The 6 Best 6 persons tent

Table of Contents:

For hiking or trekking tours of several days in the great outdoors or for overnight stays on a camping site, a suitable tent is required. Probably the most important selection criterion is the number of people for whom the tent should be available. A 1-person bivouac tent is sufficient for individuals. For families and groups of people, correspondingly larger tents are offered in various designs and materials. One category of these tents is the 6 person tent, whereby the number of persons in the descriptions refers to manufacturer information, which is often only a rough guide. It is quite possible that in a 4 person tent there may be enough space for 6 people. It always depends on the individual case, which of course should be carefully thought through. This also includes the planned installation site. For a stay in a mild climate the demands on the tent material are less stringent than for a stay in a rough environment.

Camping & Outdoor: 6 persons tent Video Guide

6 person tents are mostly family or group tents. They differ in the division of their interior. Family tents are usually divided into several cabins. Group tents, on the other hand, almost always contain only one spacious lounge and bedroom. Family tents usually have a large number of pockets on the side walls that serve as storage space for smaller items. Group tents are suitable for groups travelling together, such as scouts, whose members have no problem sleeping together in the same room. The most common construction methods for 6 person tents are dome tents and tunnel tents. Less common are large ridge tents, which are constructed like a house roof, and tents in pyramid-like form, which are based on the traditional tent shape of North American Indian tribes. Geodätz tents occupy a certain special position for special applications and hybrid tents combine several construction features, e.g. dome or tunnel geodesy.

These tents, also called igloo tents, are versatile classics with and without anteroom (apside). In the 6 person variant, they usually have an anteroom in front of the inner tent, the actual igloo. However, the vestibule is often relatively small. The use of space is not optimal due to the low steep walls. The assembly and dismantling is usually simple by a self-supporting dome construction of the inner tent, which forms a semi-spherical sphere and with which under circumstances a bracing can be dispensed with. The tents consist of inner and outer tents, with the inner tent forming the actual dome over which the outer tent is thrown and attached to eyelets or pegs. With a correspondingly large tube diameter of the poles, these tents can withstand even stronger winds. Dome tents are family-friendly all-rounders.

Tunnel tents are also family-friendly and versatile. They offer the best use of space of all tent shapes, have a low weight and can be set up relatively quickly, because inner and outer tent are connected with each other in many models. The pole arches are often only pushed into the intended channels and fastened to the tent floor. Then the tent is taken down. The inner tent usually remains dry when erected during unfriendly weather conditions. Due to the construction, the awnings can be relatively large. Tunnel tents can, however, offer a large surface of attack for the wind, depending on the installation direction. They should therefore be positioned, if possible, along the wind direction. Since bracing is absolutely necessary, installation on hard floors can cause problems. In addition, the space requirement is higher than for dome tents due to the required bracing.

This type of tent forms a storm-proof and stable dwelling for trekking and expeditions. The shape is similar to that of a dome tent, but the mostly hemispherical shape is somewhat more angular than that of a classic dome tent, which results in greater stability. Geo-etched tents are mostly double-walled with outer and inner tent. As a rule, the tents can be set up free-standing without pegs. In case of very strong wind or storm, however, it is advisable to protect yourself. The compact design usually results in a relatively small apside and little storage space. This type of tent is therefore less suitable for family trips.
