Overview of the best six-person tents

Six-seater tourist tents are a real find for a large family who loves outdoor recreation. Now, a large company does not have to carry several temporary “houses” with itself - for all family members, one building is enough.

This is a good option for campers, for auto travelers and for lovers of a picnic in nature. Such a large product will also be suitable for organizing a children's camp. These tents have a large area; a width of 60–80 cm stands out for one bed. There are instances of 180 cm in height, in such products an adult can move freely, standing upright. Typically, the manufacturer provides two or three exits, vestibule, corridor.

Some tents provide an opportunity to divide the internal area into several zones, for example: sleeping, dining, economic. Good ventilation in a small crowded room is achieved by the presence of windows on the walls and the ceiling. So that vacationers could comfortably place their belongings, there are pockets on the walls of six-person 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. In order to reduce the negative effect of sunlight, special materials are used in the manufacture of the tent. Also kits may include removable waterproof flooring. The lightest copies of six-person tents have a mass of 6.5 kg. Usually for each camper provided 1 kg of weight. However, samples whose weight is 8–13 kg are more popular.

Weight is one of the disadvantages of a six-person tent compared to small-sized items. But if you count the total weight of several single and double tents for six people, it turns out that the purchase of 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. Single-layer material is a single canvas. This tent is easily installed, but when used in it accumulates condensate. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation in order not to wake up in a wet sleeping bag in the morning. TSuch problems are deprived of membrane single-layer tents, but tents made of this material are quite expensive.

The two-layer version has an upper waterproof layer and an inner layer of lightweight material. Usually, there is a distance of 10–15 cm between them in production. This is a heavier specimen, but it is possible not to be afraid of condensate accumulation in it, besides it protects from rain more qualitatively. Most of the two-layer tents can boast the presence of a vestibule.

Tents for 6 seats are most often in the form of a hemisphere and a semi-barrels. The arcs of the hemispherical framework when crossing form a self-supporting structure, and in the semi-bows of the arc run in parallel, that is, the supports are two stable points.

The semi-shell creates more usable space because it has steep walls. Due to the small number of frame elements, it has less weight and smaller dimensions when folded. But this instance needs a large area for reliable installation, and the installation itself is more complicated. This option is suitable when resting on a flat forest edge or in the field. It is almost impossible to put such a tent in the snow.

Often a strong gust of wind can overturn the structure, so it has to be covered with bricks and logs, and in this respect hemisphere tents surpass their competitors in the shape of a semi-barrel. They stand securely without delays, although they still need to be tied. A greater number of arcs, though adds weight, but allows you to form force triangles that resist a strong gust of wind.
