So, if you like the wild, then it would be in your greatest to avail yourself of a pop up tent. There are, though, some issues that you have to take note of when picking a pop up tent. But first of all, we must know what exactly a pop up tent is.

What are pop up Tents?

Pop up tents are simply camping tents that are simple to install. Really, all you need to do is prop up the poles and assemble the fabric around them. You'll have a veritable tent in just a matter of minutes. Pop up tents are very practical for activities outdoors such as camping or simply just lazing around in the beach.

Matters to Consider when Buying Pop up Tents

Pop up tents are supposed to be durable. They are designed to withstand the wear and tear of weather. But, there are some that are more sturdy than others. Don't pick those tents in which the fabric is too thin. Choose the ones with thick, obviously durable, fabric. Furthermore, see that the pop up tent you buy is water resistant. You don't want your tent to get soaked in the rain, especially if it will take a long time to dry.

You should also consider the features of the tent before you buy it. Some tents have zipper doors that serve as the door into and out of the tent. Be sure that the zipper will not fall apart easily, as some zippers in low quality tents do. Also, try to see if there are any windows on the tent. Most pop up tents have mesh windows to let the draft to come inside. In hot and humid places, these windows will really come in handy. However, if you go camping in cool places, they will be rather bothersome. So, make sure that you have an option on the windows. There are tents that have flaps that allow you to close the windows should the need arise.

Also, take note of the portability of the tent. Most pop up tents come in duffel bags that make them very easy to carry around. Before you buy, try to assemble and disassemble the tent first and see if it can easily be repacked inside the bag. - 31517
