Hello!

So uh, tents anyone?

I think a tent brick would be pretty useful. Nice and sleek, as opposed to building one out of ramps.

Ideally you would be able to place other bricks in it and the flaps that fold to make the doorway would be three dimensional or, well, not ugly.

There was a Lego Indiana Jones set awhile back that included a cool tent. I think something similar might look cool in Blockland.

I like the visible "pole hooks." These things:

Personal preference. :p

And I drew this terrible image to show some potential dimensions:

1blb = 1 1x1 brick

I like the idea of having a 1 by X roof, but again, that's just me. I think those dimensions are pretty decent.

Here's a picture to help you get an idea of how big that is compared to a blockhead:

So yeah! That's about it!
Thanks.

Pointless. Just make one out of bricks.

I'm currently in the process of trying to make one that doesn't suck. Any designs you can recommend? Because I've never actually seen a decent one.

EDIT: To clarify, I have seen and built decent tents, such as this one. However, I want a sleek and simple solution in the general shape of a wedge. I don't want any of the ugly lines and strange crawling spaces.

I am confused with the logic in this picture.

The base is 11x11.
It is 7 bricks tall.
The base is about two bricks tall, therefore the roof is about five bricks tall.
The middle of the roof, over the door, is flat, and is one brick wide.

I consider the most basic brick to be the 1x1 and for simplicity's sake I thought I'd use "Blockland bricks" as a corny fillin measuring unit rather than "studs."
