A canvas tent is a tent that can be set up particularly quickly and easily. It usually consists of one piece and has no poles or other parts that need to be erected separately. Instead, the tent is simply thrown on the ground and unfolds by itself.

What You Should Look Out for When Buying a Pop Up Tent

If you want to buy a canvas tent, there are a few points you should consider:

Size: Make sure that the tent has enough space for all the people who will be sleeping in it. Also bear in mind that you may need to store luggage and other equipment.
Weight and pack size: If you have to carry the tent, you should choose a model that is as light as possible. The pack size is also important if you have little space available.
Weather resistance: Consider the weather conditions in which you will be using the tent. A canvas tent should be wind and weather resistant. Pay attention to the water column (at least 3,000 mm). This also applies to the tent floor! Multi-walled tents offer additional protection.
Material: Pay attention to the material from which the tent is made. Polyester is durable and weather-resistant, but it is heavy and translucent. Nylon is lighter but less durable. The poles are usually made of fiberglass.
Price: If you only plan to go to a festival or similar once or twice a year, an inexpensive tent costing up to €100 will certainly suffice. However, if you want to camp for several weeks a year, the tent should come from well-known manufacturers such as Salewa, VAUDE or Marmot.
Additional functions: There are throw tents with additional functions such as ventilation systems or integrated rain protection.

The Most Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ About Pop Up Tents

What are the advantages and disadvantages of throw tents?

Advantages:

Easy to set up: Throw tents can be set up in just a few minutes by simply throwing them on the ground. This is particularly practical if you are under time pressure or if you have to set up the tent on your own.
Lightweight and compact: Throwaway tents are generally lighter and more compact than conventional tents, making them a good choice for traveling light and backpacking.
Weatherproof: Many throw tents are wind and weather resistant, making them suitable for a variety of weather conditions.

Disadvantages:

Poor soundproofing: Throw tents usually have less insulation than conventional tents and therefore offer less soundproofing.
Less space: Throw tents are generally smaller than conventional tents and therefore offer less space.
Higher price: Tents are generally more expensive than conventional tents.
Poorer ventilation: Throw tents often have fewer ventilation options than conventional tents, which can lead to uncomfortable temperatures and humidity.

What Is a Canvas Tent and How Does It Work?

A canopy tent is a tent that can be set up particularly quickly and easily. It usually consists of one piece and does not require any additional poles or other elements to be erected. Instead, the tent is simply thrown on the ground and takes on its final shape by itself.

What Does Water Column Mean for Tents?

The water column indicates how well the tent is protected against rain. It is given in millimetres (mm) and indicates how much water pressure the tent material can withstand before water penetrates. The higher the water column, the better the tent is protected against rain.

The water column is usually stated when the tent is advertised as weatherproof. It is an important factor when choosing a tent, especially if you will be camping in rainy areas or if you are on a backpacking trip and want to use the tent as rain protection.

Rule of thumb: If you want to be well protected against rain, both the tent and the tent floor should have a water column of at least 3,000 mm.

What Is an Awning Good For?

An awning is a smaller tent that is pitched in front of the main tent. It usually serves as additional space for equipment and other items that cannot be stored in the main tent. An awning also provides protection from rain and dirt when you enter or leave the main tent.

An awning can also serve as additional storage space for luggage and equipment if you are traveling for a long time and need a lot of space for your things. It can also be used as a living or dining area if the main tent doesn’t offer enough space or if you want to have a separate area for cooking or relaxing.

Why Do You Need a Mosquito Net in the Tent?

A mosquito net is a fine-meshed net that is placed in the tent to keep insects out. These nets are already integrated into a number of tents.

Mosquitoes and other insects can be a nuisance when sleeping in a tent and prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep. A mosquito net helps to keep these insects out and gives you the opportunity to sleep in a clean and unobstructed sleeping area.

A mosquito net is an important piece of tent equipment and helps to make your stay in the tent more pleasant and comfortable. It is also a good way to protect you from insect bites and associated illnesses.
