Family tents for tents come in different shapes and sizes. One that suits your needs may not be the best for someone else. That is why there is so much variety created for the outdoor enthusiast market.
- Formation of tent selection
Tents come in four basic forms: A-frame, umbrella, geodesic or “dome” and wall. A-frame is the traditional old-style “puppy” shape, but can also be quite large. An umbrella is a commonly used family awning with a lot of standing room, including large windows and a rainy fly. A geodesic dome has many variations with different combinations of connected triangles. The walls of the tent are like an A-frame tent, but are usually much larger and have vertical side walls and are most often used in military applications and intelligence camps (they are usually installed on permanent decks).
Tents with square floor forms are more effective when planning sleep and mechanisms. If you decide to purchase a tent with a round or oval floor, you should plan additional space to compensate for less efficient layout.
- Size matters
Tents are marked as two people, four people, six people, etc. In the best case, this describes most of the people you can cram into the tent for sleeping, without storing any of your personal belongings. This sizing is suitable for tourists who pack light, but makes no sense for the average tourist.
Why tow to your tent? The drawing is about using a tent at half its rated capacity, and you should have enough space for two adults and most of their equipment. Each person must have at least 24 square feet of space; plenty of space for your playground, sleeping bag and equipment. If you are planning a long trip, you can increase the square length depending on the amount of equipment you are going to bring.
Do not forget to buy a tent that is wide enough / long enough so that you can stretch out when you sleep ... a high sleeping bag will be very cramped in a 6-inch case. wide tent; keep at least 1 foot of the canteen. For each sleeping bag, you will need a minimum of 30 "space in the sleeping tent.
Adding a “dry” vault for your equipment and enough space to get out of the tent without attacking your tent mate will result in more pleasant outdoor recreation. With this in mind, 8 8 & the tent will work well, like a tent for a family of 2 people. This gives each tourist 32 square feet to decompose their gear and bedroom. BUT, 10 * the tent is much more suitable for two adults (looks like an overkill, huh?). This size tent will have enough space for air mattresses, beds or pillows and still has enough room to get up when changing clothes.
Be careful when buying a tent larger than 10 inches. First, finding the right place to feed such a large item will be a problem. You need a place as high as possible. Secondly, large tents are extremely heavy and bulky to carry. Finally, it may be better to have several small tents so that everyone does not share the same sleeping, changing, and living space.
Peak height is very important for your comfort. For most trips, try to have a tent that is tall enough to stand. Plan higher people in your group. For adults, a height of six or seven feet is needed, and a peak of four feet is suitable for children. Remember that the tent leans down at a sharp angle, so the actual place where you can stand will be small. Larger spaces will be provided in tents with higher peaks.
Children can comfortably sleep in small tents. Once they are old enough, about seven or eight people, they will probably want to sleep in a separate tent. Parents will appreciate the privacy provided by this organization. Five to seven-foot tent is adequate to the young mind. Teens should be considered adults when fitting a tent.
- Support your local tent - the Poles
The Poles included in most of the tents available today are made of aluminum or fiberglass. Better tents are usually supplied with specially made aluminum poles with a high degree of flexibility. Fiberglas shelves are included on most camping days. tents. The poles are usually connected together with an elastic pin. This speeds up the setup process (important when doing it in the rain!). Poles, when improper handling can bend or break, as many tent manufacturers provide repair kits for you to carry around.
- Stitches for me This is important
The seams should be reinforced with nylon tape and double stitched. The tape is sewn into each seam, which reinforces the seam and adds to the weather conditions. All watertight seams on the fly and on the floor (or in the bath) are usually sealed at the factory with a seam sealant. Set up a tent in the yard before using the first tent to test the pitching process. You can also use this opportunity to go to your local sporting goods store to buy a seam sealant and waterproofing spray. It is always a good idea to do this to ensure a dry ride. Make sure you let the tent dry before packing it back.
- the cloth
Almost all modern tents are now made of nylon. Coated nylon is used for waterproofing. Nylon mesh is used for interior walls and pockets. For window screens, the No-see-um grid is used. In the best tents thicker fabric and fabric with a gap is used.
- Hi !!! Zip It Up!
Make sure when you go out to buy your tent ... check the zippers. They should open and close with ease and should not catch the fabric of the tent. Lightning must be rust resistant.
- Hot and cold flashes and "Why is my tent shaking?"
Weather changes will make a lot of demands on your tent.
Wind conditions will require strong poles, stakes and anchor routes. Dome tents operate exclusively in the wind. Their rounded design reduces the effect of the wind, and their pole position provides greater strength.
Rain causes two problems. Keeping yourself and your dry clothes in the first place. Secondly, you need enough space for all the tents to be comfortable if the storm is out of order. it becomes necessary.
The floor should be made of waterproof coated nylon covering the floor, and turning the sides approximately six inches, creating a bath. There should be a minimum amount of seam (the more you have, the greater the chance of leakage). It will contain water that drains under the tent.
Make sure that your tent has a rain proof made of nylon with a coating. The fly should turn around the tent and go to the sides, leaving only a few inches of space between it and the ground. It should stop raining, even in windy conditions. The fly must pass far enough above the door, so it does not allow rain when you open the door to enter or leave. Some tents even have a lobby that allows it.
Sunlight and its warmth welcome a great need for shade and air flow. A rain fly will provide shade. Screen windows on opposite sides of the tent or a shielded window in front of the screened door will allow air to pass through the tent.
Long excursions in cold weather require a special, heavy 4-year-old tent. If you do not plan to do winter camping, you can use a “three-season” awning, which has the features mentioned above. The most important features are rain, which completely covers the top and side surfaces to keep snow and other precipitations at bay, and the inner layer, made of open mesh, to allow water vapor to exhale from the tent. In cooler weather, the water vapor inside the tent from the damp, outside air and the air exhaled from inhalation will condense on the inner surface of the tent. This can be prevented by allowing airflow through the tent or by passing through mesh fabric.
The size of the tent is also discussed with camping weather. A small tent will stay much warmer than a big tent with the warmth of your body.
- You get what you pay for
As a rule, more expensive tents are made with more durable fabric, gears and stitches. They are designed to withstand strong wind and more rain. A good tent that takes good care can last many years.
Remember that not everyone will need this durability. The milder the weather in which you enter, and the closer to home you camp, the better the solution will likely be the less expensive awning.
If you're just starting a camping trip and don't know if you will like it, you can start with a less expensive installation. Your first trips are likely to be when the weather is warmer, and you probably won’t go deep into the wilderness until you get some experience and decide whether you want to camp or not. Remember that you can always upgrade your equipment later.
