Checklist For 6 Man Tents For Camping

For the Whole Family
  • Children, parents and maybe even the dog – in 6-man tents there is room for everyone.
  • for this, the tent should not fall below an area of 12 m², so that each person gets at least 2 m² of space.
  • Tents of this size usually have separate chambers, a single unseparated sleeping area is the exception.
  • Sometimes it is possible to stand upright in 6-man tents, so you can spend a pleasant time even in the rain.
  • If upright standing is to be made possible, make sure that your tent has a height adapted to your height: sometimes such tents are not much higher than 1,50 m.
  • Usually there is also enough space for the luggage, for this you should choose tents that are
    13 m² upwards.
Material
  • For maximum protection , both underlay and fly sheet or the roof should be waterproof and coated.
  • The roof is usually made of waterproof nylon.
  • Also relevant are strongly sealed seams, which also withstand the weather.
  • Tents often have small windows made of finely woven plastic netting to protect against insects – these should also have an extra mechanism to close them.
  • Pegs are usually made of metal, less often of plastic.
Time Expenditure
  • Throw tents are especially popular due to their quick setup, but these are rare in this size range.
  • Further there are also tents, which have a middle cabin for the stay and divide into several smaller cabins for the sleep – these tents are somewhat more complex in their structure.
  • Many children find it exciting to watch or help when their parents set up the tent. So you have fun together despite the greater effort.
  • When setting up the tent, make sure that the pegs included are used so that the tent stands as long as you want it to stand.
  • The ground should be level and dry to ensure a secure hold.
