What should you know when making a choice?

If you decide to choose an 8 person tent, it is a great solution, because there will be enough space for all campers. Moreover, an 8 man shelter doesn’t necessarily need to be fully - it accommodate 3 or 4 people. In this case, such temporary housing will be even more comfortable and cozy. It will be suitable for a long vacation in nature due to the high ceiling and a large vestibule. It will be possible to sleep there, and to equip a dining area with a kitchen.

It is recommended to pay attention to all-season 8 person tents first. They can easily withstand the summer heat, winter cold and surprises of the off-season. The universal option for all times is made of reliable and waterproof materials. Although the price of this product is higher than its summer or winter alternative, you will not have to think about buying another temporary housing.

What other factors are still worth paying attention to:

1. Size - models differ in the number of seats. The standard width of a single-seater is 90 cm. According to manufacturers, it should be enough for the comfort of one adult middle-sized man and his backpack. These dimensions are multiplied by 8 for an 8 man tent. However, it is still better to know the length and width in advance before buying.
2. Shape - options differ in degrees of comfort and reliability. There is a hemisphere, which is good against the wind, and rain drops do not linger on the streamlined form; a half barrel, suitable for camping or for use in the forest, where trees provide protection from the wind. The tent accommodates several people and makes it possible to walk at full height.
3. Layers - depending on the construction, 8 person tents are divided into single layer and double layer tents. The first ones are made of waterproof fabric and represent a single canvas. It is easy to fold and install it. The second ones consist of a waterproof outer layer and a light "breathable" inner layer. There is a 10-15 centimeter gap between them.

The bottom of the structure is also important. It is made of the same material as the outer tent. Nylon fabrics with Oxford weave, weave density not less than 210T and thread thickness not less than 210D are often used. The main indicator is water resistance. It is desirable that the bottom material withstands from 5,000 mm of water column.
