Do you associate tent pitching with complicated poles or hard-to-understand pitching instructions? With a throw tent, this is a thing of the past! In a few seconds, your tent is ready to go and you can relax and explore your surroundings or make the festival grounds unsafe.
Our checklist will tell you what to look for when buying a tent and our product recommendations will help you make the right choice. You can order the right throw tent today and soon start your journey – without any set-up stress or forgotten poles.
- Check if the tent has an outer and inner tent or just a single layer. If possible, the outer wall should be rain and wind resistant, and the inner wall should be breathable. Common materials are:
- Nylon: insensitive to wetness and abrasion, relatively tear-resistant; expands due to moisture and is UV-sensitive.
- Ripstop nylon: reinforced nylon fabric that expands less when wet and is even more tear-resistant than normal nylon.
- Polyester: UV resistant, tear and abrasion resistant; heavier than nylon and less breathable.
- A silicone or polyurethane (PU) coating improves the weather resistance of the outer tent.
- Your pitching tent needs to provide enough space and protection for all the people and your gear.
- Classic throwing tents are usually suitable for 1 to 2 or for up to 4 people. These tents have a height between 90 and 120 cm. Per person you should allow at least a width of 50 – 60 cm.
- The similarly constructed Quick-up tents and Air-beam tents are available for up to 6 people. Some of these models have standing height, others have similar heights as the classic throw-up tents.
- If you transport the tent by vehicle, you can take a heavier model.
- For hiking and biking, lightweight or ultra-lightweight roll tents are suitable.
- The less storage space you have, the smaller the packing dimensions of the tent should be.
- 3-season tents can be used from spring to fall.
- 4-season tents can be used all year round.
- For occasional camping a simple throw tent is sufficient.
- If you are going on tours in difficult weather conditions, you need a stable model with:
- high water column.
- good wind protection.
- coated, tear-resistant materials.
- Check what comfort the tent offers:
- several vents for air exchange.
- Tent pockets and other storage options for equipment.
- Suspension for a lamp.
- Insect nets.
- openings for natural light and view.
- Awning for storage of luggage and shoes.
