The simplest tent you can build with a single piece of waterproof sheet (nylon in your case) is the basha tent or a tarp tent.

A basha tent can be pitched up in a matter of minutes if you know what you are doing (having two trees to serve as your vertical uprights helps too!). Just follow the steps.

Material Required

  • 1 Groundsheet (in actual use, its good to have 2, so you have something to lie on)
  • 6 pegs
  • 4 rope/string for guy lines
  • 1 longer string across as the middle piece
  • 2 Dodge sticks
  • 1 mallet
Step 1

Spread out the basha where you intend to pitch it up. You would want to position the ground sheet such that the length of the ground sheet is the length of your tent (as shown in picture). Once you have done that, setup the 2 gadget poles and tie a string across. To set up the 2 gadget poles, you could either mallet it down or/and secure it to a peg pulling in the opposite directions. You could either set the string across higher up or lower down depending on how water proof you want you tent to be and how easy to move in and out of it.

*It is better to setup the basha between 2 trees as they are more secure than gadget poles

Step 2

Spread the groundsheet over the middle line. Tie the four corners to the string and peg in the four corners. Pull the guylines tight . Pull on diagonally opposite sides together for best tensioning (as shown in picture). Having the guy lines go away from the basha at around 45 degrees is best.

Step 3

Adjust all four corners one at a time until the ground sheet is taut and evenly spread out.Step 4

The basha is setup. Put a groundsheet in the mid
