Tents come in many shapes and sizes so making sure that your tent is the right one for you is a very important decision and should not be taken lightly, most tents will last a good few years and you don’t want to go out and have to buy another a couple of months after you have already spent money on a camping tent. Here are my top five tips when buying a tent:
Tent size and Tent Design
Tents come is a very large number of sizes and designs so getting the right one out of the bunch is going to be hard work, but if you take a moment a really think about it you will end up with the right tent. If you want the tent to go back packing with then a small lightweight tent would be perfect for you. But if you are going on a family camping trip then you are going to want to have a family sized tent so that you can fit everyone in. If you are more into camping or maybe even mountaineering then you want a camping tent that is both strong a versatile but not too heavy so maybe a little bit heavier then a tent for back packing but still not too heavy.
