In order not to make a mistake with the choice of a carp tent, it is necessary to pay special attention to some characteristics of its design. For example, with regard to water resistance, its minimum performance should be no less than 3000 millimeters of water column. However, it should be borne in mind that the indicated value will allow you to stay in the tent only for light rain. If you want to protect yourself from more intense precipitation, then you should pay attention to designs whose water resistance is at least 5000.

Often there are tents on the market that have a water resistance rating of 1500. However, such structures are designed for a dry climate, even with a little rain they will leak. In addition to the water resistance of the tent cover, it is important to pay attention to the level of water resistance of its floor. It is best if this figure is 10,000 millimeters of water column. Another characteristic that you should pay attention to when choosing is the material from which the awning frame arcs are made.

Traditionally, manufacturers use 2 options: plastic or duralumin tubes. The first option is quite heavy in weight and breaks easily during installation. In order to properly and safely set up such a tent, you will have to look for a perfectly flat surface, which is not always possible in natural conditions. That is why you should give preference to those tents, the frame of which is made of duralumin tubes (they can be thick or thin).

However, it is important to pay special attention to some points. For example, experienced fishermen note that the rear strut should be installed with the latch down. To set up an awning it is necessary to find the most even surface of the earth.

The principle of spaciousness should not be violated, otherwise the tent may break and become unusable. So, if it is indicated that the design is designed for one person to stay in it, then you should not settle the whole family inside. In order for the awning to perform its functions, follow the rules for its installation and assembly. Attach any additional components included in the kit.
