Dome-shaped tent: One-piece dome tent, also known as "yurt". It adopts double-bar cross-support, which is relatively easy to disassemble and assemble. It is the most popular in the market. It can be used from low altitudes to high mountains, and the stand is simple, so it is very fast to install and remove. Hexagonal tents use three-pole or four-pole cross-support, and some adopt six-pole design, which pays attention to the stability of the tent and is a common style of "alpine" tents.
2. According to the material selection
Outdoor camping and mountaineering tents are made of light and thin polyester and nylon fabrics, so that it will be light to carry, and the density of the fabric in the warp and weft directions is high. The lining of the tent should be made of cotton-type nylon silk with good air permeability. From the point of view of use, the performance of nylon silk is better than that of cotton. The PU-coated Oxford cloth as the base material greatly exceeds PE in terms of firmness, cold resistance and waterproofness. The ideal strut is aluminum alloy material.
3, according to the performance selection
Consider whether it can withstand high winds and other conditions. The first is the coating. Generally, PU800 coating is selected, so that the coating will not leak under the static water column of 800mm, and can prevent light to moderate rain; Can be used in various environments. The amount of aluminum poles should also be considered. The tents with 2 sets of ordinary aluminum poles can resist strong winds of about 7-8 levels, the wind resistance of 3 sets of aluminum poles is about 9 levels, and the tents using 3-4 sets of 7075 aluminum poles can withstand the 11th level. Use in blizzard environments around. At the same time, the tent ground cloth should also be considered, generally choose 420D wear-resistant Oxford cloth.
