Camping Tents
Camping tents are portable shelters that are usually small enough to be folded and carried easily. They allow people to explore the mountains and wilderness and still have protection from the weather while sleeping. Most people who hike several times a year will invest in a good-quality tent. There are many types of tents available and several factors are important considerations when buying a tent.
Camping tents are available in many different sizes, shapes and styles. The tents are made of a sheet of fabric attached to a structure of poles. Contemporary tents have durable water-proof fabrics as well as foldable aluminum poles. Choosing the right tent is often determined by the activity the tent is intended for and the number of people it will shelter. Here are a few descriptions of some of the most common camping tents.
A-frame Tents
A-frame tents are the most traditionally built camping tents, featuring triangular poles on both ends. A pivotal pole is also placed above the two triangles to provide additional support for the fabric. There are also A-frame tents that have a ridge-pole between a center hoop and the two end supports to form a spacious interior. These camping tents are pretty easy to put up, but they may not withstand stormy conditions. A-frame tents are very light, but are fairly small and not a good idea for larger groups of people. Campers will usually need a tarp for extra protection from the weather. These tents also have steep walls, giving campers limited headroom. However, the simple design appeals to many people.
Cabin Tents
Cabin tents are typically large. They are supported by a structure of jointed poles that can be assembled and disassembled whenever needed, without difficulty. Despite the weighty nature of cabin tents, they provide supreme floor space and generally have an elevated ceiling that helps to create a roomier interior. Cabin tents are suitable for a large group of campers as they provide sufficient floor space and can also be divided into a number of sections or “rooms”. In addition they are quite durable. Cabin tents provide a lot of space and are great for group or family camping. This tent is best for car camping, where campers will not have to carry the tent around during the day. Choose this for larger families and groups of people who go camping.
Dome Tents
The dome tent has a basic structure, sporting a couple of jointed poles that are crossed to form an “x” pattern on which the tent rests. The tent itself is usually a square or a hexagon area. There are numerous sizes available in these types of tents and provide a great deal of headroom and space to store equipment. Square domes have two poles while hexagonal tents usually have three poles. Dome camping tents are extremely strong and can withstand stormy conditions, although the crisscrossing poles make them a bit difficult to put up. However, these tents are light-weight and can effortlessly be carried from one place to another without the need to dismantle the whole structure.
Single Hoop Tents
This is a tent that has only one curved pole. Usually only large enough for one or two people to sleep in, they are fairly stable if the hoop is running with the wind. This is a great type of tent for backpacking and cycling because of tits small size and light weight.
Backpacking Tents
These tents usually have a lightweight design that makes them very convenient to use. They are designed to shelter just about two people and owing to their small size, they are exceptionally light to carry. Nearly all of them collapse into a small wrap-up and can be set up or taken down rather quickly. People often use them for extended hiking trips since they are very flexible and the built in mesh provides excellent air-flow inside the tent.
Four Season Tents
This tent is at times called winter camping tent and is the most ideal tent to carry during the winter season. Four season camping tents are very versatile as they cover all the seasons. One great benefit of this kind of tent is that it is enclosed with broad and bulky walls which provide maximum insulation against the wintry weather. In addition, the four season camping tents are extremely durable and can withstand the harshness of chilly wind and temperature.
Choosing the right tent for an excursion can make or break a camping experience. So it is always important to buy high-quality brands of camping tents that will meet your specific needs.
