DIY Roof Top Tent Project

Follow
Nicholas K.

This is a quick video of my DIY Roof Top Tent project I've been working on for the past few weeks. My wood working and sewing skills are very rudimentary but still managed to get it done and I'm very happy with the end result. It was a fun project and I will probably make another in the future. The biggest problem I ran into was that the method I used to attach the zippers took up a few inches of material and caused the entire tent material fit to be off so I had to add a 4" piece in the middle of the front to fix it. Note to self...add zippers before cutting the fit next time!

Here is a link to the hinge if anyone is interested. It is made by US Plastic Corp.
