Tunnel tents are an extremely popular design for tents and can be found in many family tents. They’re easy to put up. All you need to do is insert the pole of a tent into an sleeve in regular intervals. The tent pole is bent to create an arch. This is what makes it sturdy and gives you a lot more head room. Fortunately once you’ve mastered one tunnel tent, the same principles can be applied to most other tunnel tents. These are the steps that will help you construct tunnel tent. Additionally, there are useful tips. Find a flat area. Remove any stones, twigs, or other hazards. Avoid areas with dips since they can be filled with water. A footprint on your tent is the ideal place to put your tent and maintain it. We utilize a tarp that is exactly the same size as the tent. There are many camping tips on using tarps, which also includes ways to pitch in the (relative) dry conditions, Redirecting even if it’s raining. It’s a good idea to put the groundsheet under your tent, especially if it has been wet. It makes it much easier to dry the tent and keep it spotless.

The tent is covered with a lighter-colored bag. It’s the bag that holds the tent poles. When you set your tent down and roll it up, place the bag of tent poles at the start of the folded tent prior to when you roll. This will compress the tent and make it more compact so you can put it back into the bag it came from. For a footprint that fits your groundsheet simply unfold the tunnel tent.

Manufacturers can colour code channels for tents that have more complex designs. At this point you should ensure that the doors have been unlocked. The bottom of the tent close to the sleeve which you have inserted the tent poles into, will be an eyelet or another mechanism to secure the poles. The tent can be made into an arch by fixing the poles into the two ends. It’s easier to do this while the tent is lying on the ground. The next time, inserting the tent pole into each eyelet (i.e. It could take some strength to insert the tent pole into the eyelet the second time (i.e. Check that the tent isn’t bunched with the poles that are in the sleeve .

Bring the tent up from one end. A tent peg is a great tool to hold the tent’s ends. This will keep it in place while you adjust it. What’s wrong with you for not zipped the doors earlier? Well, when you pull the tent up, the space within the tent expands. This causes a vacuum effect that could make standing it up difficult. You can make it more convenient for the air inside the tent to flow through the zippers, which will decrease the effect of vacuum. Now you need to adjust your tent to its fullest extent by stretching it. If the door was still open, the tent may over stretch, making it difficult to shut the doors once it is fully pegged out. Now go around the tent in a peg-out fashion, adjusting the lines, opening vents and making sure any tarp or footprint is folded properly under the tent (so it doesn’t clog with rainwater). You can also ask for help from a family or friend member to set up the tents in the interior. It’s not difficult to put up the outer tents.
