Choosing A Colorado Camping Tent

By Carol Lewis


Your priority is figuring out what kind of camping you're going to use the tent for. Camping with your car or van at an established campsite requires different kinds of camping tents than walking into a wilderness site. A Colorado Camping tent falls into three broad categories: "A" frame, dome, and cabin styles.

What kind of a canvas do you buy You could buy a canvas or rent one according to your budget and the families requirements. You would have to bare in mind the number of people who would occupy the canvas, the durability of it, it should be strong and of water proof material to withstand the rains and the winds, should have enough ventilation and also protect you against the insects.

Rental Logistics- For people, who prefer to rent their canvas from local store should ensure their booking long before they had to go for camping as it becomes difficult during the camp season to get the model of your choice. You can even pick up your rented canvas near the camping place if you are renting it from a chain of stores.

For this, you can refer to the website to ensure that is there any other convenient place of delivery. Direct online rental is also a good option to rent a canvas from a vendor who specialize in equipment sales as they have more options available than any gear stores.

These tents are well ventilated and yet provide good protection against a light snow or heavy rainfall. For the summer and warmer weather conditions, a 1 season tent would suffice, and you could take along with you a rain fly, and in case there is heavy rain an additional tarp for protection.

Choice of tent style is a matter of personal preference and lifestyle needs - as is additional camp equipment. If you don't care for sleeping on the ground, you're going to bring along a folding cot. In that case, make sure the tent is big enough to accommodate one.

For more protection, you should rent a 4-season canvas that can bear heavy snow and high winds due to its sturdier poles and fabric. It is better to rent a convertible canvas if you are going in winters as you can convert them into 3-season canvass by removing panels.

Finally, be aware of warranties. A reputable company will stand behind its gear, offering a multi-year or lifetime warranty. Also, the customer service department usually has a policy of repair or replacement if there are any manufacturing problems. A company that's afraid to offer replacement parts or repair service on its tents is not confident about its equipment---which should tell you if you want to buy that product.
