Gather 12 bamboo poles, or any other type of poles, and cut them to equal lengths. They should be of the same diameter as well. Make sure the poles are three feet longer than the width of the fabric you will use as a cover.
Take three poles and place them on the ground. Take some rope and tie the poles together just off the top, so that they can form a tripod. Leave the rope hanging from the top.
Dig the other ends of the three poles into the ground and arrange them at an equal distance.
Dig the remaining poles, one by one, into the ground, forming a circle. Lean the poles onto the tripod structure that you made. Use the rope hanging from the top of the tripod to tie all the poles together.
Take the fabric for the cover and a measuring tape. Mark a semicircle with a diameter that is twice the fabric width. For example, if your fabric is 15 feet wide, make a 30-foot semicircle. Make a cut in the middle of the semicircle for the smoke flaps.
Cut out half circles at both ends of the fabric to form a round opening, when the semicircle is joined.
Cut out holes along the edge of the semicircle. Take a rope and run it through these holes. Fasten the rope to the top, this will help when putting up the cover.
Grab the cover and hang it around the frame. Secure the cover with pegs at the top. Take wooden pegs and insert them through the holes along the bottom of the cover into the ground.
