About products and suppliers

A camping tent is a temporary housing unit meant for outdoor sleeping. There are a number of factors to consider before purchasing a pop-up tent ranging from capacity, weather, terrain and portability.

What are the key tent features?

Capacity is a key feature to consider. A small 2-person tent is suitable for 1-2 people but will not work for families looking to share a tent. Floor length should also be taken into consideration, most people under 6 feet tall will be comfortable in a standard 84-88 inch length tent but a taller person will require more space. Another feature worth considering is height. Cabin-style tents have vertical walls which maximize the overall peak height, a great feature for campers who want to be able to stand while changing clothes. However, dome-style tents are stronger and can resist wind better which is essential on stormy nights and camping in the rain. However, as the name suggests the dome style will have more of a slope and less overall height. Other considerations should be made regarding how many tent doors are needed, the strength of the tent poles, and add-on features such as a rainfly, garages and interior loops and pockets. Finally, campers should look for tent accessories such as a broom and dustpan set, tent repair kits, seam sealers, utility cords and battery-powered fans.

What types of tents are there?

There are standard ground tents that come in three and four-season models. There are also teepee tents, glamping tentsyurt tents that are meant for long-term use. A car tent or truck tent is another temporary style tent, similar to ground tents. The difference being they are set up in the bed of a truck allowing the camper to sleep off the ground potentially avoiding bugs and snakes. The type of tent purchased depends entirely on the camping location and the number of people using it.
