Does that mean tech-draw plans to cut and build with angles for the welding??
No, sorry. I mostly had a play with sizes and possible angles on a simplified drawing. For instance, by slightly changing the sizes of the sides and roof of the tent, you can get easier angles to measure and build ie 100degree angle, instead of 99degree angles.
OTOH at the construction tolerances inherent in tent making and welding of angles, if the tent you design came out at an angle of 99 degrees, you could probably use 100 degrees with impunity.
I expect that by drawing the tent in elevation and side view (what I did last night) and marking the major angles, you could show them to a competent welder and get what you want. Depends on the no of broom sticks you're using too, I guess.
btw. Rowan has already done a design for this tent- I'm sure tenbears asked for and got a copy of the plans. I just wanted to push erudito a bit on the tent making/organisation plans.
