How To Choose The Best Indy Camping Tent

By Shirley Olson


Camping is not what it used to be. You can enjoy spending time in nature in one beautiful, spacious and airy Indy camping tent. These lovely tents are available in different sizes, and you can choose the size that is just perfect for you and your family members or friends. But, before that, here are some important tips for you.

The size matters, and in this case, it is not so easy as it sounds. The best thing you can do is to take a look at several displayed models, just to get an idea how large they really are. Don't forget about all those things you have to store in your tent, and make sure that it will be enough space for all of you as well.

Larger tent is always more comfortable option for staying there, but heavier to carry around and more expensive. They can have several rooms, or can be divided into several rooms. Some models can even have fold-able additional bedrooms. Choose things that will be useful, for example, wide side doors that will convert into comfortable and useful canopies. There are some models with really useful numerous side pockets.

There are inflatable and pole types you can choose from. The first one can be easily pitch using simple air pump, and the other model uses traditional poles for achieving rigidity and stability of the structure, and requires more time and skill. It is much cheaper, on the other hand, and also heavier to carry. Inflatables are lighter, easier to pitch and more expensive.

Inflatable models are usually much lighter, but you still have to carry a large pump with you, and the pump is usually provided. Some models can weight only twelve pounds, while larger ones might weight up to ninety. It's nice to have it all packed in separate bags, especially when you have a heavier model to carry and manage on the site.

What you really have to have is a fully sewn-in groundsheet. It will certainly ease your life, especially when it comes to bugs and similar outdoor living issues. Both types come with or without this option. In any case, some pole models are also quite easy to manage, for example tunnel tents. The construction is simple, and you don't have to worry about pole crossings.

The inflatable model of your choice might have only one or more inflation points. These with only one inflation point are easier to pitch, although you still have to take care of all those guy ropes as well. Keep in mind that air chambers of a larger diameter provide additional stability, especially if you are concerned about windy weather in the area.

There is also a thing called the hydro-static head rating. It is, simply said, the water resistance of a material, in other words, the measure of the quantity of water the material will resist to. 4000 mm is good enough for one average to good quality tent, and high ed ones usually have at least 6000 mm rating. Higher water resistance will cause higher price, and your choice will depend on you only.
