Product Information

Vis-a-vis family tents always focus on the sleeping space, rather than the living space. It’s the limitation of the design. The Zenobia 6 and 8 are for those who can accept that the living space is limited, and don’t mind that the family will have to spend most of the time outside the tent during the day. However, both Zenobia tents have a living room large enough for the whole family in case it rains. Deluxe Peg Sets – Massively improved Peg Sets with coded location guide designed not to let you down.

Electric cable access point, which is ideal if you need to run a heater (see our guide to Electric Hookup Units). Extensive Venting System – Low and mid-level venting which is adjustable to suit your camping and weather needs. Size: All tents will say how many people can fit, but we'd recommend going up a size so there's also room for all your stuff. Saying that, plenty of the featured tents have a porch for muddy shoes, and some bigger ones have central areas where you can sit and chat or eat dinner together. While they are great for families, they also make great tents for groups of friends, who need a decent festival tent for example. Size, layout, space

It measures how much water the fabric can hold before it starts to seep through, as well as the water pressure it can withstand before leaking starts. A basic tent’s flysheet is usually around 2000mm and a groundsheet is 5000mm or more. A tent with a 5000mm reading will protect you against heavy rainfall or a constant downpour – phew. How the Hearst Institute tests tents As for ventilation, there are various air vents, I do like te window vents that help a lot keeping a steady airflow across the living area and the bedrooms. Weather Protection Nightfall Bedrooms - With integrated curtains keep the dark out or let the light in as it doesn’t always need to be dark.

Side door can also double up as a sunshade, and doors both side can be opened to help cool the tent down if it is very hot.
