How To Choose the Right Tent For You
Before you rush out and buy a tent, there are some questions that you should ask yourself about the kind of tent you want to buy and how much you want to spend. It is really easy to get carried away when confronted by lots of different tents and suddenly you find yourself much poorer with a top of the range tent, when you only wanted a basic camping tent for a weekend away!
Think first about how you will use the tent. If you are a keen camper then it is likely that you will be upgrading and you know exactly what you want. But if you have not been camping for a while then you are less likely to know what you want. Buying a tent that is slightly bigger than what you may need is a good idea because it gives you a little bit more storage space and you arent quite so close together in the tent.
Balance comfort with practicalities. If you havent been camping for ages, or indeed ever, then buy a basic tent, say a three-person tent if you are a couple and just see if camping suits you. That way you havent spent a huge amount of money on something that you will only use a couple of time.
You should also check out how easy it is to erect. No tent manufacturer will ever state that their tents are fiendishly difficult to put up, but in practice, some can be, so always make sure that you buy a tent with clear instructions that you understand. Not everyone understands the same type of instructions, so read them thoroughly just to make sure you arent confused when you put it up for real.
Set a realistic budget for your tent. Do not just go for the most expensive or the cheapest. If you buy an ultra cheap tent then remember that it may not last as long or be as durable as more middle of the range tents. But similarly do not think that as your starter tent you need some kind of mock marquee that will accommodate a wedding party!
Once you have weighed up exactly what you need, then all you have to do is check through each tent to see whether or not it fits the bill. Planning your tent purchase methodically ensures you get a tent that meets your needs, for the right price, which is just what you want!
