Going on a long hike or fishing with an overnight stay on the nearest river, for rest and protection from bad weather a tent will be required. As you know, the less the weight of the load , the more pleasant it will be for the outing on the nature. Therefore, experienced travelers suggest using an automatic tourist tent, which has a small weight, compact dimensions and is very easy to fold and unfold.
Advantages of camping automatic tents
Unlike usual, automatic tent is very light - its weight is about one kilogram. This point is especially relevant if you are traveling on foot, not by car. As a rule, such a tent is made of high-quality materials, which means that it will last a long time, provided that it is properly stored and operated.
An automatic tent consists of two layers of material that do not let in the wind or rain. And if it's hot outside, you can half-fold the outer layer, under which there will be a grid to protect against insects. Well, the main advantage for which such tents are valued is its rapid, almost instantaneous deployment.
How to fold an automatic tent?
As already mentioned, the assembly and dismantling of an automatic tent is carried out very quickly. First, you need to remove the cover from the tent and gently put it on the ground. Depending on the design of the device, in some cases it may be necessary to first deflect the guides from the center and pull the rope, which is fastened at the very top of the automation. One go up we get a tent deployed. Now it remains only to strengthen the axes at the edges of the pegs, so that the construction is not carried away by the wind.
The tent is folded in the same way, only in the reverse order - first the guides are bent towards the center, and then the tent is folded. To ensure that the metal elements of the structure do not rust, after the campaign they must be thoroughly cleaned and dried and then put on storage.
Winter automatic tent
This kind of variety also exists, but it differs somewhat from camping. It is smaller in size and has an unfolding frost-resistant bottom. It does not have a special mechanism to lift the dome, as with other tents. Here in the ribs are sewn metal arcs, which automatically unfold as soon as the tent is taken out of the cover.
In order for the tent to last a long time, it will be necessary to practice in its folding. After all, if it is not right to combine the parties, the metal spokes can be deformed and the whole meaning of such a tent will be lost.
