Technical Help
What Size Tent Do I Need?

Tent capacities (e.g., "4-man") indicate the absolute maximum sleeping space and do not account for luggage or living comfort. When choosing a size, consider the following:

  • The number of sleepers: How many people are in each room?
  • Your bed size: A standard double airbed takes up the space of about three sleeping bags.
  • Storage space: Factor in the extra room you will need for clothing, bags, and gear. 

Our suggestion: For a family of 4, we highly recommend a 6+ berth tent to ensure comfortable living and storage space. Read our full guide to choosing the right tent.

Air Tents vs. Poled Tents: Which Should I Choose?

Both have distinct advantages depending on your camping style.

  • Air tents (inflatable): Extremely fast and easy to pitch, even for one person. They perform brilliantly in high winds because the beams flex rather than snap. They are generally heavier and more expensive.
  • Poled tents: The traditional, budget-friendly option. They have a lighter pack weight and smaller pack size, making them easier to transport, but they take longer to pitch.
What Does Hydrostatic Head (HH) Mean?

Hydrostatic Head is a way of measuring how waterproof a tent is. It indicates how many millimetres (mm) of water can pool on the fabric before it starts to seep through. 

  • 1,500mm: The minimum legal requirement to be called "waterproof" (best for light summer showers).
  • 3,000 mm-4,000 mm: The standard for most quality family tents, easily handling heavy UK rain.
  • 5,000mm+: Premium waterproofing for extreme weather and longer lifespans.
What Do Tent Seasons Mean?

Tent season ratings guide you on what weather conditions the tent is designed to withstand.

  • 1-season: Very lightweight, meant for warm summer nights and light showers (often used for festivals).
  • 2-season: Ideal for late spring to early autumn in generally fair weather.
  • 3-season: Designed for spring through autumn, capable of handling heavy rain and strong winds. (Most family tents fall here).
  • 4-season: Built for year-round use, including harsh winter weather and snow.
Do Darkened or Blackout Bedrooms Actually Work?

Yes! Many of our tents feature darkened fabrics in the sleeping areas.

  • Better sleep: They significantly reduce early morning light, helping you (and importantly, the kids) sleep past sunrise.
  • Temperature control: True blackout fabric can also help regulate temperature, keeping the bedroom cooler during the day and warmer at night.
What is a Tent Footprint, and Do I Need One?

A tent footprint is a custom-sized groundsheet that goes underneath your tent. While not strictly mandatory, we highly recommend them to protect your investment.

  • Protection: It guards your tent’s sewn-in groundsheet against sharp rocks, thorns, and rough terrain.
  • Easier packing: When it is time to go home, the footprint gets muddy instead of the bottom of your tent, making packing up much cleaner.
  • Warmth: It adds an extra layer of insulation against the cold ground. 
Does The Tent Come With Everything I Need To Pitch It?

Yes, all our tents come ready to pitch right out of the box.

  • Poled tents: Include the tent, poles, standard pegs, guylines, and a carry bag.
  • Air tents: Include the tent, a manual hand pump, standard pegs, guylines, and a carry bag.

Pro Tip: While the included pegs are great for standard grass, we always recommend buying a set of heavy-duty Hard Ground Pegs if you are camping on rocky or hardpack soil. Shop our tent pegs and mallets here.
