Tents may be as huge as circus tents or marquees and as small as a bivouac, which can only accommodate one person who is lying down. They are currently used by Mongols as well as Bedouin as well as a variety of other ethnic groups to provide homes. But, they are often essential camping gear for backpackers and vacationers.

Army Tents are typically made up of sheets of fabric, and an underlying structure made of metal or wood and ropes. The ropes and poles hold the fabric together above an earthing sheet that could be made from an extra durable or stronger material than the fabric that forms the roof in the tent. 

The reasons are evident. One primary function of the roof material inside the tent could be to stop rain and to provide shelter. Its groundsheet, however, is also required to stop water from entering the tent. It may also need to be constructed of more robust material to stop insects or bugs from entering the tent or offer a level of comfort that a thinner fabric might not be able to provide.

Tents can be enlarged or enlarged and are able to be quickly deployed just like the forces they accommodate. This allows the occupation of a space significantly easier if permanent structures need not be constructed. 

If a more long-term presence is required, solid bunkers or quarters could be constructed by a small team using – for instance, bricks, tin roofs, and sandbags. During this time, the temporary tents are utilized as a temporary solution.
