Traditionally
tents formed an essential military gear that provided shelter to the
battalion on the move. The other major use of tent was in disaster
management, it provided temporary housing to the victims affected by
catastrophe. With the advancing age, these structures became available
for varied usage such as beach recreation, wedding occasions, backyard
parties and more. The increasing popularity and usage has inspired tent
manufacturers to take into account number of design considerations. Some
of the major considerations are as follows: Tent Fabric
Cotton, nylon and polyester are some of the most preferred material used for making tents. Earlier cotton was given preference over most of the other fabrics. These tents readily absorb moisture and water during rain, thus gaining an extra weight. Nylon and polyester tents are light in weight but are more vulnerable to damage caused by extreme weather conditions. So, while deciding the fabric for your tent always consider the end use.
Tent Size
Camping tents and backpackers tents can be tailored in different sizes to accommodate the required number of people. Just not these, you have an added option for partition inside the tents. There is an also an option for separate additional space for storage of gears and other belongings. So, you can provide your customers with an innovative and flexible tent design to accommodate their unique requirements.
Tent Color
The color of the tent is an important consideration for design. Party tents are usually made of vibrant patch of colors. While camping tents are available in green and brown colors to create a perfect camouflage by reducing the visibility. However, when you supply tents for adventure sports prefer red or bright yellow, so they are more visible in case of emergency.
Tent Installation
Time taken to install and dismantle tent is another important consideration for the manufacturers. Beach and camping tents can have a robust design, but hiking or backpackers tents should take less time for installation. It's always the purpose of the tent that plays a pivotal role in deciding its installation ease.
Other important design factor that needs to be considered includes ability of these shelters to withstand different seasons. For instance, some tents are designed as four-season shelters, while others may be designed specifically for winter, summer or rainy season.
