A Few Things You Need To Know About Indy Camping Tent

By Shirley Olson


Spending holidays in nature can be really wonderful experience, especially if you have a nice Indy camping tent. Comfortable and spacious, easy to carry and pitch, cleverly designed and attractive, such tent can become your home away from home this summer. They come in various sizes and types, and here are some things that might make your final choice easier.

First of all, you need to choose the size. It is not so easy as it sounds, and it might be good to visit a store with displayed models before selecting the size. Make sure that it will be enough space not only for you and your friends or family, but also for all your luggage, or even bikes. More experienced campers know what they need, but it could be more difficult for someone new in this.

Larger tents can be divided into one living area and one or more sleeping areas. Some models have several bedrooms that can be folded away for more flexibility. There can also be one or more entrances, including covered entrance area and sometimes with spacious side doors that can convert into canopies. It's good to have plenty of storage pockets, they are really useful.

There is also a choice of two basic types. Classic tents use poles for achieving rigidity and strength, it's a bit more complicated to pitch them, but, on the other hand, they cost less. The inflatable type uses pressured air to give the tent stability, and this type is really simple to pitch. It costs more, but you will be able to pitch it in less than twenty minutes.

If you buy the inflatable tent, you will probably get the pump as well. Most models can be easily set within twenty minutes, while pole models might require more time and effort, but you can get more space for your money. On the other hand, some inflatable models are really lightweight, as little as twelve pounds, and really easy to manage.

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.

Inflatable models can have only one inflation point, and, in this case, it is extremely easy to manage it. There are different models here as well, and there are different air chamber diameters. Larger ones provide better stability and much better resistance to wind. Of course, all types need to be additionally secured by so called guy ropes.

Different models might also have various hydro static ratings. This is a measure of the water resistance of the material, and the higher the number, the better the resistance. For example, 4000 mm is a quite good resistance for an average tent, but those really high quality models usually have at least 6000 mm when it comes to the hydro-static rating. Higher rating means higher price as well.
