There are many types of tents used for many different reasons. Let’s look at some items that will help you make the correct decision when choosing your tent.
Some tent styles are free-standing while others are attached to the ground using guy ropes attached to pegs. The poles provide support for the tent and can be rigid, semi-rigid, or inflatable. The pole supported tent is stabilized by the use of guy ropes secured with pegs driven into the ground.
Camping tents range in size from those only large enough to hold one person to those large enough for about 10 people. Some tents are light enough to be carried long distances. Most tent manufacturers classify their tents based on capacity.
If you are camping in the deserts of the Southwest, you are probably not concerned about the tent. Check the manufacturer’s description to see if the tent has been treated with a silicone impregnation or polyurethane coating. You can treat the tent yourself if need be.
Modern tents and luxury tents are usually made of fire-retardant material, but your safety can be enhanced if you do not smoke in your tent, have open-flame lights or heaters in the tent, or have your camp fire too close to the tent.
