The Near-Perfect Tent: Design and Build a Recycled Tent

Step 9 Front Bay-Style Door

I didn't photograph every part of this process, but this step is simple, and I've added pictures of the details:

1.) Piece together or cut-out the solid panel for the door. I had to sew three different pieces of cloth together for this, which is why there's a diagonal stitch across the front door, and a brown strip of cloth down one side.
2.) Piece together or cut out the screen door panel.
3.) If you're using continuous zippers, use a soup can or a bucket of fried chicken to round out the two bottom corners of these--like you did on the side doors. If you're using a couple of zippers, you should have them meet at right angles to each other in the lower corners.
4.) sew the zippers onto these in the same way you sewed them onto the side doors.
5.) match the two pieces with each other and sew their top edges together. This seam doesn't have to be fancy--they'll get a better one when you sew the doors to the roof.
7.) Once you've made this stitch, and sewn the zippers onto both the screen and ripstop doors, match the zippered edges of the two up, pin the unsewn edges of the zippers together, and run a stitch around them.
5.) set aside until final assembly.
