Question

Can I use a broom to create an indoor tent?

Anya G.

Community Answer

Yes, but you will need to secure it to a chair or couch. Make sure you don't cover it with a heavy comforter, though.

Question

Is there any other way we can build a tent?

Community Answer

If you have bunk beds, cover the space between the two beds with a sheet or blanket.

Question

I'm trying to make a tent for a school project and need to fit my family. How do I do this?

Community Answer

Use four chairs about three feet away from each other and a couple of tablecloths/blankets on top. Secure them with rubber bands. It's very basic, but will fit everyone. If you're looking for a classic "A" frame, you can use some hiking sticks or tree branches and tie them together with rubber bands. Then, just drape a cloth over. It should look something like this: /¯¯/\.

Question

What can I use instead of chairs? Can I use a large bed?

Community Answer

Yes, you could do that. If you have one of those beds that has really long poles, just put a blanket over the top. Otherwise, it'll be a bit hard unless you make the tent on the floor alongside the bed and use the bed as one wall but you'd still need chairs or something on the other side.

Question

Can I use curtains?

Community Answer

Yes, but they have to be bigger curtains. Curtains can be used like blankets, you just have to flatten them out.

What should I do if I don't have chairs?

Community Answer

You can make it with a table. Put blankets over the table so that they hang off each side.

What can I tie the string to when making a simple indoor tent?

You can tie it to a door handle, leg from a table, handle from a closet, bookcase, etc. Just be sure that it won't break or fall, or cause a tripping obstruction to anyone.

Question

Is it safe to make an indoor tent?

Community Answer

Usually it is perfectly safe to make an indoor tent. Just make sure nothing heavy can collapse onto it and set it up away from people walking or moving around in case they bump into it.

Question

Can you do your work in your tent?

Ranyiah

Community Answer

You can do work if you like in your tent. If you have a lot of work make sure that the tent is spacious and has sufficient light and room for books, laptop, etc. Customize it just the way you like it. You can even purchase an office tent for working in if you like.

Question

If I wanted to create a tent using only a small amount of space, how would aim do that?

Community Answer

It depends on how small the space you use. If you build it in your closet, make sure you can get in. Don’t close the door, so you have more space. You can make it cozy with blankets, pillows, and a nightlight.

Question

What do I tie the string to?

Otterly Badgerific

Top Answerer

An indoor tent can be tied onto various things, such as chair rungs, seat backs, table legs, door knobs (as long as the door isn't going to be opened and shut), hooks on the wall, etc. Whatever you choose, ensure that it is sturdy, won't move and won't cause anything to fall onto you or the floor.
