What to Know Before You Buy a Camping Tent
You can't beat a tent for the ultimate outdoor adventure. Tents let you get further into the outdoors, but you want to be sure they don’t let the outdoors get to you. While keeping dry and free of bugs are basic considerations, it’s the places and times of year where you camp that determine the camping tent that’s best for you.
Tent Designs
A tent is a temporary shelter that uses fabric, typically nylon, stretched over a mounting frame to repel insects, rain, wind and snow. The two basic styles of tent are the A-frame tent, in which two poles on either end support a central pole, and the dome tent, where two poles cross to form a convex x shape.
The simplest A-frame tents stretch fabric, staked to the ground with grommets, over the frame. These tents are the lightest but can take a little experience to set up. At the opposite end are deluxe cabin tents and domes that provide a sealed and ventilated bubble for sleeping.
