What to look for when buying a new family tent

Picking the best family tent for your camping adventure can be overwhelming, especially since the right tent can make or break your camping experience. While searching, you’ll notice that there are thousands of family tents to choose from. They all come in different sizes, colours, shapes, and functionalities.

To make the decision a little easier, here are our top 3 tips on purchasing the right family tent.

1. Is it waterproof?

You need a family tent that’s suitable for all year round and ready to take on any weather – especially the unpredictable UK weather. For this reason, it’s worth looking at the waterproof rating of any tent, also known as the Hydrostatic Head (HH) rating. The rating measures the quantity of rain the tent can withstand in millimetres. It’s key to remember that the higher the score, the more durable the tent.

2. Is it spacious enough for your family?

Buying a spacious family tent means no elbows need to be digging into anybody's back whilst sleeping. Everyone can have a great night's rest, ready for all the fun camping activities in the morning.

Before purchasing the tent, consider the number of people that will be staying inside and whether they will be able to move around comfortably. A good way to make sure there’s plenty of space for everyone is by sizing up – if there are four people camping, consider a five or six person tent.

Although it might take longer to pitch a tent that’s much bigger, the more helping hands you have, the faster the process.

3. Does it have the right features for your needs?

Whether it be awnings, storage pockets, blackout features, hanging points, vents, or porches, the smallest details can make the most significant difference to your holiday. Research some of the tent's more minor functional features to see what makes it unique and stand out from the rest of the market.
