Tents

FAQs

How long is a tent supposed to last?

We'd estimate a solid 5 to 6 years of use out of them, but they could easily last even longer with proper care! Just remember to reserve them for warmer months, and be sure to store them properly, keep them clean, and shield them from any damp conditions.

What makes a good tent?

What counts is how durable it is. That means checking out its UV resistance, waterproof rating, and ease of setup and cleaning. And don't forget about ventilation—a well-breathing tent is key to a comfortable camping experience!

What keeps a tent in place?

You can count on tent pegs, poles, tie-down ropes, or bungee cords to keep your tent secure. But if you're braving heavy winds, having some heavy-duty tent pegs on hand is a good idea for extra stability.

Do you put anything under a tent?

It's all about keeping you safe and ensuring your tent's floor lasts, especially on rough terrain. Whatever you put under the tent should also provide a reliable waterproof barrier for added peace of mind.

Do tents go bad in storage?

Yes, they can if not stored correctly. It's important to pack them loosely to let air circulate. Otherwise, if kept in damp conditions, they might break down sooner than expected and even develop mildew on the surface.
