Equipment

  • Drill
  • Saw

Ingredients

  • 5 2 x4's
  • 2 9 x12 super stiff painters cloths
  • Screws or nails

Instructions

  • We chose to make this tent at a 45 degree angle, meaning that you take the 4 support 2x4's and cut the ends off at a 45 degree angle.
  • Next, attach them to the crossbeam. You may need a partner to help hold them while you screw them into place for this step. We used two screws for each board.
  • Then, to stabilize the tent, attach a piece of wood to the center support beam and to the leg. Do this two times, one on each opposing side of the tent.
  • To attach the drop cloths, we simply stapled them to the top support beam and to the legs.
  • That's it! We ended up nailing eight nails along the crossbeam to attatch lights, and throwing blankets and pillows all over the inside to decorate! Use your imagination and have fun making it your own!
