Bell Tent, 14 ft: Twenty-Two Duck Sections, a Galvanized Hoop at the Apex and a Two-Piece Pole (Boy Mechanic, 1913)

A round bell tent 14 ft across "for lawns, as well as for a boy's camping outfit", from The Boy Mechanic (1913): twenty-two tapered sections of unbleached tent duck sewn into a cone on a small iron hoop, a 2 ft 2 in wall, three ventilators, webbing-bound edges with eyelets for the stay ropes, and one centre pole. Sizes are his; the pole length is worked out from them.

Read The Boy Mechanic

"To make such a tent, procure unbleached tent duck, which is the very best material for the purpose."
3

Cut and sew the cover

Cut 22 sections of unbleached tent duck, each 10 ft 6 in long and 2 ft 2 in wide at the bottom, tapering in a straight line to a point; these sizes allow for lapped seams. Double-stitch the seams on a machine. Sew the last seam only 4 ft down from the top, leaving the rest as the door, and stitch an extra gusset at the end of it so it will not rip.

Bind the edges and cut the ventilators

Fold back the edges of the opening and the bottom edge of the cover and bind them with wide webbing, 3 in across, with eyelets at the seams for the stay ropes. Near the apex cut three triangular ventilators 8 in long and 4 in wide at the bottom, and hem their edges.

Make the pole, pegs and blocks

Make the tent pole 3 in in diameter in two sections with a socket joint, rounded at the top to fit the apex; its length is about 10 ft (our figure from step 1). Cut small pegs for the wall loops, stakes for the stay ropes, and a wooden block for each stay rope to hold its end and adjust its length (his Fig. 6).

Pitch it

Raise the cover on the pole. Fasten the wall down with loops of stout line on its lower edge and small pegs driven through them into the ground. Run the stay ropes from the eyelets in the cover to stakes in the ground, through the blocks, and adjust them until the cover is tight.

History and honest limits

From **The Boy Mechanic**, edited by H. H. Windsor, Popular Mechanics, Chicago, 1913, p. 190, "How to Make a Bell Tent", credited to the Cleveland Plain Dealer; text checked on the 1913 scan. He gives no pole length, number of stay ropes or peg sizes: the pole length is our geometry. Thread, tools and metric figures are ours.
