Winter Tent Design Requirements

The main purpose of the tent is the creation of the most favorable conditions for a person dealing with snow frosty weather.

To stitched independently winter tent turned out to be high quality, pay attention to the following points:

  • The design should not be too cumbersome, Given the constant movement of the fisherman for long distances in search of a catch on a reservoir;
  • As a suitable material, it is better to use a dense tarpaulin, anywithful fabric;
  • When laying and assembling the design of the tent, no significant difficulties should arise;
  • The use of plastic material for the manufacture of the frame is inappropriate, but the aluminum exa will quite cope with all the whims of nature (the standard of strength is several times higher);
  • Winter tent must securely hold in warm air.

Varieties of structures

Among the entire diversity of winter tents allocate two very types of structures:

  1. Automatic.
  2. Arc.

Automatic tents

The positive qualities of this type can be attributed to the fast construction assembly (Due to the presence of flexible metal strips of time on folding and installing a tent takes no more than 20 seconds), ease, mobility.

But there are also its cons, in particular, bad resistance to the wind, especially with its strong gusts. Due to the framework of the framework of the frame, the stability of the tent cannot be improved by any means (stretch marks, pegs, etc.). It has low rigidity, when improper assembly can be brought and breaking away.

The automatic type of winter tents is ideal for one-day fish. The tent-machine is also called a springs tent. Considering the compactness of the design, convenient with frequent movement along the ice.


Arc tent

The peculiarity of this type of tent is in its manual assembly: the awning is attached to arcs at the expense of hooks. As a rule, 2-3 arcs are used for the frame, which are on the outside of the awning.

For the manufacture of arcs, either metal or fiberglass are chosen. Of course, if the arcs are metal or aluminum, the cost will be several times higher. But the fiberglass with its relative cheapness has a low resistance to the external temperature drops (it is very often bursting in the cold).

Arc tents are considered an optimal solution for night fishing.

They are made of durable materials, well tolerate temperature differences, better resist wind gusts, keep warm, reliable in operation.

Required tools and materials for independent manufacture

One of the options for a tent for winter fishing made by yourself is considered to be a design based on a conventional fishing box, which can be bought in each specialized store.

The following materials will also be required:

  • one pair of children's skis and one pair of 160 cm long (school version);
  • dural tubes (suitable tubes taken with ski sticks);
  • cot;
  • tarpaulin.

This design, not quite understandable at first glance, is very effective and convenient in practice. In the end, it will turn out to be a box that can be transported on small skis, plus an easily selected design of the compact tent, which can be moved along the water.

Perhaps the only significant disadvantage of such a product is its small size, but the framework of the frame can be coated under its dimensions.

Stages of manufacturing a tent for winter fishing are as follows:


This is only an indicative option, but already tested in the case. No one bothers the crample to introduce its refinement and make the design even more ergonomic and comfortable.

After examining all the manufacturers of the winter tent, as well as the requirements that it should match, it is possible to create a completely reliable and stable design without difficulty.
