Garden tent 3x3 assembly diagram. How to make a tent for a summer cottage: we make a portable place for summer vacations. Types of fabric awnings

In summer, at the dacha it is impossible to do without a gazebo or a tent. But since it takes a long time to build the gazebo, you can stop at the construction of a convenient collapsible tent. It can be made from a variety of materials at hand in a few days. In summer, it will provide excellent protection from the sun if you decide to have a family picnic outside. For the rest of the year, it can be simply collected and stored in a garage, closet or pantry. You can easily make a tent with your own hands with minimal cost.

Tent: construction device, functions, advantages

The tent is a mobile outdoor structure that protects from rain and hot sun. Basically, the frame of this structure is made of aluminum, shaped metal or plastic pipes, covered with a waterproof material.

The functional features of the tent depend on the type of material from which it is constructed.

The structure with lightweight shade fabric is designed to protect the resting people from the hot sun, and the frame with a water-repellent coating will protect from driving rain. Sometimes you can see tents with a polyethylene cover, but such material has a short service life, does not allow air to pass through, and therefore it will be very hot inside the structure in summer. Also popular are models with a mosquito net, which is used as a covering material for walls.

Depending on the size and purpose of the tent, there are:

• stationary or collapsible;
• made in the form of a gazebo, awning or tent;
• have 4,6,8 or 10 faces forming a square, hexagonal or rounded polyhedral structure.

Regardless of the type of tent, it must have at least three protective "walls" made of dense fabric.

To protect against flies and mosquitoes, a mosquito net is hung on the front of the tent.

Benefits of a tent:

• lightness of construction;
• ease of assembly;
• affordability of the price;
• mobility;
• large area of ​​protection from the sun and wind;
• ease of disassembly and storage;
• wide range of colors;
• a large selection of materials for manufacturing.

Types of tents

There are different types of tents that can be installed in a summer cottage:

1. The awning is a compact and lightweight structure that stands on four supports.

   A tent-awning for a summer residence is a simple design

2. A gazebo tent is a fairly popular type of construction, which can have a different number of walls. There are many additional convenient elements such as windows, partitions, mosquito nets. Such a tent can be used even in the cold season, if you remove light summer nets and replace them with blank walls.

   A gazebo tent for a summer residence can be used in winter

3. The tourist tent is designed to protect people on the hike from rain and sun. Usually this model is equipped with wind guards.

   You can take a tourist tent for hiking with you

4. The pavilion tent is the most spacious and spacious structure that can be used to accommodate a large number of people and even for various events (weddings, birthdays, children's parties in nature).

   The pavilion tent is suitable for celebrations

There are certain rules for choosing a design, depending on the needs and capabilities:

Which is better - a tent or a gazebo?

Many summer residents often have a question - which is better than a gazebo or a tent? The fact is that both designs have their positive and negative sides, as well as their similarities and differences. Let's see what characteristics tents and gazebos have, and which option is better to choose for your personal plot.

Table: comparative characteristics of the gazebo and the tent

Preparing to build a tent

Before proceeding with the construction of the tent, it is necessary to complete all measurements and draw up a simple drawing with their indication. The simplest design is a stationary product made of wooden beams.

The wooden tent frame drawing must contain all dimensions

When installing wooden supports for a stationary tent, it is necessary to take into account that it will stand in the open air throughout the year. Therefore, the material for the frame must be strong, of high quality and reliable.

For support posts, you can take a rounded or glued beam, as well as a pine or spruce board, since it is least exposed to the decay process. Less commonly, a board made of oak, larch or fir is used, since this is an expensive lumber for such a lightweight structure.

Wooden beams are ideal for the frame of the tent

As a covering material for a tent, you can take:

Tent fabric has different subspecies:

1. Oxford. Waterproof material made of polyurethane or PVC (polyvinyl chloride). It is a durable and elastic nylon fabric that is highly resistant to temperature changes. Disadvantages: highly electrified and has a low degree of refractoriness.

   Oxford tent fabric for tent is durable and elastic

2. Taffeta. A fabric that is made from polyester or nylon with a special structure. A polyurethane or PVC protective layer is applied to the base material. Advantages: resistance to aggressive chemical environments, repulsion of fatty substances. The nylon fabric has a high degree of waterproofness, strength and wear resistance. Disadvantages: electrified and practically non-hygroscopic. Polyester fabric does not stretch, is highly breathable, dries quickly, but not strong enough for a stationary tent.

   Taffeta Tent Cloth for Tent Shelter is not suitable for stationary structure

3. Teflon with cotton. It is a thin fabric consisting of two layers (top cotton and bottom Teflon). Most suitable for the manufacture of light summer coverings for a tent and other summer cottage structures.

   Tent fabric Teflon with cotton for the tent is very light

Calculation of the required amount of material: tools for work

To build a simple tent with a timber frame, you will need:

• timber - 2.4 and 2.7 m (diameter 5x5 cm);
• wooden boards - 3-4 cm thick;
• durable material for walls and roofs;
• metal corners;
• building level;
• nylon thread for marking;
• brace or shovel;
• self-tapping screws and electric screwdriver;
• sand, cement and crushed stone.

Step-by-step instructions for building a summer cottage with a mosquito net

After careful preparation for making the tent, you can start the process itself. It consists of several steps:

1. Choose a place to build a tent. Remove excess vegetation, stones and debris from the territory. Mark the points for the supports and pull the construction thread. After making sure that all corners are even, start digging holes with a brace or a shovel to a depth of about 50 cm for the supports of the future tent.

   Drilling holes for supports can be performed with a special device

2. All wooden elements must be primed before installation and allowed to dry completely. Then set them in the corners in the dug holes and compact them well with earth. You can concrete them, and then the structure will be more stable.

   Wooden supports for the tent frame must be concreted

3. In order for the roof of the tent to turn out to be single-pitched, you need to make two supports on one side 20 or 30 cm higher than on the other.
4. Fasten horizontal transverse boards for the strapping device between the supports from above and below. Also, on top of the crossbars, it is necessary to lay a wooden crate so that the fabric does not sag.

   A tent with a pitched roof is not as difficult to build as it seems

5. The floor (base) of the tent can be made of wood by nailing the boards to the lower harness or lay it out with paving slabs, stone, fine crushed stone, or purchase a natural or artificial lawn.

   Paving slabs can be used as a base for a tent

6. The wooden frame of the tent must be impregnated with antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal agents, and then painted with oil paint or water-repellent varnish. This is necessary in order for the structure to serve as long as possible, standing outside in the rain, snow and scorching rays of the sun.

   The frame of a stationary summer cottage is made of wood

7. Then you just need to sew the side walls and roof covering from the selected fabric. Since the tent will be used to a greater extent in the summer, it is better to sew mosquito net canvases for one or several side walls. It will perfectly allow air to pass through and will not allow mosquitoes and flies to get inside the tent.

Preparation of the base for the construction of a tent in the country

The base for the tent can be any, depending on the type of structure, its weight and other characteristics. There are certain rules:

How and what to fix the tent on different surfaces

Depending on the type of tent and the material of the frame, there are several ways to fasten the structure:

1. A tent with wooden supports can be installed on the ground in several ways: by concreting the posts, on a columnar or strip foundation, on a base made of a similar material. You can also just bury the racks in the ground, which can be tamped well.
2. The metal frame supports can be driven deep into the ground. The tent will be strong and stable due to its lightweight construction.
3. If you plan to install the structure on an asphalt surface, then special "heels" can be welded to the legs of the metal frame, which will serve as additional supports. You can also install the tent on paving slabs, stone surfaces, etc. For a more secure attachment of the heel, you can nail it with special dowels or anchors to the asphalt surface.

The tent is a lightweight and comfortable design, so it will be simply irreplaceable for summer cottages. It can be installed in just a few minutes, so it will not take up much space in a small summer cottage. After resting, the structure is quickly assembled and put into the pantry. A tent on a metal frame can be taken with you to a river or lake, on a hike or on a long trip. And if you build it in your country house and install comfortable furniture, as well as a barbecue or grill, you can have a great rest with your friends and acquaintances.

Many of our compatriots love drinking tea or just having a pleasant time outdoors in a gazebo or under a canopy.

But not every owner has the opportunity to give a summer residence, and it is not always convenient for tourists to get by with just a camping tent.

For recreation, many different options for tents in various configurations and varieties have been developed. We will try to understand in more detail what its advantages are, how it differs from other camping devices, its types and assembly scheme.

What is different from the awning

Comparing them with awnings, you can see that tent gazebos are more attractive, look decent and can be used for a wider range of tasks.

Classification

Tents can be divided into several categories: by purpose, shape, brand.

By appointment

The purpose of such camping devices can be very different:

By form and design features

Tent shapes are four or hexagonal, "star" or arched marquee. The walls can be straight or sloping. The sloping sides provide greater stability in strong gusts of wind. The roof is made mostly sloping. It drains water better and adds elegance to the entire product.

For the soft part, use synthetic or polyurethane fabrics. In more expensive versions, they are impregnated with a water-repellent solution. The frame is made of metal or combined plastic.

How to choose the right one

The choice of a tent depends primarily on where and for what it is planned to use it. For hikes or trips to nature in the warm season, it is better to purchase a tourist multifunctional tent.

A fold-out or quick-build campground is perfect for a garden lunch or picnic.

For long-term use in the yard or garden gazebo, you can purchase a wind-resistant summer version without walls.

Many owners of private houses purchase a 3x3 garden tent, which serves as a gazebo where they can dine or simply receive guests in the fresh air.

At a wedding or other festive event, you can achieve originality or an unusual atmosphere for guests by purchasing a large exclusive option.
Having studied the instructions, we will carry out the process of assembling the parts sequentially:

Note: the tent is completed with four supports for mounting on a wooden pallet. When installed on the ground, the supports are not used.

Thus, we examined the types of tents and the most optimal option for assembling it.

Look video with a photo selection of various types of tents for summer cottages:

In summer, in the middle lane, the weather is unpredictable. Suddenly a cloud may come and rain. On a clear sunny day, even in September, there is a chance of getting sunstroke. For outdoor activities, you will need a canopy to protect it from rays or rain. One option is a tall, portable tent. Standard sizes are 4 or 9 m 2. They are installed in the forest, near the lake, at their dacha. The design is lightweight, and when rolled up, it is quite compact. The instruction, 3x3, is very simple. Even a beginner can handle the assembly.

Tent assembly instructions

Features of the tent design

The awning consists of a metal frame covered with a waterproof synthetic fabric. The roof is usually a circle, regular pyramid or octahedron. From below, racks are attached to it, onto which the walls are stretched.

The frame elements are thin aluminum tubes. The fabric is held on to them using special fasteners. Some models have no walls. They often have two layers.

• Upper - canvas, protecting from the sun, rain and wind.

The sides can only be canvas or mesh.

Advantages and disadvantages

pros

• Compactness - the folded awning takes up little storage space. The metal base is completely disassembled, the fabric is removed and folded.
• Mobility - when assembled, the structure fits into the car. It weighs a little.
• Reliability - neither wind nor hail is afraid of aluminum posts. It will take some effort to bend them.
• The walls and ceiling are not blown out and keep the temperature well. If you put a heater inside and close the entrance, the heat will not come out.
• Ease of operation - any person will be able to assemble a tent according to the assembly scheme. Installation takes less than an hour. The scheme is so simple that it is impossible to make a mistake.
• The supports and the covering do not require any special maintenance. It is enough to wipe them sometimes.

Minuses

• Lightness - there is a downside to this advantage. In a strong gust of wind, a poorly secured tarpaulin can fall or fly away.
• The bond between prefabs weakens over time. The structure is not designed for permanent service when assembled.
• Aluminum supports cannot withstand heavy mechanical loads. They can be bent or broken if handled roughly.
• In hot weather, the air inside is very hot, so it is better to remove the walls, leaving only the mosquito net.

Choosing a tent

Pavilion models differ from each other in material, shape, size, color and design.

Textile

Mainly polymeric materials are used as a coating.

• Tarpaulin is lightweight, stretches well, lasts a long time. Its performance characteristics are worse than that of other materials, but it costs less than its counterparts.
• Polyester is lighter and stronger than tarpaulin. It is more elastic and stretches beautifully.
• Mosquito net - serves to protect against insects. If you need reliable perforated walls, it is better to use camouflage fabric. She has proven herself well in the field. The coating does not tear and lasts a long time.

The foundation

The frame is made of aluminum, less often of plastic. Duralumin and duralumin have the highest rates. They weigh more.

Supports are buried in the ground or remain on the surface. In this case, they should have flat nozzles. There are several non-standard solutions.

• Wood - looks better than metal, but it is heavy, massive and low strength. To protect the supports from moisture and microorganisms, they should also be coated with a hydrophobic compound.
• Fiberglass is lighter than metal, but less reliable. Fiberglass can be of any color. The color can be matched to any coating. It can also be transparent or translucent.
• Wrought iron - the highest strength values.

Non-standard models

• Rotundas have a round base. The roof consists of curved tubes. How to assemble such a tent for relaxation is indicated in the instructions. The assembly principle differs little from the installation diagram of a rectangular awning.
• Polyhedra are more stable. Water slides off them better.
• - the racks are mounted in two rows and together with the upper tubes form a kind of arches. These arches are parallel to each other. They are connected by horizontal rods. The fabric is pulled from above. With long-term use, the structure can be decorated with climbing plants.
• Awnings with transparent walls. The material is polyvinyl chloride. He does not tolerate high temperatures. At 60 degrees, PVC begins to melt, so heating devices should be kept away from it. Like most polymers, it burns out in the sun, however, in this case, the transparent walls are not threatened. Products of light colors do not melt under the influence of direct rays and do not fade.

Seat selection

For installation, you need a flat platform. If it is at an angle, the heavy frame can skew under its own weight. When such a place cannot be found, it is better to look for support for the walls - a house or a tree.

Do not stretch the tarpaulin under heavy branches. It will not support their weight. Their fall can lead to casualties.

Tent assembly diagram

To avoid making a mistake, you must follow the instructions. It is included with the kit. The work takes place in several stages.

• Site preparation - it must be level. All differences in height are eliminated v otherwise the frame may be skewed. They leave the ground below or make the floor from tiles and other materials.
• Installation of the rack. Prefabricated supports should be assembled on the ground and only then installed vertically and adjust their position.
• Roof installation. Metal elements are fixed to each other on the ground or screwed to vertical posts and connected to each other at the top. The circuit may differ from model to model. Typically, the roof is attached when the base is adjusted.
• When the frame is ready, you should check how flat it is, whether all connections are reliable.
• The tarpaulin cover is stretched evenly to prevent curvature of the frame. Fastening is carried out using special elements. These can be holes in the fabric, enclosed in metal rings, wide woven loops, lacing, or another solution.

How to make an awning yourself

Before assembling a tent with a mosquito net or an ordinary shed, you need to think over all the nuances - to decide on the materials, size and design. As an example, consider the option with a wooden base.

Sequence of work

• First you need to prepare the wooden supports. They can be made from beams with a section of 10x15 cm and a length of 2.5 m. The workpieces should be treated with an antiseptic and a hydrophobic composition.
• If stationary is planned, the bars are buried in the ground for half a meter and concreted.
• For roofing, it is better to use lightweight metal pipes. For portable disassembled models, the racks are best made of the same material. The elements are fastened to each other with screws. Stationary structures are welded.
• From above, the racks are connected to horizontal elements. It is more convenient to make the rafters separately and put them on the upper perimeter.
• The fabric must be waterproof. If the canopy is used for sun protection, cotton linen can be used. It should be removed quickly as it will have to be washed frequently. The fabric is cut out with a margin for seams.
• The design is checked by level, after which you can start wrapping.

A tent tent is a prefabricated portable structure that has a wide range of applications. An inexpensive analogue of the gazebo can be installed at a summer cottage, taken with you on a country trip or fishing. The popularity of such structures is easy to explain - they provide protection from the sun and insects, wind and precipitation. Modern waterproof materials that are used in the manufacturing process are distinguished by excellent strength characteristics and a long service life.

Relatively recently, sheds of this type were perceived only as an alternative to stationary structures made of wood and metal. The current temporary structures are distinguished by their stylish appearance and perform not only protective, but also aesthetic functions, decorating the territory. Before learning how to assemble a tent, let's get acquainted with the main characteristics of the products.

Benefits of tents

• Portability - the structure can be removed and moved at any time.
• Low price - stationary gazebos are much more expensive, and everyone can afford tents.
• Ease of installation - it takes no more than half an hour to assemble the structure.
• Transportability - light textile "walls" and a metal frame in a collapsible form can easily fit into the trunk, so the structure can be used during a picnic.

Types of fabric awnings

Depending on the purpose and size, fabric gazebos are stationary and prefabricated, designed for a group of people and small, outwardly similar to tourist tents. The number of faces can also be different - from 4 to 8 or even 10. The following depends on this characteristic:

• the shape of the structure - square, rectangular or rounded;
• assembly features indicated in the instructions.

All models of portable gazebos are divided by type into:

• open, without walls, which are suitable for organizing holidays and feasts, and also temporarily capable of replacing the garage;
• closed ones are adapted for a long time outdoors, such designs are optimal for those who like reading and evening conversations under the light of a lamp;
• semi-open tents with mosquito nets - an intermediate option between the two types described above; three walls of the structure are blank, and one is covered with a transparent veil from insects.

The most versatile are semi-open structures.

How to choose a tent?

Material

The most successful and durable structures are forged metal, but thin supports made of aluminum and light alloys bend and break. The material for the walls of the tent-tent must be waterproof. Otherwise, it will protect from the sun, but not from the rain.

Number of racks

The most unreliable structures are considered to be on 4 pillars. If there are 6 or more racks, the structure will be much more stable.

Form

How the tent is built depends on its performance characteristics. The multifaceted rounded shape reminiscent of a dome is one of the most successful. From such a "roof" the water quickly rolls down, not collecting at the top. The more edges a structure has, the better.

Choosing a place to install an awning

Before proceeding with the construction of a tent with a mosquito net, it is necessary to decide on its location. The best option is to arrange a gazebo in an open area in the garden or next to the house. Lowlands and hills are not suitable for installing the structure. In the first case, there is a high risk of flooding. In the second, - that the light structure will be blown away by the wind.

The site must be cleared of roots, branches and debris. The land is leveled and rammed. If the instructions indicate that a reliable base for the gazebo is not needed, it is enough to mark the site and prepare recesses in the ground according to the number of supports.

Since a reinforced tent is much more reliable, you can turn the structure into a stationary one. For this, it is necessary to prepare the foundation and perform the flooring. Then 10 cm of soil is removed on the territory. The bottom of the pit is covered with sand and rammed. On top of the base, you can lay out paving slabs, or make a wooden floor.

Tent assembly instructions

Usually, instructions are attached to any factory product. Read it before you get started. Further, the actions are structured as follows.

1. Open the package with details for the future structure.
2. Lay out the elements by grouping them according to their purpose. So they will all be before your eyes, and you do not have to go far for every detail. Place the wedges, fabric canopy, connectors, cables, etc. into separate groups.
3. The tent assembly instructions should be in front of your eyes when you start joining the frame parts. If you are in doubt about the correct sequence of your actions, it is better to check the diagram once again.
4. Connect the parts of the "constructor" from tubes and adapters.
5. Pull the protective fabric over the frame while holding the uprights. Be careful not to damage the surface of the canvas.
6. Secure the structure using ropes and pegs.
7. Install the walls - they are fixed with Velcro to the frame tubes.
8. Since the assembled tent needs to be sturdy, check that all parts fit tightly and that the fasteners are screwed in. If you find flaws, tighten the connections that seem unreliable.
