Recently, outdoor camping has become the best choice for everyone’s leisure travel. However, many friends are new to camping and are not familiar with the choice of tents and how to set them up. Let’s learn about the tips for buying tents and the choice of tents below.
Which kind of camping tent is easy to use?
1. Triangular tent: Most of them are double-layer structures, using A-shaped iron pipes as supports at the front and rear, connected by a horizontal bar in the middle to support the inner tent, and the outer tent is installed. The assembly is relatively complicated, but it has better wind resistance and warmth. It is the most common tent style in the early days and is suitable for mountaineering and exploration.
2. Dome tent: It uses double-pole cross support, which is relatively easy to assemble and disassemble, and is also very light, making it convenient to carry. It is currently the most popular on the market and suitable for casual travel.
3. Hexagonal tent: The hexagonal tent uses three-pole or four-pole cross support, and some use six-pole design, which emphasizes the stability of the tent. It is a common style of “alpine” tents.
4. Boat-shaped tent: After being erected, it looks like a small boat that is flipped over. It can be divided into different support methods of two poles and three poles. Generally, the middle is the bedroom and the two ends are the hall. It emphasizes windproof streamlining in design and is also one of the common tent styles.
5. Ridge tent: It is shaped like a small independent tiled house. The support is usually four corner pillars, and a ridge-like structure is placed on top of the roof. This type of tent is generally tall and heavy, suitable for driving enthusiasts or relatively fixed outdoor work camping, hence the name car tent.
Tents are essentially shelters in outdoor high-altitude environments. They are erected on the ground to help us shelter from wind, rain and sunshine, and can provide temporary living functions. For tents used in middle and high areas, they generally have considerable thermal insulation function. Specifically, tents with different shapes, structures, materials, and application scenarios have different functions.
Which type is better?
Freestanding tent
Freestanding quick-open tents are very friendly to beginners. They do not need to be set up by yourself, and if you want to change locations after setting up camp, you can directly move the tent as a whole. Except that the whole tent may be blown away by strong winds when moving the tent, it’s simply perfect. However, if the support of this type of tent relies on steel wire, if the steel wire is damaged, the tent may collapse directly. So for this freestanding quick-open type, it is recommended to use it under low-difficulty weather conditions.
Four-season tent
Four-season tents are excellent in terms of stability and warmth in cold climates. The inner tent is relatively windproof, but it sacrifices some breathability and space for the sake of stability. It is suitable for high altitudes or winter outdoor environments.
In terms of weight, four-season tents generally have more poles, so they are 10%-20% heavier than three-season tents. If you are looking for lightweight options, it is recommended to prioritize three-season tents. They are generally enough to cope with weather conditions without blizzards.
