, and pass them through the holes in the inner net. If there is a mosquito net, pass the holes of the mosquito net on the pillar. Wear other sets of holes in accordance with the positions indicated in the instructions. Knot the two pillars together according to the instructions, and apply force at both ends at the same time to break the pillars. Put the wall on the pillar, paying attention to the zipper outside. Some tents are equipped with rain cover, which is installed on the outside of the wall. Finally nail the ground nails and the wind rope.
