TYPES OF tents

Tents come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so make sure you buy something that suits your specific or future needs

Ridge tent

The original-style tent, with a pole at each end and a cross pole. While they’re very stable, these tents don’t offer much head height so are best for one or two people.

Dome tent

A popular style with flexible poles that bend into semi-circles for a dome-like shape. Their shape provides more space inside, though the poles are less flexible the larger the tent.

Geodesic tent

The most stable design thanks to poles that cross over one another. Ideal for windy conditions or temperamental weather, though more complicated to set up.

Tepee

Much like a bell tent, this boho style is on-trend though not the most practical unless set up semi-permanently for glamping.
