But in reverse state you need more solid performance from the tents. You need to make the choice of how expensive and good you want the tent to be. After all you usually get what you pay for.

How to choose a tent

Tents come in all shapes and sizes and are offered by many retailers today. But getting your hands on a good tent is very difficult. One which will fulfil all your requirements to your satisfaction is very hard to come by. Therefore we are here to guide you through how to choose a tent.

Primarily decide how many persons will be staying in your tent during the night. Now see which gear will be kept in your tent. When you have checked these two then check the size of the tent you are about to buy and check if all your things will fit in it or not. Usually tents come in sizes of persons like a three person or a two person tent. But this measurement should be halved for practical purposes. Any four person tent will hold only two adults comfortably with maybe two small children.

Give a thought to the length and sizes of the people you are going to stay with in the tent before you buy one. If you are seven feet then get an eight feet tent. Add space as you go; you will need this space to cram in your belongings and clothes. Consider also the height of the tent, it should be high enough to let you stand up rather than bend all the time. It is better if you add about one foot to the tallest person in the group and then buy the tent accordingly.

The shape of your tent is an important aspect that will tell you how to choose your tent. There are four types, the A framed, the geodesic, the umbrella and the wall. The umbrella tent is the most widely used tent so far and has a lot of room in it. There is ample standing and resting space along with a nice rain fly. In this regard you might also want to make a mental note; get a square floored tent. These square floored tents are good for sleeping and resting. These tents will not require space management but round floors will.

Coming on to poles of the tent, when getting a tent, go for the aluminium or the fibreglass ones. These poles will come with extra parts so that you can replace if any pole is broken during the set up. Emergency links are a must and you have to keep these. The most important tip on how to choose a tent is the fabric quality. The fabric matters a lot. The fabric will decide how long your tent lasts, what amount of wear and tear it withstands and what weather conditions it bears. Go for nylon fabric tents that are coated for waterproofing. Thicker fabrics are also recommended due to the rip-stop fabric.

The last thing to know on how to choose a camping tent is the cost. Get a good but cheap deal and enjoy. Do not go too high or too low. Too high will mean a loss of money while too low will mean the same but with no performance. I hope that now you know how to choose your tent.
