A Few Things You Need To Know About 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.

Choosing the appropriate size can be tricky. The best thing you can do is to find a shop where you can see and test some of displayed tents. This is especially important for people who have never been camping before and therefore have no idea what to expect. It should be enough space for you, your family members and all the things you plan to carry with you.

Larger, spacious tents usually have one common area that can be divided into separate rooms, and some have bedrooms that you can fold away if you want. Main entrance often converts into a porch, and sometimes there are also really nice side doors you can easily convert into lovely canopies. New designs offer really high level of flexibility, and it is rather hard to choose the most beautiful model.

When it comes to pitching, there are two basic models, the one with poles and the inflatable type. Poles give your tent stability and rigidity, and this type requires little more skill when it comes to pitching. Inflatable models are much easier to pitch, because you simply have to inflate them. They are still really strong and reliable.

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.

Fully sewn-in groundsheet is probably the best option, although it adds up total weight. It will keep the bugs away and make your camping life easier and more comfortable. Although inflatables are easier to manage, there is another option for beginners that are more interested in pole types. Tunnel tents are quite easy to pitch, because there are no crossings of poles to contend with.

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.

Another thing to be careful about is the hydro-static head rating. This actually stands for the water resistance of the material your tent is made of. It is better to choose the higher number, obviously. Good quality material should resist at least 4000 mm of water before it leaks. More adventurous campers should choose 6000 mm or higher. It will affect the price, but it's worth it.
