Normally even camping enthusiasts have trepidation when it comes to putting up tents. The average tent requires poles, digging and a mathematical degree that will allow the tent-erector to calculate angles and weight-distributions. It’s all very time-consuming and frustrating. Fortunately, for those not gifted in tent-erecting, some savvy individual came up with the pop up tent, also called the instant tent which comes as close as possible to assembling itself.
Durability is paramount when it comes to tent selection. Pop-ups tend to be a little less enduring when it comes to wind. However, they are rain resistant and they should be entirely up to the challenge of protecting the user(s) against extremes of temperature.
When your making your tent selection, remember more doors is better and you want a heavy-weight nylon, including a nylon floor. Consider the portability factor, both for yourself and your vehicle. Other things to consider, where are you likely to camp, with who and for how long?
Key Takeaways:
- Whereas traditional tents can be a headache to assemble, pop-up, or instant tents are far easier.
- Ideally a tent should be made of durable, heavyweight nylon, which should also encompass the floor of the tent.
- It’s a good idea to look for a tent with more than one doorway, although who and where one is camping ultimately dictates one’s choice.
“The problems can range from minor inconveniences, such as discovering that there is a missing piece or that you have placed the pole in the wrong spot, to major, like having the tent fall over you in the middle of the night from the slightest gust of wind.”
