While shopping for a new camping tent, look for features that will last longer and make your trip even more fun-filled. Know your budget beforehand and decide how much you can afford. Your tent should not be necessarily expensive, but it should be utilitarian. Once you have outlined your budget, you can know exactly what type of camping tents are available in that price range. Start with some of the most important features that should be considered while buying a tent. Determine your requirement for the camp. Several people are going to be accommodated in the tent, and you need extra room in your backpacks to store other equipment. Tents are available in different capacities and sizes. For instance, a two-person camp will have very little elbow room or storage space. A four-person tent will be more comfortable with a larger room and area to store your gears. It is recommended for a family of four to have a six-person tent.
As a thumb rule, always opt for a camping tent, which has a two-person capacity higher than the actual number of occupants. You can also check out multi-compartment tents. If you have planned your holiday with kids, a two-room tent will provide you with a private space. The rooms can be divided by simply dividing the space with a zippered flap. Three-room tents are yet another good option with an added screen room. The screen room makes a convenient space for changing your wet and dirty clothes. This extra space provides another significant advantage during the rainy season when you can set up chairs and tables and enjoy the weather. A tent may be available with fibreglass poles, but they are fragile and may probably break. However, if you break the bars, getting a replacement is not much more difficult. Rainfly is a tent's umbrella. The bigger the umbrella, the better will be the tent. Always look for the rainfly that comes down to the sides.
Rainflakes should always be waterproofing. If you pull the tent's material from either side, there should be no visible space between the seams. If you can see through the stitches, the tent will surely leak. Prefer folded seam and double stitch. The floor of the tent should be made of water-proof material. A seamless floor means there is no space for water to seep in. Tent walls, and sometimes rain flies, have leaves stitched near the centre. These loops are used as an attachment for guylines to keep the tent's walls stretched. This helps the tent to stand firmly even in windy conditions. Check whether there are loops at the tent's base at every corner. These loops should be big enough to accommodate the large plastic stakes. Prefer a stake loop of solid material, or it might break during hammering. The vent at the roof of the tent will allow air circulation during the night, thus eliminating the condensation inside the tent.
