4 Steps To Making Your Own Cherokee Camping Tent

By Timothy Harris


Camping tents are available in a wide selection of styles, shapes, and sizes. Choosing the right one can be a difficult decision until you consider your specific camping needs and a number of other factors that will help you to determine the best Cherokee camping tent model for you.

Let's begin with the right kind of material you will need to build your camp canvas. If you plan to go out on your own, you will need to make a single person canvas. A ready made canvas can cost you as little as 20 dollars. However, you could put your canvas together for next to nothing. If you choose to buy one from the market you will find no dearth of choices, from colors, quality and weight, you think it and you can find it.

So, now we come to the part of learning how to "pitch" your canvas. "Pitching" is a term meaning "building" or "putting up" a canvas. Follow these simple camp instructions regarding pitching your canvas, and you will have a canvas up and ready in no time at all.

If you plan to camp with children, a cabin style canvas may be more appropriate. These canvasses are designed as their name implies with plenty of headroom, large doors and windows, and lots of space. Multi-room canvass allow you to easily divide the canvas into separate sleeping areas for mom and dad and the kids.

When choosing your camp canvas, in addition to the weather check out other important factors, such as danger from wildlife and what you can expect the recreational facilities will be. Camp canvass are ideal also for those that do not like the idea of sleeping in sleeping bags out in the open.

Many canvass are supplied with "stacks." These are pegs that need to be hammered into the ground with a rock, and the canvas is secured to these with ropes. This will ensure that the canvas will not blow away with the wind leaving you without cover.

Once you have decided what size canvas will best suit your needs and have an idea of what style you plan to purchase, you should consider the craftsmanship and quality of the canvas. Check the stitching and the seams of the canvas. A high-quality canvas usually uses reinforced stitching and may feature inverted seams to minimize the risks of rips.

Another important consideration when choosing camp tents is the cost involved. You can buy a tent that only costs only a few hundred dollars, but others can cost a few thousand and it really depends on the quality, size, strength as well as manufacturer. As everyone who has bought camp tents will have realized, they are a great purchase and will be your first step in having many wonderful vacations for years.
