Solo camping, how to build a canopy alone?

I think it should not be difficult to build a canopy alone, right? Fix the pole.
Once the wind rope is pulled, it will all work.
I am still too naive!
Fixed the pole, I thought a long nail tied to the ground will be OK.
It turns out that
Pole tied to a nail is not secure, easy to fall over (or maybe I rope tied not secure enough).

Underline.
Then I used two spikes.
The rod will be sandwiched in the middle of the tie on the good, and not easy to fall over. Just like this picture below.

After the pole is tied, we must pull the wind rope fixed.

Finally, to sum up, a small experience of a single person to build the canopy, I hope it will help a little.
Prepare the following tools: two 40CM ground nails, a wind rope, a hammer.
Of course, do not forget your canopy.
Step 1: Find an open space, the canopy will be laid out flat.
If there is wind, you can find some existing tools (such as holding boxes), the canopy will be a few corners of the pressure.
Do not use nails or hammers to press, because the wind is strong, it is possible to blow the canopy up.
Then the canopy will hammer or nails thrown out. May hit people or small animals.
may also cut the canopy.
If the if.
The wind is very strong, super strong.
Then do not set up the canopy.
Directly tent or go home and forget about it, do not toss on a windy day.
A little too much crap.

Back to the point.

The second step: the ground nails into the ground.
About smash a 20CM into.
This will not be too shallow because it is not strong, and not too deep because it is not easy to tie the pole.
Step three.
Put the pole in the middle of the two ground nails, with wind rope tied tightly.
Warm tips.
When tying the pole, it is best to hang the canopy on the pole first.
I tied the pole first.
Then I found that the canopy can not be hung, and finally dismantled to start over.
Later I found that the pole can be removed, the top two sections will be removed, hanging canopy on it!

Ugh ...

Fourth step.
Pull the wind rope, wind rope do not pull too tight.
It is best to first tie the rod side of the three wind rope first pull good.
So that it is not easy to be blown down by the wind.
Step 5: pull the other pole can be.
This pole will not be fixed with nails.
Use one hand to stand up the pole.
The other hand to pull the wind rope, the wind rope ground nails smashed into the trend can be.
The last step: pull all the wind rope tight. According to the shape of the canopy, adjust the position of the wind rope nails, and
Pull tight.
Done! Canopy more than a few times to build a breeze.

Campers, camping season is coming, are you ready?
