If a tent is described as ‘double skin’, this will have an inner tent and an outer fly sheet designed to protect the inner tent from getting wet. The flysheet is suspended over the inner tent but should not touch it, as this will cause condensation and rain to penetrate through to the interior. Season rating: This doesn’t mean how many seasons it can be used in, but is a rating of a tent's ability to deal with different weather conditions. For example, a tent with a 1 season rating is fine in warm conditions and possibly a light rain shower but not much else, whereas a 4 or 5 season tent will keep a person and their gear safe from extreme winter conditions. Not all brands use this rating, but we've specified in each review when available. Durability: Built to last, our tents are constructed from robust materials, ensuring longevity and reliability during your outdoor adventures.

Is a single skin tent waterproof? The poles are essentially the skeleton of the tent and provide structural support. In basic terms there are two types of poles, bendy and rigid. Bendy poles are generally made from fibreglass or aluminium and are linked with elastic cord. They are flexible and lightweight. Rigid poles are sturdier and are more often used in traditional and trailer tents.

Tents & Shelters

Been on a hike or rolling in the mud at a music festival? Store your muddy boots in the porch area which has a roll down door to keep belongings dry and a vent to reduce condensation. Pop up tents are all about convenience, so getting them up and down in good time and without frustration is a key part of what makes them good or bad. Weather Resistance: Brave the elements with confidence. Our tents are engineered to withstand various weather conditions, providing protection against rain, wind, and UV rays. Many tents will have a porch attached to the entrance. These can be very short, making a useful area is useful for storing kit you don’t want in the tent but want to keep dry, or quite large, allowing you space to cook. It’s also possible to buy separate porches (normally for larger tents) as well as canopies.
