Camping tents provide privacy and protection from the weather and outdoor pests. When purchasing an easy-assembly tent, the first consideration is the weight. If you are trail camping, a lightweight tent will cause less strain on your neck and back, so you can comfortably hike longer distances before settling on a campsite. The next consideration is size. Tent sizing is measured by the number of people sleeping side-by-side. However, if you want more room, consider purchasing a tent made for more people. Some tents include vestibules to create extra space outside of the tent, similar to a covered porch. The remaining considerations apply to any type of tent to ensure an enjoyable camping experience. Tents that are easy to assemble have a pop-up design with the poles already in place for an instant campsite. Next, check to see if a rainfly is built-in or included with your purchase. This cover stretches over the tent for protection from rain, wind, and cold temperatures. Finally, you want to make sure the tent has adequate ventilation. Tents with mesh windows and vents are essential for climate and condensation control, but be sure they can be zipped or tied closed in the event of wet weather. Cost is always important. When setting a budget, keep in mind that a tent is your home away from home and should offer the comfort and convenience you need to fully enjoy your camping experience without worrying about your shelter.
