Frame Tents: For Family Camping

If you are new to Camping, the choice of tent can be bewildering. Family Camping is best catered for by a large good quality family dome tent or the tried and tested family frame tent. The family frame tent is made from cotton, a naturally breathing material that breathes naturally minimising condensation. Large Frame tents are very robust, spacious and comfortable. In many cases frame tents are easier to erect than a family dome tent.

O'Meara Camping  In this section of Family frame tents I have also included some tents that I think are worthy of been put on the same page as traditional old fashioned tried and trusted frame tents. Also included is a very special quick erecting family frame style tent that erects in 5 minutes.

  

At the bottom of this page are some photographs that clearly show how unsuitable many of the tents been sold for family camping really are. The photographs are there to show you what can happen on a windy day when there was no rain. Really the wind was not all that bad! The tents in various stages of falling down are only suitable for fine weather or really sheltered camping. Be aware! Many tents are now been offered for sale on the Internet or through Supermarkets and in truth what is happening is the price, followed by the quality is on an inexorable downward slope. The tents on this page represent value for money. All the tents have been erected by ourselves and examined and are suitable for camping in Ireland and abroad. For budget tents go to one of our other sections but be warned.


Finally: Traditional Family frame tents are going out of fashion, cotton is expensive and manufacturers can make dome tents look different and save money using synthetic materials. As most tents come from the Far East and by container, there is no prize for understanding why the Chinese want to put, three times as many tents in a container.   Tents that last about 1/3 of the lifespan of a frame tent. Everyone in the trade that I have asked thinks Cotton frame tents are better than dome tents and last longer.

This picture of the Errigal was taken during a storm. The front porch was closed down to protect it during the storm. The tent performed so well that we bought it for use in Ireland during our less than perfect weather.

This Cotton tent is the best we have found and can recommend it in confidence. The Errigal tent is incredibly quick to assemble.

How Modern Tents Behave In The Wind!........Misbehave!

 

 

 

   

  Some Pictures that Tent sellers might prefer you never saw!..................at a professionally set up Tent show.
The wind has made the dome poles implode and collapse. The guy ropes do not make up for inherent lack of strength, Good / better pegs do help.
 

And why we chose the Rigi Dome -Pictures taken on the same day as the tents above.
