Tents were usually the primary skin or animal tissue held by a pair of logs. Today's tents have all sorts of useful features. This is especially true when it comes to higher quality tents. They have more features. Without knowledge of these features, you may not know how to compare tents other than price.
1. Poles. Most poles are made of aluminum or fiberglass. In general, aluminum tends to be stronger and does not collapse just as easily, but depends on the amount of material used. There is also a tip problem. A tip is a piece that goes between the poles to help them stick together. When a fiberglass rod is used, the tip is on the outside. When landing poles through the tent can often be grabbed tip. With aluminum profile poles, the tip is located inside. This facilitates the sliding of the pole through the tent.
2. Rain Fly. Most tents have a hole for ventilation at the top of the tent. This hole is used to prevent condensation inside the tent. Of course, if it starts to rain, you become very wet. That is why the top of the tent is used. The cover is called a rain fly, and it can be removed and removed.
3. Pockets - they are used in tents for storing important things that must remain dry or easily accessible from the ground. You can think of them as comoders for your tent.
4. Material of the tent. Most materials are designed for mm or millimeters thickness. From 2000 to 5000 standard for 3 seasonal tents. Tents that are not so thick cannot effectively reflect rain and snow. Some tents are shipped from the factory, pre-sealed and covered. Sealing is like waxing your car. Instead of you doing this process initially, some tents have already been supplied with a sealant over the material and seams.
5. Tub - this is the bottom of the tent. Better tastes will use stronger material at the bottom of the tent. This should help prevent rainwater leakage, as well as protect the tent from the roots or rocks that can break the bottom of softer material.
The above features are not always discussed in typical marketing literature. However, they can make a big difference in how long your tent lasts, depending on where and how you use your tent.
