How to Build an Outdoor Picnic Tent259

Picnics are a great way to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. But if you're planning a picnic in an area with little or no shade, you'll need to bring a tent to protect yourself from the sun and rain. Building a picnic tent is easy and only requires a few simple materials.

Materials You'll Need* Tarp (10' x 10')
* 4 poles (6'-8' long)
* 4 stakes
* Paracord or rope
* Hammer

Instructions1.

Lay the tarp out on the ground and spread it out so that it forms a square or rectangle. The size of the tarp will determine the size of your tent.2.

Place the poles in the corners of the tarp. The poles should be long enough to support the tarp off the ground and create a peak in the center of the tent.3.

Stake the poles into the ground using the stakes. Make sure the stakes are driven in securely so that the tent is stable.4.

Tie the paracord or rope to the top of each pole. Then, bring the ropes together and tie them to a tree branch or other overhead object. This will create a peak in the center of the tent and provide additional support.5.

Your picnic tent is now complete! Enjoy your picnic in the shade and comfort of your own tent.

Tips* If you're using a tarp that is not waterproof, you can waterproof it by applying a waterproofing spray.
* You can also use a net or screen to make the tent more bug-proof.
* If you're planning on using the tent in a windy area, you can add additional stakes or guy lines to secure it.
* Make sure to pack up your tent and all of your belongings when you're finished with your picnic.

Enjoy Your Picnic!
