Tents buying advice
Before you buy
The whole shelter, not one number
Consider ventilation, fly coverage, pitching and intended season together. A waterhead rating alone does not establish storm performance.
Carry it or drive it?
Check the stated weight basis, packed length and room needed to pitch. Car-camping space can be a poor trade for a long walk-in.
From first use to the next trip
Use, care & repair
01Rehearse before departure
Pitch at home with the correct manual. Check poles or air beams, valves, pegs and guy lines; confirm which accessories are included.
02Plan your pitch
Use a permitted, suitable campsite and follow the manufacturer's anchoring instructions. Leave space for guy lines, entrances and any awning.
03Dry before storage
Remove dirt gently and dry every part before long-term storage. Follow the model's cleaning instructions rather than applying a generic detergent or coating.
How to choose a tent
Read the guideCommon buying questions
Good to know
Does a four-person tent comfortably sleep four adults?
Not necessarily. Check usable floor space against your bedding and equipment. Use a separate comfort capacity where the manufacturer provides one; otherwise it remains unconfirmed.
Does a higher waterproof rating mean a better tent?
It describes a fabric test, not the complete shelter in a storm. Design, seams, fly coverage, ventilation, maintenance and correct pitching also matter.
Do I need a footprint?
Check the exact model's recommendations and what is already included. Confirm dimensions and attachment points; a matching product name alone is not proof of compatibility.
