Product Information

Once the tents are up, we closely inspect the interior of each one and rate them on how likely campers are to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience that meets their needs.

Tents are categorised by how many people they sleep. However, a family of four shouldn’t necessarily opt for a tent that sleeps four, as you’ll need to consider room for storage and living space too. A good rule of thumb is to choose a tent with one extra sleeping berth, so you always have a bit of wiggle room. An optional awning or canopy can provide protection from the sun and rain, creating a shaded area from which to enjoy the outdoors without having to stay inside your tent. 10) Extra features A good rule of thumb is to go for a tent that's claimed to sleep one more person than you need. If you're a family of four, for example, we'd recommend going for a five-person tent. We inspect the interiors of the tents during and after testing to see how each fares against the elements. Some tents manage to stay firm, but others blow over and even have puddles in the sleeping compartments.Tents with rigid poles made of stainless steel or aluminium are for building a rigid frame that will keep your tent sturdy in the wind. They can be heavier and more cumbersome to pitch, though. You'll want to ensure your tent footprint is the same size as the tent you're pitching – several manufacturers sell footprints specifically to fit certain tent models.

Most tents have thin, collapsible poles made from fibreglass. They often fold up into a compact size and are connected by an elastic cord. They're usually flexible and will need to be bent to fit the shape of the tent canvas during pitching. The living space is tall enough to stand in and it also features three (yep, three!) doors – two side doors and a huge front door which can be fully opened – so there are plenty of configuration options available and it also feels very spacious and airy.We pitch every tent, taking into account how long it takes, how clear the instructions are, how much physical effort is required, and how convenient the process is. With a reputation for quality and durability, Berghaus has been a trusted name in outdoor gear for years, and this brand-new range of pole tents is no exception.
