Tent basics

A tent is a shed that is supported on the ground to shelter from wind, rain and sunlight and for temporary residence. So how much do you know about tents? Here is the content of tent knowledge organized by me. I hope you like it!
Types of tents
The outdoor sports tents are divided into several categories: advertising tents (promotional tents), military tents (civilian tents, construction site tents), large herringbone tents, tourist tents {(3 season tents (for ordinary outdoor activities) and 4 season tents (for winter/high mountains)} disaster relief tents, inflatable tents, and washing tents. Next, we will introduce the differences between these kinds of tents in detail.
It can be divided into quick-opening tent and manual tent according to the way of opening
Construction type
In the early stage of construction tents in China, military tents arose from wartime needs. Because of its durability, suitable fabric, low cost, adaptability to all kinds of terrain, it has also become the preferred tent type for construction tents. This is the embryonic form of modern construction tents.
(1) Tent specification: common specification 5 * 10 5X8 5X6 5X4 3X4 2 * 3
(2) The tent is reasonable in structure, safe and reliable in use, and can bear the load of force 8 wind and 8 cm thick snow at the same time.
(3) The tent is of steel frame structure, simple in structure and easy to unfold. It can be erected or withdrawn by 4 people in about 20 minutes.
(4) The tent (cloth bag+steel frame in total) has a packing volume of 0.8 cubic meters.
Herringbone type
The herringbone roof tent, also known as tent, tent, etc., is mainly used for various large-scale outdoor activities.
The main structure of the herringbone tent consists of two parts, one is the aluminum alloy main frame, and the other is the tarpaulin. In fact, other comprehensive supporting facilities are often equipped to beautify and improve the holding of activities with various themes.
1、 The main structure of the large herringbone roof tent is made of high-strength aluminum alloy profiles. The construction principle is aluminum box beam frame. The support and connection between columns are made of steel components. The roof is reinforced by steel cable diagonal braces. The roof and wall are surrounded by base cloth. The aluminum alloy profile GB/T-6063 standard is selected as the material, which has passed the inspection of the National Nonferrous Metal Quality Supervision and Inspection Center. The base of the tarpaulin project is solid, and the materials and structures used have high integrity and safety. The building structure has reached strict European standards. The whole structure has passed the wind test and damage test of professional institutions.
2、 The tarpaulin uses professional coated fabric PVC. It has durable adhesive properties: the knife scraping coating technology applies the physical and chemical bonding of liquid PVC and fiber, and directly scrapes the slurry onto the fabric; Firm welding performance: the welded fabric can bear great tension, and even in the harsh environment such as hurricanes and frequent operations, it will not affect the sealing degree of the welded joint; Durable service life: a certain thickness not only gives the knife-scratched coated fabric good ultraviolet resistance, but also extends the service life of the product; Good color fastness: Because the pigment is directly immersed in the PVC coating, the coated fabric can be kept as bright as new by scraping. Anti-corrosion, mildew, UV resistance and flame retardance (M2 and B1) all meet international standards. If properly used and preserved, it will not decay and mildew within three to five years. Alpine's name is inspired by the Alps. ALPINE was originally translated as Alps. In Europe, outdoor sports are called Alps sports. Alpine outdoor sports, with a history of more than 100 years, is synonymous with the leisure and comfortable outdoor lifestyle that ordinary people in Europe are keen on.
3、 Supporting system. There are generally six series of supporting facilities for the large herringbone tent, including walls, floors, furniture, lamps, cloth art and other comprehensive supporting facilities. The overall design of everything is unexpected and impossible. It is mainly to provide comprehensive, specific and perfect space solutions for activities of different nature and style.
1. The frame is made of high-quality steel and aluminum profiles, which is solid and safe.
2. The sunshade tarpaulin made of advanced synthetic fiber and double-layer PVC material has the advantages of high strength, wind resistance, rain resistance, sun protection and flame retardance.
3. Easy to assemble and disassemble, it is the best product for outdoor exhibition.
4. The tarpaulin can be folded, and the frame is small after disassembly, which is convenient for transportation and storage.
5. The unit combined structure can be freely added or divided according to the size of the site·
The span of the large herringbone tent ranges from 6 meters, 8 meters, 9 meters, 10 meters, 15 meters, 18 meters to 50 meters·
Simple construction and disassembly·
There is no need for load-bearing pillars inside the large herringbone tent, and the site is 100% used·
There are no special requirements for the construction site. Generally, flat ground such as sand, grass, asphalt, cement and ceramic tile can be used.
Tourism type
Three-season tent: usually light, generally used in spring, summer and autumn in a relatively mild climate. The third quarter accounts can usually perform well in the storm, but the design characteristics also determine that they are generally difficult to cope with excessive snowfall. If a three-quarter tent can barely support the 2-inch thick snow on it, you must be in trouble when the snow reaches 20 inches thick. The three-quarter tent has another feature. It has a certain ventilation design. In order to meet different needs, it is generally designed into a double-layer tent, which is divided into internal and external tents. The internal tent has a full-card mesh internal tent, a half-card mesh internal tent, and some of the internal and external tents can also be used separately, so as to meet the different needs of the spring, summer and autumn seasons.
Fourth quarter account: A stronger fourth quarter account usually adds one or two support rods to make the support system withstand stronger wind or thicker snow layer. The shape of the winter tent is usually designed as a smooth dome to minimize the flat part of the top of the outer tent and prevent the accumulation of snow. Of course, these winter/alpine tents are also suitable for relatively mild climatic conditions. But the weight of their extra support rod makes them heavier than the third quarter account.
The convertible account is a four-quarter account that can be adjusted to a three-quarter account. The adjustment method is usually to remove one or two support rods from the support system of the tent, and provide removable ventilation components in the design, which can be removed or opened in mild weather to enhance ventilation.
The simplest form is a single account. Basically, this kind of tent is just a piece of rain cloth with several vents supported by the tent rod. In warmer weather, the zipper of the vent can be opened to enhance ventilation. Tent - term meaning dome tent: most of the four seasons tents adopt a round spherical roof design. The dome avoids the appearance of plane on the top of the tent and is not easy to accumulate snow, and this design can also better resist the wind and provide enough high internal space. Barracks account: the three-quarter account adopts the design form of barracks account. In this form, the bottom of the account is rectangular, and the account body is narrow and long. The supporting rods and fabrics used in the barracks tent are less, and the whole is wedge-shaped. However, its top surface is relatively flat and easy to accumulate snow. Once it encounters strong snowfall, it is easy to cause the collapse of the tent.
Self-supporting tent: Dome-type tents can be self-supporting. This means that it can support itself without additional piles or bolts. You can easily lift and shift such a tent, just like carrying a large inflatable balloon. You can also easily shake, shake and beat such a tent to shake off the dirty things before unpacking.
