Not every owner country house the construction of a full-fledged gazebo on the site is under the force, in which one could relax. A suitable alternative to an equipped gazebo is an awning for a summer residence. Such an uncomplicated design will reliably protect the hosts and their guests from the sultry sun or rain on a cloudy day.
The concept and purpose of tents, awnings for summer cottages
The first thing to note is that the concepts of a tent and an awning for a summer residence are not synonymous. Awning - fabric canopy, which is designed to protect from bad weather or the scorching sun. The main component of the awning is polyester, synthetic fabric, durable polyethylene, material with protective impregnation.
The tent is understood as temporary structurewhich, if necessary, can be assembled and re-installed in a different location. An integral part of a summer cottage tent is a frame, usually made of aluminum, a metal profile or tube. The frame is covered with water-repellent material. We can say that a tent is practically an awning, but with a frame.
The main task of an awning, a tent in the country is to provide comfort for outdoor recreation. With this design, any site can be turned into a kitchen, dining room, gazebo in a matter of minutes.
The function of the tent (awning) depends to a large extent on the material from which it is made. Lightweight fabric is intended for tents (awnings) that are installed with the aim of protection from the scorching sun. The waterproof fabric is obviously the material for the rainproof construction. There are cases of making tents (awnings) from polyethylene, however, such a material is impractical: it does not allow air to pass through, and is short-lived. mosquito net it is also often used as a material for the manufacture of such structures.
Advantages of tents (awnings) for summer cottages
Among the advantages of awning structures in comparison with foundation buildings:
- ease of construction;
- excellent sound insulation, ensuring excellent outdoor recreation;
- cheapness;
- compact size, ease of transportation;
- durability;
- maintainability of the structure;
- mobility (in some cases).

Before proceeding with the device of the tent in the country, choose the most optimal place for him. Prepare the site: free it from plants, stones, debris. It will be very good if the structure is located in the garden or not far from the flower garden.
Making a homemade awning with a wooden frame
You will need:
- bars (section: 50 × 50, height: 2.7 and 2.4);
- the fabric of your choice;
- wooden boards (thickness: 3-4 cm);
- self-tapping screws;
- metal corners.
During the construction process, proceed in stages:

Your tent is ready.
Repairing a damaged tent (awning)
Despite the excellent quality of the material for the manufacture of awnings (tents), the canvas may tear. In this case, do not worry: the problem is solvable. To repair a tent (awning) you may need:
- a piece of fabric (the same as or similar to the material of manufacture);
- stapler;
- construction hair dryer;
- plywood sheet;

- With frame type: reinforced / automatic / semi-automatic / folding.
- Shape: hexagon, square, sphere, pavilion.
- Large, medium, small - from 2 x 3 and 2.4 x 2.4 m to large hexagons.

- Transmits light for good illumination.
- It allows air to pass through, which eliminates the need for additional ventilation inside the tent.
- Insect protection.
Disadvantages:
- Along with light and air, it also allows odors to pass through.
- Will not protect from the sun and ultraviolet radiation.
Tip: choosing a tent with a counter mosquito net, check the quality of the upholstery and the fabric from which it is made. It is best if it is made of a material that is resistant not only to moisture, but also to the sun, otherwise the sheathing will quickly become unusable.
The denser the sheathing is, the more reliably it should be joined with the rest of the tent.
The best materials are polystyrene, polyester, tarpaulin. They will not work in their pure form - nylon, nylon, linen, acrylic, but also with mixed fabrics, be careful and check their properties.
Tourist tent with mosquito net

Preparing to build a tent
Before proceeding with the construction of the tent, it is necessary to complete all measurements and draw up a simple drawing with their indication. The simplest design is a stationary product made of wooden beams.
The frame drawing of a wooden tent must contain all dimensions
When installing wooden supports for a stationary tent, it is necessary to take into account that it will stand in the open air throughout the year. Therefore, the material for the frame must be strong, high quality and reliable.
For support posts, you can take a rounded or glued beam, as well as a pine or spruce board, since it is least exposed to the decay process. Less commonly, oak, larch or fir boards are used, since these are expensive lumber for such a lightweight structure.
Wooden beams are ideal for the tent frame
As a covering material for a tent, you can take:
Tent fabric has different subtypes:
- Oxford. Waterproof material made of polyurethane or PVC (polyvinyl chloride). It is a durable and elastic nylon fabric that is highly resistant to temperature changes. Disadvantages: highly electrified and has a low degree of fire resistance.
Oxford tent fabric for tent is durable and elastic
- Taffeta. Fabric that is made from polyester or nylon with a special structure. The base material is coated with a polyurethane or PVC protective layer. Advantages: resistance to aggressive chemical environments, repulsion of fatty substances. The nylon fabric has a high degree of waterproofness, strength and wear resistance. Disadvantages: electrified and practically not hygroscopic. The polyester fabric does not stretch, is highly breathable, dries quickly, but not strong enough for a stationary tent.
Taffeta Tent Cloth for Tent Shelter is not suitable for fixed structure
- Teflon with cotton. It is a thin fabric consisting of two layers (top cotton and bottom Teflon). Most suitable for the manufacture of light summer coverings for a tent and other country structures.
Tent fabric Teflon with cotton for tent is very light

Calculation of the required amount of material: tools for work
To build a simple tent with timber frame you will need:
- timber - 2.4 and 2.7 m (diameter 5x5 cm);
- wooden boards - 3-4 cm thick;
- durable material for walls and roof;
- metal corners;
- building level;
- nylon thread for marking;
- brace or shovel;
- self-tapping screws and electric screwdriver;
- sand, cement and crushed stone.
Step-by-step instructions for building a summer cottage with a mosquito net
After careful preparation for making the tent, you can start the process itself. It consists of several steps:
- Choose a place to build a tent. Remove excess vegetation, stones and debris from the territory. Mark the points for the supports and pull the construction thread. After making sure that all corners are even, start digging holes with a brace or a shovel to a depth of about 50 cm for the supports of the future tent.
Drilling holes for supports can be performed with a special device
- All wooden elements must be primed before installation and allowed to dry completely. Then install them in the corners in the dug holes and compact them well with earth. You can concrete them, and then the structure will be more stable.
Wooden supports for the tent frame must be concreted
- In order for the roof of the tent to turn out to be single-pitched, you need to make two supports on one side 20 or 30 cm higher than on the other.
- Fasten horizontal transverse boards for the strapping device between the supports from above and below. Also, on top of the crossbars, it is necessary to lay a wooden crate so that the fabric does not sag.
A tent with a pitched roof is not as difficult to build as it seems
- The floor (base) of the tent can be made of wood by nailing the boards to the lower harness or lay it out with paving slabs, stone, fine crushed stone, purchase a natural or artificial turf.
Paving slabs can be used as a base for a tent
- The wooden frame of the tent must be impregnated with antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal agents, and then painted with oil paint or water-repellent varnish.

- The metal frame supports can be driven deep into the ground. The tent will be strong and stable due to its light construction.
- If you plan to install the structure on an asphalt surface, then special "heels" can be welded to the legs of the metal frame, which will serve as additional supports. You can also install the tent on paving slabs, stone surfaces, etc. For a more secure attachment of the heel, you can nail it with special dowels or anchors to the asphalt surface.

For relaxation, many different options tents in various configurations and varieties. We will try to understand in more detail what its advantages are, how it differs from other camping devices, its types and assembly scheme.

By form and design features
Tent shapes are four or hexagonal, "star" or arched marquee. The walls can be straight or sloping. Sloping sides give great stability in strong wind gusts. The roof is made mostly sloping. It drains water better and adds elegance to the entire product.
For the soft part, use synthetic or polyurethane fabrics. In more expensive versions, they are impregnated with a water-repellent solution. The frame is made of metal or combined plastic.
How to choose the right one
The choice of a tent depends primarily on where and for what it is planned to use it. For hikes or trips to nature in the warm season, it is better to purchase a tourist multifunctional tent.
A fold-out or quick-build campground is perfect for a garden lunch or picnic.
For long-term use in the yard or garden gazebo, you can purchase a wind-resistant summer version without walls.
Many owners of private houses buy a 3x3 garden tent, which serves them as a gazebo where they can dine or simply receive guests in the fresh air.
At a wedding or other festive event, you can achieve originality or an unusual atmosphere for guests by purchasing a large exclusive version.
