    How to Buy a Tent - part 1

    Camping is indeed a lot of fun. You will enjoy the great outdoors – being able to appreciate what nature's beauty has to offer. There is no better way to enjoy nature than with a camping trip with your friends and family. With these special people around – your camping adventure will be nothing short to awesome.

    Before you go for a camping trip, you must prepare for it. You must equip yourself with the right equipment, tools, devices and food. Preparing for the camping activity will be fun in itself – as this will also involve shopping around for other things you currently don't have but will need.

    And one important thing to consider in camping is your tent. The quality of your tent may just determine how well you get a good night's sleep – and how well you will enjoy your whole camping activity. Having had one of the worst sleep in your lifetime with a less functional tent - you may just find your camping adventure less fun and more of a bore.


    Types of Tent Structures

    There are many types of tents for your camping use- and below are just a few:

    Avian Tents

    These tents are used for light weather and for quick shelter. These can easily be installed – and taken down with ease as well.

    These are commonly used when opts to rest a while before moving on ahead. One or two straight poles are used in this type. The cover is then simply spread out to cover the ground area.

    Pyramid Tents

    As the name implies, the tent follows the form of a pyramid. With one pole in the center, the tent cover is pulled tightly. There will be multiple smaller compartments that results from such set-up.

    A-Frame Tents

    Traditional tents were of this type. A triangular pocket is formed by this set-up.

    A modified A-Frame type however, proves to be a better alternative as it creates more room. A center hoop is added to the traditional A-Frame tent for this modified version.

    Hoop Tents

    A tubular pocket is formed with this set-up. The curved walls provide for a bigger volume while maintaining the same ground area. With the curved form, this type is considered to be strong as it is able to divide the pressure over the hoops.

    Wedge Tents

    This type of tent is set-up in a manner where two hoops are intersecting, forming a square to a round pocket. It is known for its strength and lighter weight. This is popular among campers because of its functionality.

    Dome Tents

    Like the wedge tents, this type have intersecting hoops. This come in three or more intersecting hoops, giving it more strength. The downside may be, that such type is difficult to erect as compared to the other simpler ones.
