Additionally, dome tents rely on guy lines for their strength and can be more difficult to transport across long distances because of the multiple hoop frames that need to be carried along, meaning dome tents are less desirable for hiking trips (or other camping experiences where the campers will be moving the tent's location multiple times).
Having the right tent when going camping can make or break the experience ?? no one likes to get rained on or spend hours trying to put up or break down a temporary housing structure. As found in Moon California Camping by Tom Stienstra (Avalon Travel [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2007), five of the most important aspects when purchasing a tent are how many people can fit inside, portability, lifetime durability, weather resistance and how quickly the tent can be put up and taken down.
A-frame and hoop tents can be made to accommodate several people but typically are one- or two-person tents. Typically a rain fly does not extend very far on a one- or two-person tents and the bottom sidewall can end up being soaked during a good rain. While hoop tents may rock in crosswinds, A-frame tents shed wind adequately.
A-frame and hoop tents can be both freestanding or fixed depending on if the camper chooses to use guy lines. Both types of tents are relatively easy to put up and take down, which makes their portability high - without guy lines, you could pick up the tent and move it without even breaking it down if necessary.

One to three hoops make a tube-shaped living space for hoop tents that give a larger inside than A-frame tents while taking up the same floor space.
Almost all tent manufacturers include an estimated number of people that will fit inside any given tent. However, this number often is used to count the number of small people who are sleeping close together and there probably won't be much room for indoor activities.
The material a tent is made out of can give a clue to its weather resistance. Light-colored tents are typically used as sun shields and are most helpful from late spring to early fall. Four-season tents are much heavier than other types of tents but are designed to withstand high winds, rain and even snow. They often include enough room for gear storage and sometimes have a vestibule for cooking. Look into what the weather will be at the campground before choosing a tent.
Wedge and dome tents are both made up of intersecting hoops to create a square or dome-shaped living space inside. The more intersecting hoops in a wedge or dome-shaped tent [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the more study the tent will be ?? and the more difficult the setup will be.
The stability of the tent is questionable because of a lack of flooring and the single center pole. Even multiple guy lines (used to stabilize the tent by staking the sides to the surface ground.
Avian Tents
Usually a tent of last resort, or one that is made for an especially rugged experience, this tent consists of two poles with a tent cover over it. The avian tent is intended for quick shelter and gives protection only against the most mild of weather conditions. Ventilation is considered a primary function of the avian tent.
