Tunnel tents are a popular tent design and are commonly found in family tents. It is easy to set up: just place a tent pole in the sleeve and place it in regular intervals.
The tent pole bends to create an arch. This makes it stronger and provides more head room. Fortunately once you’ve mastered one tunnel tent, the rules can be applied to most other tunnel tents. Here are eight steps that will teach you how to construct tunnel tents. Also, there are some useful tips. Choose a level location. Remove any stones, twigs or other dangers. Avoid areas with dips since these can fill with water. It’s possible to find that a footprint on your tent is an ideal way to set up your tent, and also keep your tent spotless. A tarp must be the same size as your tent. Additional camping tips are available here, such as how to put up your tent in the (relatively) dry even when it rains. It is recommended to use a floor sheet under your tent particularly if it has been wet. It can make it easier to dry the tent and also keep it spotless. A tarp or groundsheet can be extremely useful in this case, particularly in the event that the tent has been wet. Here’s how to take it down, even if we’re talking about pitching it. The tent is covered with the bag that is lighter in color. This is the bag that contains poles for the tent. When you take your tent down and then fold it put the bag of tent poles near the top of the folded tent prior to when you begin to roll. This will assist in compressing the air out of the tent to create a tighter tent so that you are able to put it back into its original bag. For a footprint that fits your groundsheet, Web Treasurehunter unfold the tunnel tent. Set the tent poles straightening the tent in the channels. You will notice that the dimensions of many tunnel tents doesn’t really matter so long as each pole is able to fit into the channel. Manufacturers will colour code the channels of tents with more complex designs. Make sure the doors are not locked. An eyelet or another mechanism to hold the poles in place will be located at the bottom of your tent in the sleeve that you have put the tent poles. Attach the poles to it at both ends of the tent which causes the poles of your tent to bend in an arch-like shape. This is the easiest to do while the tent is in the ground. The tent pole is then inserted into the eyelet the next time (i.e. on the other side of the tent) may require a little bit of force. Be sure that the tent isn’t bunched up around the poles in the sleeve — the tent may have been caught in an opening in the pole of the tent. If this is the case, loosen the tension and adjust the tent’s material. This is why it’s more efficient to complete this stage by placing the tent on the ground. Bring the tent up from one end. A tent peg is a great device to secure the tent’s edges. This will help keep the tent in place while you adjust it. What’s wrong with you for not zipped the doors earlier? When you lift the tent up, the room inside the tent increases, which creates a vacuum that can make standing it up difficult. This will make it easier for air inside the tent to pass through the zippers. This will decrease the vacuum effect. It is now time to alter the tent’s size by making sure that it’s stretched. The tent might be too stretched if the doors are still open. This can make it difficult to zip the doors shut once the tent has been secured. It is now time to walk around the tent to adjust the lines, and open the vents, and check that any tarp or footprint is well folded under the tent so it doesn’t retain rainwater. You may also seek assistance from a family member to put up the inner tents. The process of putting up the tents is simple. The tents’ interiors feature toggles that connect to loops in the tent. The toggle can be turned on from the center of the tent using the toggle in a color and loop. The following are the steps you must adhere to when setting up a tunnel tent. Removing the tent is basically the opposite of setting it up. On a lot of tents you can put the inner tents up so that you don’t have to go through that process the next time, but we wouldn’t advise this. It is important to keep the tents in the inner areas separate and dry if your tent is damp or wet. It is possible that it will rain the next time you visit camp. If your tent is damp, or raining, you’ll be capable of keeping them separated. You can then ferry the tents inside and keep them nice and dry. The effect of vacuum is minimized by leaving the tent’s doors in place when folding the tent. Remember to keep the tent pegs bag in place while rolling it up.
