Overview of the best six-seater tents

Six-seater tourist tents are a real find for a large family that loves outdoor recreation. Now a large company will not have to carry several temporary "houses" with them at once - one structure is enough for all family members. So that the trip is not overshadowed by various factors, you should responsibly approach the choice of a six-seater tent.

This is a good option for camping enthusiasts, for car travelers and for connoisseurs of a picnic in nature. Such a large product is also suitable for organizing a children's camp. These tents have a large area, a width of 60–80 cm is allocated for one bed. There are specimens with a height of 180 cm, in such products an adult can move freely, standing up to his full height. Usually the manufacturer provides two or three exits, a vestibule, a corridor.

Some tents make it possible to divide the internal area into several zones, for example: sleeping, dining, utility. Good ventilation in a small crowded room is achieved by the presence of windows on the walls and under the ceiling. In order for vacationers to be able to comfortably place their belongings, there are pockets on the walls of six-seater tents.

The main purpose of any tent - protection from difficult weather conditions and natural factors. Therefore, all large tents have good wind resistance and are equipped with mosquito nets. To reduce the negative impact of sunlight, special materials are used in the manufacture of the awning. Also, kits may include removable waterproof flooring. The lightest specimens of six-seater tents have a mass of 6.5 kg. Usually, 1 kg of weight is provided for each vacationer. However, specimens weighing 8–13 kg are more popular.

Weight is one of the downsides of a six-person tent compared to smaller products. But if you calculate the total weight of several single and double tents for six people, then it turns out that buying such an instance is even more expedient. This also applies to the price of the product. Also among the minuses can be noted the impossibility of self-assembly.

When choosing a product, pay attention to the awning. A single layer material is a single canvas. Such a tent is easy to set up, but condensation accumulates in it during use. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation so that you do not wake up in a wet sleeping bag in the morning. TMembrane single-layer awnings are deprived of such a problem, however, tents made of this material are quite expensive.

The two-layer version has a waterproof top layer and a lightweight inner layer. Usually a distance of 10–15 cm is observed between them in production.This is a heavier specimen, but you can not be afraid of the accumulation of condensate in it, besides, it provides better protection from rain. Most double-layer tents boast a vestibule.

Tents for 6 people are most often in the form of a hemisphere and semi-barrels. The arcs of the hemisphere frame, when crossed, form a self-supporting structure, and in the semi-barrels the arcs run parallel, that is, the supports are two stable points.

The half-barrel creates more usable space, as it has sheer walls. Due to the small number of frame elements, it has less weight and smaller dimensions when folded. But such an instance needs a large area for reliable installation, and the installation itself is more difficult. This option is suitable when relaxing on a flat forest edge or in a field. It is almost impossible to pitch such a tent in the snow.

Often a strong gust of wind can overturn the structure, so it has to be lined with bricks, logs, and in this regard, hemisphere tents outperform their competitors in the form of a semi-barrel. They stand securely without braces, although they still need to be tied. A larger number of arcs, although it adds weight, but it allows you to form power triangles that resist a strong gust of wind.
