1. Construction of the canopy
Whether you’re building outdoors alone or with a group of people, remember to put down the ground pegs and wind ropes before propping up the sky. This habit can go a long way in strong winds.
The first step, try to find a flat and open place, unfold the main body of the canopy;
The second step, adjust the wind rope buckle to 1/3 of the wind rope, set the ground nails at a 45-degree angle to the ground, tie the nail head in the opposite direction to the sky curtain, and fix the wind rope to the rope;
The third step is to support the canopy pole, remember not to be completely perpendicular to the ground, and the bottom of the pole should be slightly placed into the canopy;
The fourth step is to tighten the wind rope, adjust the inclination of the canopy pole, and finally make the top of the canopy stand up and not collapse.
At this point, the canopy is fully constructed.
2. Canopy accessories
The accessories of the canopy generally include three kinds of canopy poles, ground nails and wind ropes. But we also give away an extra canopy tent backpack.
1. Canopy pole
In general outdoor camping, everyone likes to support the sky directly instead of being fixed on a tree, so the Tianzhu becomes the protagonist. Generally, when buying a canopy, two canopy poles are equipped, but if you need to DIY, or the original canopy pole is broken, you have to buy it again.
The advice for purchasing canopy poles is to try to choose poles with high hardness and light weight. If you like DIY, you can choose canopy poles that can be freely spliced. In addition, you also need to pay attention to the length of the canopy pole. The length of the pole affects the height of the canopy.
2. Ground nails
Ground studs are an important part of building a canopy. More or less ground pegs are required unless the entire canopy is tied to the tree while camping. There are also many types of ground nails, such as aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, steel, carbon fiber, etc., and the shapes are also various, but it should be reminded that some ground nails will be distributed when purchasing awnings. If you are a friend who often goes out camping, prepare as many ground nails as possible, because the nails may bend.
3. Wind rope
When camping outdoors, the canopy is generally built on the ground. The wind rope can not only prevent the canopy from being completely nailed to the ground, but also play a traction role. If the sky curtain is fixed on the ground with ground nails, the wind rope connecting the sky curtain and the ground nails plays the role of wind resistance and buffering.
Without the wind rope, the canopy will become the main force-bearing object when the wind is strong, and the appearance of the wind rope will make the canopy sway to a certain extent in the case of strong winds, but greatly reduce the pressure of the canopy. canopy. Fortunately, it is difficult for most people to encounter particularly bad weather when using the canopy, so as long as the ground nails are threaded and the wind rope is pulled, the canopy is very stable.
