The tightness of the tent threads is responsible for durability. However, the reliability of the design is not given by the thickness of the thread, but by a special weaving. Polyester and nylon are considered the most resistant to the penetration of sunlight.
Moisture resistance is a significant indicator when choosing. Raindrops fall from an impressive height, besides, they have some weight, and when they come into contact with the awning, the tent begins to leak.
