1. There are many occasions that may call for a tent. These can range from camping in the mountains to simply spending a night in the backyard. No matter the situation, building a tent is an extremely useful skill. These are basic instructions for simple tents; more complicated tents may be more difficult, and the tent's instructions should always be followed.
2. Survey your tent site and remove any large rocks or sticks from the area where you want to assemble the tent. This protects your tent from getting tears. If you're in a cold area, you should stake a tarp to the ground. 3. Unpack your supplies, laying your tent out with the top up. Some companies color coordinate the poles' ends with the corner guides or sleeves the poles go into. Small tents may be assembled with two long poles, but most tents should have two poles for the top and four poles for the legs. If you have the directions provided by the manufacturer, it's a good idea to review them. 4. Put the poles together to make the frame of the tent. Even if you hate reading directions, at least take a look at them so you know what shape the tent is supposed to be. Tents come in a variety of shapes, the most common being domes, cones, pyramids, or house shapes. It is important that the frame is built correctly; otherwise, the cover will fit awkwardly, if it even fits at all.
5. Once the frame is put together, put the cover on it. If you assembled the frame correctly, the cover should go right on with little struggling. 6. It's a different story if you don't have a store bought tent; if you don't, it will be very difficult to fabricate a tent. Since it would be nearly impossible to make a strong, suitable frame out of things you find (like sticks), it may be better to find shelter in a cave, under trees or a rock formation, or in your car (if it's with you).
