• The popularity of tenting is on the rise. There
  are various reasons behind this. More and more
  people are moving towards experience-based
  entertainment. Even if someone cannot go to
  costly experiences such as paragliding and
  yachting, there is always the option of tenting
  in the open. It does not cost anything because
  all you need with yourself is a tent. Other this
  reason, COVID has contributed to increasing the
  popularity of tenting. It is a temporary
  structure that can be put up in a really short
  time. Tenting is quick, easy, and practical.
  Therefore, it is used in a wide range of
  situations.
• However, using a tent comes with its share of
  challenges. Especially canopy tents have multiple
  issues. In this blog, we have talked about those
  issues and presented solutions for them. Spoiler
  alert Aluminum Tent Solutions are the best.

Heavy Winds Can Be Problematic

• Tents are supposed to be put up in the open.
  That's the idea of getting a tent to have a
  private space when one is on an exploration trip.
  People camp under the stars, in the jungle, in
  deserts, and other places of wilderness. The tent
  can be at the whims of extreme weather. Wind or
  rain can blow up a tent because one desirable
  feature for getting a tent is that it should be
  lightweight. This feature can become a pain point
  in rains and winds. Other than depriving you of a
  private space of your own, blowing up of tent can
  cause injury as well. So, while you go to
  purchase a tent, make sure to get a sturdy tent.
  It must be able to withstand heavy winds and
  rains.
• Some tent manufacturers make strong tents that
  are reliable as well as lightweight. Steel or
  Aluminum Tent Solutions are reliable, but they
  are heavy as well. A steel frame with beefier
  legs can be strong as well as lightweight.
  Moreover, proper ballasting can also prevent
  blowing away.

Cheap Tent Frames are not strong

• The problem with lightweight tents is that you
  must fold them whenever the weather is a bit
  intense. The same is the case with cheap tents.
  They can't sustain heavy weather. However, you
  can still have a reliable tent at a
  cost-effective price. Look for these six features
  in a tent to make sure that the tent you are
  getting is strong, reliable, as well as
  affordable.
• Anodized Aluminum Tent Solutions are lighter as
  well as stronger than steel and other materials.
  The thicker the frame, the better it is. However,
  it becomes heavy to carry around. The tent's
  shape also plays a significant role.
  Square-shaped tents are not durable or strong. On
  the contrary hexagonal or octagonal tents have a
  better grip and provide greater stability. A
  strong tent uses anodized aluminum on its joints
  whereas poor-quality tents use plastic on their
  joints. Another feature that adds to the quality
  and strength of a tent is its footpad. Small or
  thin footpads indicate poor quality of the tent
  and vice versa. With these features in mind, you
  can find the right balance of cost vs quality.

Saggy Canopy

• In case of continuous and consistent rain or
  drizzling, the water can accumulate on the top of
  the canopy. This makes the top heavier and can
  result in the sagging of the canopy. This problem
  is seen when the tent is not rightly fit. If the
  fitting is right then, too much accumulation of
  water leads to leakage. By using the right fabric
  tent, you can avoid sagging or pooling. Moreover,
  the finishing of the tent also contributes to
  keeping the tent in its good form. The
  tight-fitted water-resistant fabric prevents the
  canopy from accumulating water and developing a
  pool.
• Another measure is to use tent gutters. If you
  have multiple tents, they can help keep water
  away from your tent.

Customized Aluminum Tent Solutions require too
much time

• Due to COVID, tents became relevant for various
  industries. The health sector, education sector,
  and even corporate sector needed tents to ensure
  social distancing. However, each sector had its
  requirements. It is difficult for tent
  manufacturers to supply customized tents within a
  short time. This becomes even more challenging
  when you need a custom tent within a short time.
• To deal with such issues, many manufacturers have
  now come up with baseline versions. This allows
  delivery of custom tents quickly. The
  manufacturers can work on already built
  structures.

Rust or mold

• At times you purchase a tent made of lighter
  material because you believe it would be easy to
  carry around. However, some materials can develop
  serious issues such as rust or mold as they meet
  rain or moist air. To avoid such issues, make
  sure to pick the right material tent. You can get
  yourself the perfect tent, according to your
  needs, by talking to a tenting specialist. Many
  tent manufacturers would love to guide you on
  this.
