The greatest camping tents for tall people are those that allow you to stand up in them. However, dome tents with larger dimensions are available, allowing a taller individual over 6 feet to lie down comfortably without having their legs twisted and cramped up.
So, you want to get a tent! That's fantastic! You're at a loss about where to begin? That's fine!
A tent is comparable to acquiring a car, a dress or suit, golf clubs, or even a bottle of wine. Confusion results from having too many options. And being confused might lead to making poor decisions or even giving up.
Consider the amount of individuals that will be utilizing the tent
Always, always disregard the notion that a four-person tent sleeps four. No, it does not. It may only sleep three people, but for a relaxing experience, two people are better in such a tent.
The specs of a four-person tent, for example, indicate that four people would be a tight squeeze, with no room for luggage, etc. As a result, a family of four should consider a six-person tent. This will allow you to store bedding and other items in smaller locations. If the weather turns bad, the extra room will come in in with all of you in the tent.
Consider how much room you'll need in the tent and what you'll want to keep in the tent with you. Consider the height of adult campers — tall people will need to sleep without curling up in a ball. Know your own measurements as well as the dimensions of the tent you're considering. When it comes to tents, size does important.
Consider the usage circumstances.
Some tents are better suited to specific conditions than others. A summer tent will be built of a lightweight material, will have plenty of ventilation, and will most likely not be constructed for extreme weather. A three-season tent will be more likely to withstand heavy rain and winds while also providing shelter from the cold. True winter tents are probably uncommon in Australia due to our milder climate.
Take into account the simplicity of usage.
In the store, I came across this magnificent tent with several rooms and storage facilities — it sleeps ten people. But how long did it take to put everything together? Was a tiny army necessary? When buying a tent, you should keep it in mind. The salesperson said it would take a long time and a bunch of them - and they were the experts!
The point is, you don't want to spend hours setting up a tent after arriving at your destination, whether you're alone or have enlisted the help of your disgruntled children who simply want to play, not pass you poles and pegs.
The ease of usage is critical
If feasible, attempt to put up the tent in the shop, though this isn't always a viable choice. There are several videos on YouTube of individuals erecting various tents. Find the tent you're looking for, or something similar, then watch the video. Examine how the tent works and whether it is a feasible alternative to put up yourself.
Also, seek for independent reviews rather than company videos, as the latter has a great interest in making it appear easy to set up a tent. A reviewer that is not affiliated with the firm will be more likely to call out flaws.
Take note of the tent's fabric
Examine the tent's material carefully, since it may impact your buying decision. Canvas (cotton) tents are waterproof, however they become quite heavy after the water is absorbed. They are, nevertheless, long-lasting and do not decay as quickly as, instance, nylon. Nylon and polyester tents are also waterproof, although they will deteriorate over time if exposed to sunshine. To guarantee that these tents are waterproof, verify that the seams have been sealed.
Many tents claim to be waterproof, but we've discovered that the cheaper ones aren't as watertight as you may have imagined. Rip-stop cloth is used in high-quality tents.
Tent poles are composed of a variety of materials. We updated several of our tent poles to higher-quality models to guarantee that they operate when we need them to.
Examine the tent's zips as well. This is an important aspect of the tent that is sometimes ignored. If the tent zip fails, you might end up with unwelcome guests in your tent! Check that the zip is of good quality, that it glides freely, that it does not catch on the cloth, and that it is not rusting.
The fly must be nylon waterproofed and coated with polyurethane or polyurethane and silicone. A fly should ideally cover the whole surface of your tent, including windows and entrances, to give optimum rain protection.
Take into account the weight of your tent
Will you have to transport this tent across long distances? Is it intended for vehicle camping?
Some of the larger tents are exceedingly difficult to transport, even from the car to the campsite. Are you capable of handling this on your own?
Some camping tents for tall people are so huge when packed that they would not fit on our roof rack. So keep that in mind before making a purchase. Plus, you'll need some major power to hoist the tent up on your car's roof.
Consider the ventilation of the tent.
If you've never tented in a tent before, you may not realize how unpleasant it is to wake up in the morning to find everything soggy.
Your clothes have been wet as a result of contact with the tent's sidewalls. Your bedding is wet, and moisture is dripping down the sides of the tent. That is why ventilation is critical.
● Look for tents that provide ventilation while the rain fly is attached.
● Look for well-placed vents to reduce condensation.
Set a price in your mind
This is a significant decision for everyone. How much should you spend on a tent? We all have various budgets, but I will emphasize that excellence is expensive.
Buying cheap will end up costing you more in the long run if the tent breaks. Of course, not everyone can afford to spend a lot of money on a tent, but occasionally the very, very cheap tents are that way for a reason. Before you buy, ask yourself why this tent is so inexpensive in comparison to others with similar qualities. It might all come down to the materials and the manufacturer.
