There are tents of different shapes, sizes, characteristics, colours, with a robust or light structure. To guide a good choice, it is essential not to overlook the analysis of certain characteristics that may influence your decision.
Use Of The Store
We will have to choose the tent depending on the activity that we are going to carry out; each one will require different characteristics.
There are tents that are suitable for small day trips, others that allow you to hike for several days, for example: the Poled Family Tents. Some are suitable for high altitudes, others for camping near the sea or in windy places. Some have their strong point in mounting speed. Each store has different characteristics depending on the use you are going to give it and your needs. The best tent will be different if it has to withstand wind, rain, or just temporary and emergency shelter.
Design
Some of the main forms of the tents are Canadian, umbrella, vaulted (dome or igloo) or modular.
The Canadian tent has the classic pyramid shape, it is very small and does not allow much movement, but it is certainly practical and light to carry.
Materials
An important variable to consider when choosing the tent is the materials with which the tent is made. Technical materials have better characteristics: carbon, aluminium, Kevlar, nylon, and fiberglass. These elements give it excellent properties, but they raise the price.
Weight
The lighter, the better. The lightness implies, simplicity of handling, transport and installation. There are, however, some types of stores that require a certain structure, such as family or modular stores, which must accommodate more people for more days, and require practically “fixed” facilities. In this case, it is better to focus on other characteristics rather than weight.
Price
In choosing a tent, we can not ignore it; the price will be one of the most important factors when making the final decision. Prices can range from a few tens of dollars to several hundred.
