abandoned tent

N.M.

The problem with commercial products is they don't make them with state of the art materials.

And the fabric could be degraded by U.V. exposure. The fiberglass poles could be degraded.

Then, all the clear areas of fabric are too small to make much. I used a tent to make booties and stuff. Stuff bags would be good.

Can you use the tent as is? Or give it to someone that could use it? Boy Scouts or something? It would make a good car camping tent maybe.

I'd be wary of the fabric, long exposure to UV really weakens nylon.

Years ago I set up an old tent for the kids to use in the backyard. It was out there for an entire summer. That fall I took it car camping. During the night it rained a little and got a little windy, by the morning the tent fabric just gave way and the tent sort of split in two.

Once you get it cut apart you'll find there probably aren't any particularly large panels of fabric to work with. You could certainly stitch up some stuff sacks for general use (fabric will be heavier than UL materials).

I watched a movie where this woman, who was also a pretty good singer, who cut up the house drapes and made play clothes for the kids she was taking care of. If there is not enough fabric to make play clothes than I vote for the stuff sack idea……
