Family Tents
Family
tents are usually large tents with good living space and are
suitable for family or a group of people staying together in a
camping trip. Usually cabin tents are employed by families or
large groups that can provide enough living space for a group of
people living together.
Cabin tents or family tents as they are called, are usually
large enough to accommodate 4-5 people inside easily as they can
go to a size of around 20 feet wide. This extra large living
space simply means that people can even stand inside the tent,
walk in and out of the tent without bending down. This provides
an additional mental security to the family members which is not
much present in tunnel tents where a person cannot stand
straight inside the tent.
Nowadays family tents are coming with a number of different
options that campers could choose from. The most common and
widely appreciated option is the addition of dividers inside the
tent to convert it into two room set. This means that parent can
create an extra private room for themselves and one for their
children's within the same tent.
The huge size of these family tents also makes it possible to
include camping
equipment such as comfortable articles such as chairs,
tables, mats etc to be placed inside the tent and create a home
out of nowhere. The straight walls
of these cabin tents also
gives a visualization of a house and are much better than dome
style tents in which the walls are not always straight.
These family tents take a lot of time to assemble and even more
to disassemble. The large size also means large weight and these
tents are several times bulkier than normal camping tents. Due
to the extra size and weight, these tents cost more than the
normal tents due to which many families buys different small
tents instead of a family tent.
Transportation of such camps is also a problem due to their
heavy weight and large size. It takes at least two adults to
assemble and disassemble the tent and which is why these cabin
tents are normally used by families instead of lone campers.
They are quite useful in setting up base camps due to the extra
space and comfort they offer.
These tents are made up of
strong and a durable canvas and last many years which makes them
a good investment of money. The poles are usually made up of
aluminum or strong steel and last long. Experience campers often
recommend going for good brands for these kinds of tents due to
their high quality and long lasting durability.
