Before you buy a tent, you need some understanding of the following:
one、Classification and styles on the tent The selection and use of camping tents should first understand the subsection and styles on the market at present the tent variety, its classification, playing outdoor Alice like will be divided into two categories:
Such as: Mountain account, designed primarily to cope with the adverse conditions, performance pay attention to wind, rain, high strength, in the choice of materials, more sophisticated, more complex in the fabrication process, belong to high-grade tents, applicable to mountain climbing, the exploration of complex climate environment. Another kind is what we usually called tourism type, designed for general hiking / camping, of the material in a more focused on the economy, manufacturing process is relatively simple, and belongs to the low grade of the tent, as the general environment of the camp. two、The structure and specifications of the tent The traveler asked not to use a different structure form distinction again and tent design, concrete can be divided into type structure and the hall roof structure of single room: Single chamber structure space only for sleeping and design, pay more attention to reduce the volume, weight. The hall roof structure is in the tent sleeping space plus the establishment of the mantle outside the hall, in addition to the wind and rain has more superiority, also for existing equipment set up space.
In order to adapt to the different environment temperature, tents and divided into single / double / three layers of different structure: One advantage is portability / economic / small / production process is relatively simple. Double difference in monolayer is in the design of adding a layer of permeable well inside the debt, the principal contradiction of single-layer tents inner wall of water. Because in the cooler seasons, rid the body of heat in the cold air outside the tent, the tent will dew condensation water wall, along the wall flow will wet under the tent sleeping bag, and the inner account, external account is not directly, a tent bottom connection, the body heat through the inner tent, condensation at external account drops can be DC ground, in this sense, single-layer tent mainly suitable for warm regions or seasons, double layer tent for cool season or cold.
three、Materials and performance tent Tent quality, design is certainly a factor, but more important is the selection of materials. Materials can be divided into fabrics, in the material, the bottom material, bar, in general, with the label of the fabrics, different density, the tensile strength and water pressure is also different, compared different fabric, nylon silk is thin and light, suitable for mountain climbing and hiking campers selection, Oxford cloth thickness, but heavier suitable for making use of driving, camping or small group of tent. The waterproof coating, PVC waterproof is good, but in the winter will be hard, brittle and prone to fold or fault. PU coating can not only overcome the shortcomings of PVC, water is also very good. Multiple PU coating, waterproof pressure can reach more than 2000MM.
The tent in the material (inner tent material) Usually with a breathable cotton nylon silk is good. From the point of view, nylon silk is superior to cotton. In the wild camping, tents, easily absorb moisture, drying in the sun is not easy to moldy cotton cloth, nylon silk is easy to dry and not easy to moldy.
The main function of ground is waterproof, dampproof, dustproof. The bottom material choice also determines the grade of low-grade tent tent, usually PE as base material, is also useful for PVC, is low in cost, double coated PE, although it has the waterproof, moisture-proof function, but is easy to wear and leakage. Winter is the bottom of the PVC material's nemesis, PU coating cloth Oxford base material, whether it is solid, cold tolerance, or waterproof greatly exceeds the PE. The tent pole tent skeleton, skeleton material influences the tent life, also affect the stability of the tent. Early tent support often use of steel materials, which not only increases the weight of the tent, and resilience is poor. Tent skeleton improved the glass fiber rod, its weight has been reduced, resilience is improved, and the cost is low, so the tent manufacturers choose the material bar, but glass fiber rod strength and robustness are not ideal, but if by bold glass fiber bar to increase the intensity, but also increase the weight. Aluminium alloy bar is ideal material, with high strength alloy pipe connecting rod, not only has high strength, and light weight, good resilience. Especially the production of aerospace aluminum EASTON bar, various indicators have reached a good state, so for the high-grade tent first selection.
The main performance index of the quality of the tent general wind / rain / good stability as the standard, high mountain tent also require light weight / volume small. A high performance high mountain tent, usually choose tear resistant fabric structure high-quality nylon silk, with waterproof degree more than 2000mm waterproof coating, the fabrication process of the seams were pressed rubber processing, can guarantee you in the rain environment, not by the wind and rain intrusion. If the use of high strength EASTON bar as the skeleton, even more than eight winds also ensure you no worry, but this tent is expensive, the general market price is in 2000 yuan of above, if a company with GORE ACTIVEN fabric outside account, without inner account can be in the structure, but also can reduce weight / volume reduction, and the water resistance, air permeability, anti water performance is better, but the price will be higher.
four、The selection and use of tent The tent is the important equipment for camping, but not the only equipment. In the camp of the role is limited, generally speaking, tent not promise to keep warm, camping warm sleeping bags of tasks, the main function of the tent is windproof, rainproof, dustproof, anti dew, moisture, provide a relatively comfortable rest environment for campers. Based on the above objectives, selection should consider the following factors tent: 1 choose the account to waterproof degree is high, can use mouth blown about fabrics, testing the air permeability, generally poor air permeability, waterproof degree will be very good. 2 select the inner tent to permeability. 3 select the bar with high strength, resilience. 4 select the bottom material should pay attention to the waterproof and wear resistance. 5 for the camping tents had better choose double structure. 6 specification choice is best with a door of a shed, or considering a slightly larger size. 7 selection before and after the double tent more favorable ventilation.
The use of tent is not complicated, it should be said is a door knowledge, the same tent, used properly, windproof, rainproof effect is good, but the reverse is not ideal. Tents are used three aspects should be paid attention: 1 Peng site selection Tent support should be in relatively flat areas, access should be back to the air, the ground is relatively dry, if there is a thin turf is the best, if the ground is slope, the export should be chosen in the downhill, so it is easy to dig trenches to drain the water away.
The 2 support and the fixed The tent after the spread should first fixed account four angle, so that the end of the tent on the ground paved fixation, such as the conditions, under the tent can block mat, which can protect the tent bottom, also can achieve the best effect of waterproof. Support account, in addition to connected with the tarpaulin rod is reliable, pay special attention to pull far fetched, the external account taut, to fly to rain best skirt, a tent, application of SARS or soft soil pressure is good, the winter snow is available, so more conducive to prevent. An inclination screw, angle to 40 degrees is appropriate, to nail into the distance and direction and far fetched for the same axis, the leash and up into the 90 degree angle, which is conducive to achieve the maximum stress intensity. In a fixed order should be correspondingly fixed, for example: first the left front corner, turn right after the angle, right angle, the left rear corner, renovation of tents, adjust the pull rope pull the hand pulling force consistent. After supporting the tent, check the distance between the inner account, if put together, it will affect the rain and dew, should be to adjust.
3 ditches While camping, if every rain, digging drains procedure can not be omitted, drains should be close to the tent outside, if not with edge of tents, groove location should be outside account flow under water easily into the ditch is appropriate, drainage ditch dug in around the tent, so that the water can be discharged smoothly.
five、Maintenance of the tent Tent after cleaning, maintenance is also very important, it relates to the tents of life, but also directly affect the future use, clean up the tent should according to the following procedures: 1 clean the tent floor, clean the sediment, such as water pollution can be mild scrub. 2 airing the tent inside and outside the account, the recovery of dried up after the resumption, the Buddha not the tent is dry, remember must not be stored for a long time, so as to avoid the coloring and mildew, a conditional, immediately airing. 3 cleaning rod of sediment. 4 check the tent accessories condition. 5 should not use detergent cleaning so as not to affect the waterproof effect. |
