Capacity
When choosing your tent, first choose the size. It would help if you kept in view that you have extra space for extra friends, your dogs, and your cats etc. Usually, tent capacity depends on the number of people and lugged. You must that the tent capacity is measured through the number of sleeping pads that you can put on the tent ground. This strategy is known as the backpacking principle and is ideal for people who plan their camping trip with a backpack.
Seasonality Tents
Tents should be designed for the relatively temperate condition of winter, spring, summer and fall. They are usually equipped with ample mesh to boost airflow. Some tents are useful for summer use but also trips in early spring and late fall when moderate snow may be encountered. But some tents are suitable for four seasons. Their chief function though is to stand firm in the face of incredibly inhospitable weather, principally in winter or above the tree line.
Tent Features
The first thing about a tent is its height. If you like being able to stand up when changing clothes or enjoy the airiness of a high ceiling, then look for a tent with a tall peak height. The second thing is the length of a tent. If you are tall or like additional space, consider a tent with a floor-length of 90 inches. The fabric of a tent should be of high quality.
Tent Doors
When choosing your tent, think about the number of doors you need as well as their shape and orientation. If you are camping with your family, multiple doors help you avoid climbing over each other for a midnight bathroom break. You should also know that how easy or noisy the doors are the zip open and shut. Zippers on doors resist snagging and breaking better than others.
Rain Fly
A rain fly is made of waterproof material that extends over the tent. A rain fly is a separate waterproof cover designed to fit over the roof of your tent. You can use it whenever rain and dew are expected, or any time you want to retain a little extra warmth. It can protect you from the rain and from the harmful rays of the sun that can be damaged the waterproof coating on your tent. Two rain fly tents are standard. Roof only rain fly allows more light and views while offering adequate rain protection. Full-coverage rainfly offers high protection from wind and rain.
Tent Material
When you go to Bazar and want to purchase cloth for a tent, be aware that higher- denier fabric canopies and rainfly are more rugged than lower denier fabrics on tent floors reduce the odds of leakage. Most tents are made of nylon because, if it is well woven, nylon is both lightweight and extremely durable. Coated nylon is used for waterproofing. Nylon mesh is used for inner walls. However, polyester is slightly heavier than nylon. It does not expand when wet and is more tear-resistant. Canvas tents are very durable, but they are also cumbersome.
Ventilation Tents
Many types of ventilation tents are available in the market.
Mesh panels are often used in the ceiling doors and windows of tents. Air vents in the top tent will help to eliminate condensation on the interior walls of your tent. Mesh panels will allow a breeze to make your tent cooler. Mesh panels allow views and enhance cross ventilation to help manage condensation. For hot, humid climates, seek out larger mesh panels.
Tent Poles
Your tent’s poles should be light and easy to setup. Many types of poles are made out of aluminium because the metal is lightweight and resilient. There are many types of poles. \
- Aluminium tent poles
- Carbon Fiber tent poles
- Steel tent poles
- Fiberglass tent poles
- Inflatable air poles
Fibreglass tent poles are one of the most common pole materials as they do a pretty good job and are one of the cheapest options for poles. Aluminium poles have great strength to weight ratio, are durable, and easily broken. Carbon fibre poles are extreme and slightly lighter than aluminium. But they are costly so mostly found in high-end lightweight.
Common tent shapes:
There are many types of shapes in Bazar. Most common are ridge/ A-frame, including dome, tunnel, geodesic, and pyramid.
Interior Loops & Pockets
A lantern loop is often placed at the top centre of a tent’s ceiling for hanging a lantern. Loops on interior tent walls can be used to attach a mesh shelf. It is also called a gear loft, sold separately to keep small items off of the tent floor. Similarly, interior pockets help keep your tent organized. Higher quality tents will be included loops on the outside of the tent body for attaching guy lines.
Frame Work
A tent with a flexible framework (one that can bend without ripping and breaking) is an essential feature. It would help if you chose a tent with sturdy, good quality poles.
Warranty
A genuinely well – made tent will have a rifle time warranty. Remember to save the company information when you buy a new tent so that you can contact them if necessary. The seller or shopkeeper gives you a warranty for your tent which you bought. It is a significant thing for you. Please don’t ignore this and don’t understand it is a waste of time. It saves your money and also saves you time.
