Do tents have doors?

From the no context thread. I genuinely don't know if there is another name for the bit that you unzip to get in and out.

Feel free to offer alternative / correct names for this part.

Are there more wheels or tents in the world?

Can't say I've ever called it a door. The front of the tent zips and unzips.

Any tent experts on the forum? Camping is gooseberry fool by the way.

Depends really. I'd say it's the side of the tent, then "unzip the side of the tent" in one instance, but then I may call it a door in another.

There can be no argument about that. It's horrendous, but also something I am required to do next week in the service of "friendship".

"Unzipping the front of the tent" just sounds sordid.

Camping is great. Camping it up is even better :capnscotty:

I would much rather do the latter.

All tents are doors to a good time.

Would you class one of these on a tent as a window? If so I don't see why the zip flap at the front shouldn't be called a door

Maybe the doors were the tents we put up along the way.

If you open all the doors on a tent, does it become a gazebo?

Of course tents have doors.

PostRe: Do tents have doors? by **Knoyleo** » Thu Jun 09, 2022 9:33 am

For all in tents and purposes, they're doors.
