In your course manual, you will find a list of materials you will be responsible in supplying. These are:
A king size flat sheet
A dozen clothes pins
Tall solid furniture
Please ensure you bring these to every class.
To begin, please open your textbooks to the first chapter. The selection of the proper tent material.
International studies have shown that for optimal tent building, blankets should not be used due to their weight. A flat bed sheet is preferable, as it offers coverage while being lightweight. King size is a must, particularly when building forts for multiple users.
Once the selection of the tent building material is selected, it is imperative that is is inspected for damage. A damaged tent cannot lend to the full enjoyment of the users.
Clothes pins are essential in the security and safety of your finished tent product. Your clothes pins should have a strong working spring and be in good working order. Material is at the digression of the tent builder.
The available furniture is a defining factor as to the shape and dimensions of the tent in question. Select pieces with low centers of gravity, and stable bases If using chairs, ensure no sharp edges are exposed. Turn chairs to face outwards to maximize inner tent dimensions. Secure fabric in at least 2 points on each piece of furniture.
To complete the tent building, step back and access the stability and security of your creation. Enjoy :)
