Hall and roof structure: The tent has a door and roof outside the sleeping space. In addition to its advantages in windproof and rainproof, it also provides space for equipment.

Materials and properties of tents
Materials can be divided into fabrics, linings, bottoms, struts, wind ropes, floor nails, etc. Generally speaking, fabrics with different grades have different densities, so the tensile strength and waterproof pressure are also different.
Selection of tent types
When we choose camping tents, we need to choose tents according to the camping environment.
First, if it is a bad environment, we should choose the four-season account, which can resist wind and rain, and has high intensity. For general camping and tourism, you can choose three-quarter accounts.
The second is the structure selection of the tent. According to the function of the tent, if it is used for sleeping, it should use a single room. If it wants more space, it should use a hall canopy. Select tents with different layers according to the temperature environment.

Factors to be considered in tent selection

The tent with front and rear doors is more conducive to ventilation.
