    We have a canvas exterior frame cabin tent we set up on a platform. We put a spike at the corners to set the pole over to keep the frame from shifting in wind. A lag bolt would also work. We build the platform every time we set up and is made to move. We wrap the tent with clear plastic on 3 sides to enclose heat and reduce condensation inside. Bringing the plastic down to ground level keeps wind and cold from getting under the tent and keeps the floor warmer. You could also use homesote skirting in a more permanent setup. We tented in winter at 20 below during deer season. We used large spring steel paper clips to hold plastic sheeting in place over the poles. Our fourth side, or front is made of homesote walls, not on a platform, using a steel pipe frame. You could also enclose your porch in clear plastic, plastic tarps, or canvas, held in place using spring steel paper clip clamps attached to the fly. A sheet of plastic attached to a wall where you cook protects the canvas and can be removed and washed. This is our kitchen and place for our wood stove. If you put down indoor/outdoor carpeting remnants and attach them with duct tape, it makes the floor warmer and nicer to walk on. We used Humphrey propane wall lights for light as well as some heat but if you have a generator, I would go with LED lighting. We used steel clothes hangers formed in "s" shapes as hooks inside the tent to hang things over the pipe, They can rust. If you know someone who works for the power company and can get you a section of scrap aluminum wire discarded after a job with multiple strands of aluminum wire, they make better "S" hooks. You have a nice set up but these are things we learned to make a better camp.

    A labor of love right there. Beautiful! I am hankering for this exact setup. It is such a shame because not many in my family feels the same. I am to the point that I want to set one up in the backyard so I get to enjoy it anyway, and I live in suburbia where I am sure my neighbors will think I am crazy. 🤣 I would like to line the inside walls with Havelock wool insulation and get a cute stove. That’s where everyone would find me most of the time.

    I've set these up tons of times. It's far easier to put the legs on one long side first. Then it will be on an angle. Then put the legs on the opposite side in on at a time. We found it to be easiest to also start at the middle and work outward. Just a thought.

    • @mytwelveacres3071
      @mytwelveacres3071  Рік тому

      You are right, that is the recommended method. Our tent is 12x12 so really no long side. At the time it seemed like the best way to set it up with the rain fly already in place. We have had it set up for two years now. If and when we take it down, I will try that way setting it back up. Thanks for watching!

      @@tommmy1313 You can interpret "A FEW HOURS" any way you would like. I didn't keep track, but certainly between 8 and 12 hours. It was built before lumber prices went through the roof, and I had some materials on hand. As far as the rain fly is concerned, for a long term set up like ours, it is a must. Even though the tent is water, mildew and fire resistant, we still want to protect it. We have had this tent set up for over a year now, here is a link to the video. ua-cam.com/video/DkevsJpvu-A/v-deo.html

      So there is no mold mildew or anything else going on after a year?
      Sounds great
      I think I made up my mind about the tent
      I’m in California close to coast and we do have Marine Layer moisture and sometime heavy rains.. I assume the tent without the fly would be considered repellent but not 100% rain proof?
      I’m thinking leaving it set up for long term like yours
      But the whole base and fly structure is not happening
      Instead used pallets and some wood sheets on top have to do
      Think there rain proof tents out there like the one you got?
      Or can it be “ made” proof with let’s say silicone sprays or something alike?

      @@tommmy1313 I think most canvas wall tent manufacturers sell their tents as water resistant to some degree. I think you would be better off getting a cheap poly tarp from your local building supply than spraying anything on your tent. The beauty of canvas is, it is made to be able to breath, allowing moisture to escape. Good luck on your project and thanks for watching!

    Your work is really beautiful! I am fixing to build something similar out west in the northern California wine country. We will use it for our own personal use and also rent out for weekend "Glamping in the wine country". I've only watched a few of your videos so far and plan to watch most of them in the future. One thing I noticed that I have not seen an explanation for... When you originally put the a-frame in place, if was flush sitting on the deck. Then later, it was propped up on blocks by about 4 inches or so. What was the reason for the modification?

    • @mytwelveacres3071
      @mytwelveacres3071  Рік тому

      Hey JP24, Good catch on that! At some point in the planning stage I ended up with a bad dimension. I built the frame before I actually received the tent and rainfly. I found that, after receiving the tent, it was going to be too close to the ridge pole framing. My remedy was to use those blocks to gain the needed height. We are in the FINGER LAKES region and our property was a vineyard many years ago, still lots of feral grapes growing. Thanks for watching!

They do make stock tents, but tent size, window placement, screens, wall height, stove jack and its placement, as well as the rain fly size, are all things you can change to your needs. Our tent is 12 x 12 with a 4 foot extension on the RAIN FLY. Both are custom to what we needed. I did not have any plans and just made the deck and log frame to fit our tent. We really
      enjoy our tent and have stayed in it in all kinds of weather and have always been comfortable. Good luck to you and your family on your tenting adventure.

      For us it's a permanent setup. But you could absolutely use it for short term camping. With some practice it only takes a short time to set it up. These tents are bulky and heavy so you probably would want to carry then too far.
      Thanks for watching!
