Camping Tents on Sale

Watch for Styles and Designs

Umbrella Design

The umbrella design makes its presence felt in family and summer tents.

This design gives you the option for a large amount of headroom, and near-vertical sidewalls that offer great ventilation.

The near-vertical sidewalls also benefit the floor space, giving an impression of a cabin rather than a camping tent.

A-frame Design

An A-frame design is one of the originals in tent design. This type of tent came into existence because it is very lightweight. It is easy to build and erect, and can be considered as one of the camping tents on sale because it is so economical.

Normally, there is a rectangular floor attached with sloping sides and a ridgepole, based on a pup tent design. However, the shortcoming of this type has been the low headroom and little elbowroom - blame it on the sloping sides.

That is why the next evolution was the edited A-frame. This modified version is lot better as it inserts a center hoop pole or diagonal center poles.

This can lead to the sidewalls being curved outward and increasing the space within. In addition, it also enhances the lateral stability, giving the tent the ability hold its own against the breeze.

Dome Design

The tents in this design come in a wide variety of shapes that slightly resemble a curved dome. Two to eight flexible tent poles are used in the construction of these tents. That gives way to a lot more room inside the tent.

The curved sidewalls also shed rain and snow easily, causing it to fall away rather than collect in one place. Always remember that the structural stability of these tents is judged by the strength of the poles.

In addition, dome tents are freestanding. This clearly demonstrates that you can put the tent together without first staking it down. Next, you can locate it on the position you desire.

If there are gusty winds blowing, good staking is advisable. The fact remains that dome tents can blow away, especially if left unattended.

There are many bargains for camping tents on sale. Take advantage of the possibilities, and choose wisely before you embark on your camping trip.
