Guide to Buying a Tent
Your tent will be one of the most important purchases for your camping trips, so it pays to be well informed. Luckily, we’ve teamed up with camping experts Outwell to create a guide to the key aspects of tents, so you can ask the right questions when you visit those outdoors shops.
The guide has been broken down into sections. Knowing the key points for each factor will ensure that you approach the retailer knowing exactly what to ask, and helping them to point you to the right tent.
Intended use and cost
First consider what you want to do on your camping holiday, where you want to go, the expected conditions and who with. All these have an effect on the kind of tent that would be best suited, as does your budget.
Tent design >
Design can be broken down into a few areas, such as style, materials and features, and all affect outdoor living.
Tent Materials >
Each material has its own pros, cons and price tag. Find out what the trade-offs are.
Tent Poles >
The kinds of poles used can affect the ease with which you erect your tent. Discover why there’s more to poles than you’d think.
Tent Pegs >
There’s a pattern forming – different pegs are suited to different conditions. Tents come with pegs, but its best to build up your collection. Get top tips on the different types of tent pegs and when and where they are best suited to.
Outwell
Outwell is one of Europe’s most successful names in camping and is part of the family-owned Danish company, Oase Outdoors, that is also home to the popular Easy Camp and Robens brands. It was formed in 1995 and has rapidly gained a much-envied reputation for innovation, design and quality. Many of its tents have received major awards and are considered icons amongst family campers around the world.
The key to this success is its belief that everyone should experience and enjoy outdoor living to the full in safety and comfort; a belief born from the fact that Oase employees are all active campers and outdoor enthusiasts themselves and understand the benefits gained from spending quality time with friends and family close to nature.
Outwell is dedicated to improving the camping experience by creating products that will help achieve the best outdoor family moments that form those valued lifelong happy memories. It also supports major online communities and varied partnerships in order to improve the environment and camping life.
