Product Information

With a length of 235cm and width of 300cm, the living area has plenty of room to set up camping a table and chairs. Plus, it has a height of 205cm to comfortably stand up inside it. The urethane coating on the tent can flake off as time passes, so you probably don’t need to do it straight away. Sealing the Tent Seams: Attention: Premium is not a must. A 3,000 mm water column means that 3 m of water can stand on your tent. The tent is still tight. Because it’s about hydrostatic pressure.

Tents for moderate rainfall should have an HH rating of around 1500mm to 2000mm for reliable protection. Cotton is convenient with the best room climate and UV protection as well as tear resistance. But cotton is heavy, dries slowly when wet, and is expensive. Type of coating or impregnation This is generally considered to be enough protection for most activities in moderate weather conditions.Tent technology has come a long way, so there are lots of excellent quality lightweight tents which are also durable and strong. One thing to keep in mind when calculating weight is whether you’ll be including the tent footprint or a tarp. Having a footprint makes a big difference in terms of how effective a tent is against the wind, but it also adds a bit more weight. For polyester, nylon, PE, and PU coated fabrics, use a water-based sealant. For silicone coated tents, a silicone-based one is the way to go After looking through our list of tents, it’s pretty obvious that not many models come with footprints included. This sad but true fact means that you’ll usually need to budget for also getting the footprint if you want to truly waterproof your tent. Let’s be honest, the only way to really test a tent out is to actually take it out camping. I mean, ok you can set it up in your garden but the only way to really find the best weather proof tent is to test it in the wilds! So, that is exactly what we did! Brace your tent well. Even if your tent is free-standing, you should guy out in the wind. So there is less tension on the tent, that’s already the seams. However, do not use force to tension the lines. Seams and attachment points can tear.

For the coating, either polyurethane (PU) or silicone (SI) is used here. PU is cheap and allows seams to be glued. However, it is heavier and worse in terms of UV protection. SI is light, very tear-resistant, and UV-resistant. SI is more expensive and also does not allow seams to be glued. Why Cotton Tents Don’t Have Water Columns The fabric will keep you dry in light rain or snow, and the seams will be taped to prevent leaks. If you’re planning on spending extended periods of time in wet conditions, however, you may want to consider a garment with a higher waterproof rating.

The short answer would be no. Fortunately, you can, however, increase the water-resistance of your tent. As mentioned above, there are other factors that come into play. We have gathered a few methods to help in ensuring that your tent remains as waterproof as possible and the insides remain completely dry. Seam Sealers If you are looking for something more specific, such as the ability to resist pressure from2000 mm of water before saturation set in, then select a Tent Fabric with a Waterhead Rating of 2000 mm or above. Remember: The higher the number on the label (Waterhead Rating), the greater resistance against high-pressure effects like rain and snowfall. Groundsheets will not usually have a Hydrostatic Head rating as they are made from fully waterproof PU material. The cylinder test involves securing a section of the fabric to the bottom of a column. The column is then filled with water and once the water starts to penetrate the fabric, the height of the water is measured in mm, giving the waterhead rating of the fabric.
