I was amazed by the idea for a strap system for setting up a tent in the rain described on the “Project Outbound” youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxpmDjB20tQ and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeUtJVLViO8. I decided to design the construction element for such a system which would fit my tent's needs. This is a design for a Decathlon Forclaz MT900 2-person tent and a 10mm webbing
Print instructions
Tested with PET-G, 0.2mm layer, 10 perimeters, 15% infill
Construction instructions
- Print 4 of those parts. If your tent poles are color-coded, preferably print them in corresponding colors for easier setup
- Set up your tent and place printed parts under each pole (using the larger hole)
- Connect the parts using 10mm webbing and secure the connection temporarily with a pin (or an adjuster)
- Take the strap system off the tent
- Unless you've used an adjuster in the step (3), sew the webbings' ends to secure them and remove pins
- Add a webbing loop in the remaining hole - this will be used for attaching the rainfly (skip this if your tent has a different way of attaching the rainfly)
Setting up a tent in the rain
- Lay the strap system on the ground
- Set up poles using the strap system alone
- Attach the free standing skeleton to the ground by placing pegs in remaining (smaller) holes. This will secure your tent from taking off in the wind
- Set up the rainfly on the poles
- (optional) Place a ground sheet under the rainfly to secure the inner tent from the wet ground
- Set up the inner tent under the rainfly (while doing that, reattach the pegs to regular tent's mount places)
Happy (and dry) camping!
