Large Family Tents
|
To accomodate large families or groups ranging from 4 to 12 people, large family tents are ideal.
Prior to deciding which one to buy, it's important to select a family tent that's large enough so everyone has adequate room to move around.
Also consider the weather conditions in which you will be using the tent, and plan accordingly.
It's always better to go a step bigger than you think you might need!
Features
- Ideally, large family tents should have enough headroom so that even a very tall person can stand up inside the tent.
- Steel poles are strong, but they are heavy and prone to rusting. Fiberglass poles can be splintered, and aluminum poles are stronger although heavier than carbon-fiber poles.
- In order to have a good combination of storm protection and ventilation, double-wall tents are needed but they are heavier than single-wall tents.
The best choice is a hybrid tent that is partially double-walled and partly single-walled.
- Moreover, for rain protection, factory-taped seams are essential.
- Camping tent doors should be capable of being unzipped completely so that they can be kept fully open.
- For added ventilation and convenience, double doors are ideal. Also, you should choose a free-standing tent, as it is easier to pitch.
- For fast setting up of the tent poles, color-coding and quick clips should be used. Moreover, you should use brightly colored stakes and guy lines.
- It's better to have two enclosed entrances to the tent rather than just one so you can cook on one side and store materials on the other side.
- The length of large family tents should be sufficient so that the sleeping bags do not touch the tent walls, since condensation might dampen your sleeping bag.
Look over your choices, and select one of the most suitable large family tents for your next trek into the outdoors.
