Idea ....

[Surface Tension]

You can attach Instent's toghter.

I've attached Clams together, just butted the two together and opened adjoining doors and attached fabric with clothes pins, worked great!

Right, so why would someone not do this right out of the factory and market it that way?

I am the one that mentioned doing that last year and it works great! We used this on Red lake last year. You do need a heater and a light for both sides. You can join as many together that you would like, but you can only enter from the ends unless you place a door in the middle some where. We did not make a great seal between the two houses but I am sure it would not be that hard.

Surface Tension is correct on attaching Instent's together. I live in the area were they are made so I myself and a few buddies have them. Last year we had 3 7 by 7's together for a total of 35ft. You end up with 6 usable doors and one cool party place!!!!!!! We put them all in a straight line, but we could have made a T if we had wanted to. Just have to make sure you have a few heaters!!!!!

OK, so what's an Instent? Do they have a web page, or other place I can look at one?

I found a web page but they had no pictures, all it said was for a free brocure call this # 1-800-566-TENT.

These are not new ideas, but I thought I would post them any way to see if it sparked ambishion in the inventors on this board....

Why not make a portable house that can connect up with other portables that are the same style. Someone talked about doing that last year with the Cabellas tent kits. Seems to me that it is an idea that could take off. If you and a buddy have the same tunnel style portable house, some velcro and some decent nylon or similar material to but them up against each other and "fasten" together with this piece of material between them, fasten the doors back and you now have a 4 X 16 house rather then 2- 4 X 8's. Make sense? There could be some way to have the doors on the 8 foot side rather then on the ends all of the time and fast 2 or more together that way.
I would think it would be marketable if buddys were looking for houses together and could put together something like this, or if you have a larger family, you could by two of these houses, use one if it is just a few of you going out, and more then that if more than that go out.

Maybe I am wasting space with this on the board. Just a thought.
