How we made the Bender Tent Page






The assistant now holds the ridgepole up so that the other person can put the side poles in place. You'll be amazed just how heavy that canvas really is! phew! make sure you wear deoderant here..

We skipped photoing a step here, We sewed in the outside edge a series of loops. Each loop goes over a stake before we drop the poles on board. This keeps the canvas from leaving in high winds.

Picture that illustrates the text. We have found that it is sometimes easier to put the poles on the stakes before placing them into the ridgepole. This also helps the person holding the ridgepole by clearing some of that canvas weight.
