is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and there is no better way of
doing this than in a tent. On this page we are going to look at one of
the most popular that being 3
man tents, soWhat type of 3 man tents are availableThere are various types of 3 man tents available, four of the most popular types are listed belowTunnel tents: When compared to a Dome tent the Tunnel tent tends to be much quicker to pitch and provides more space for the weight. They consist of a number of poles adjacent to each other that when bent over create a tunnel. This makes much more headroom as the maximum height runs right down the middle of the tent. However, these types of tents are not very stable and must be fully guided out no matter what the weather. This makes them less suitable when pitched on very hard or very soft ground. Dome Tents: This type of tent usually consists of two poles bent across each other to create a dome, this leads to less headroom with the maximum point being in the centre. To compensate for this there will usually be added on parts such as bedrooms and porches, however, these will come with the addition of extra poles. Domes tents offer a great compromise between stability, pitching time and weight. They tend to be a lot more stable than a tunnel tent, however they are heavier and take longer to pitch Pop up Tents: Pop up tents are the easiest to put up, often its a case of simply removing the tent from its carry bag, shaking it into shape and then pegging it down. The only real disadvantage of these tents is that they are best suited to smaller numbers 4 Season Tents These tents will often contain more poles for strength and will have very little in the way of mesh, keeping both the warmth in and the wind out. You will often find these are the preferred type of tent for all year round hikers and mountaineers.
