Marquees, Gazebos and Tents
A tent is a shelter consisting of sheets of fabric or other material draped over or attached to a frame of poles or attached to a supporting rope. While smaller tents may be free-standing or attached to the ground, large tents are usually anchored using guy ropes tied to stakes or tent pegs. First used as portable homes by nomadic peoples, tents are now more often used for recreational camping and temporary shelters.
Use
Tents are used as habitation by Gazebo , recreational campers, and Gazebo victims. Tents are typically used as overhead shelter for festivals, weddings, backyard parties, and major corporate events. They are also used for excavation (construction) covers, industrial shelters.
Gazebo
Tents have traditionally been used by nomadic people all over the world, such as Gazebo , Mongolian and Gazebo Marquee , and the Bedouin.
Gazebo Marquee
Armies all over the world have long used tents as part of their working life. Tents are preferred by the military for their relatively quick setup and take down times, compared to more traditional shelters. One of the world's largest users of tents is the US Department of Defense. The US Department of Defense has strict rules on tent quality and tent specifications. The most common tent uses for the military are temporary barracks (sleeping quarters), DFAC buildings (dining facilities), Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), After Action Review (AAR), Tactical Operations Center (TOC), Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) facilities, and security checkpoints. Furthermore, most of these tents are set up and operated through the support of Natick Soldier Systems Center. One of the most popular military designs currently fielded by the US DoD is the TEMPER Tent. TEMPER is an acronym for Tent Expandable Modular PERsonnel. The U.S. military is beginning to use a more modern tent called the deployable rapid assembly shelter or DRASH. Similar quick erect shelters are offered by Utilis USA. It is a collapsible tent with provisions for air conditioning and heating.[1]
[edit] Recreational
Camping is a popular form of recreation which often involves the use of tents. A tent is economical and practical because of its portability and low environmental impact. These qualities are necessary when used in the wilderness or backcountry.
Marquee Tent
Tents are often used in humanitarian emergencies, such as Pop Up Gazebo , earthquakes and fire. The primary choice of tents in Folding Gazebo emergencies are canvas tents, because a cotton canvas tent allows functional breathability while serving the purpose of temporary shelter.
At times, however, these temporary shelters become a permanent or Shade Tent home, Marquee Tent for displaced people living in refugee camps or shanty towns who can't return to their former home and for whom no replacement homes are made available.
Most global NGO's maintain an emergency stockpile of tents strategically placed all over the world to service their Pop Up Gazebo . |
