Knowing how to stop for a garden tent can be rewarding, especially if you're new to camping. In terms of social distancing, camping has turned out to be a newfound hobby for those who enjoy spending time with family and friends while staying outside.
It will be a welcome break from daily life, and the chance to unplug. Reconnect with nature. On the other hand, it can also be cold and exhausting. • You want to think of your tent as your home the outdoors. After all, you want to keep your tent dry, warm and comfy. • Like searching for the right home, there is a ton of tent options because it is not a one-size-fits-all thing. You want to be sure that you're investing in the right tent for your needs.
With this thing in mind, there are two types of tent options to choose from. • Thru-hiking: Since you are likely to hike with your stuff, weight is the thing that matters in backpacking. But, you can be a fine line to toe between weight size and performance. • Family camping: If you want to fit your whole family inside, you need to think of the durability and space of the tent. Unless you are into family backpacking, you don't have to worry much about weight and focus more on ventilation, durability, and space.
Some tent evaluation metric – • Weight-to-space ratio • It is one of the most essential measurements for backpacking. You don't want to lug around a 20-pound tent during backpacking, but there should be a limit to lightweight. • It does not matter if the tent weighs less than a pound if it has Water leakage problems. You need to look for tent materials that will help prevent tears. If you have a spacious tent, your camping experience will be comfy. If weight is not your highest concern, you can spend more than a few days in a tent.
Durable • Raj tent will last more than at least four to five years. You want to have a fully waterproof layer, treated seams, and sturdy material. If you want to look for durability, you need to have a look at the materials and spend at least two nights at the campsite. Unfortunately, it doesn't give a measure of long-term durability. But, it will give you an idea of overall durability.
Waterproofing • One of the worst experiences you can have is waking up and finding puddles in your tent or water dripping off. Unless you plan to cancel your camping trip, if it is even a 5% of rain, it's better to have a waterproof tent. If you want to test the waterproofing capacity of the tent, it is better to spend at least one day in the tent during the rainy month. But, it is not possible. You can at least go for a test by treating the tent with moderate water pressure and find if water gets in.
