Types of tents according to seasons and use

Tents can be classified into 5 different seasons depending on the weather conditions and the activity for which they are intended.

2 seasons

Designed for families or groups of friends who like summer campsites. They are spacious shops with large common areas, high ceilings and high ventilation. This is mainly for two reasons:

  • During hot nights rest can be affected by excess heat or condensation.

On the other hand, in the face of summer storms they must be impervious and tolerant to weak and medium winds.
