Put Emphasis on Seams
Seams must be supported with nylon tape and must be double-stitched to ensure that these last a long time. The tape must be stitched into every seam, which will strengthen it and keep it safe from bad weather. All waterproof seams on the floor and fly are also factory waterproofed using a seam sealer. Prepare the tent right in your own front lawn or backyard before actually taking it out on a real camping trip. You can check how easy and fast you can pitch as well as test the durability and how well it stays up against storms. You can also go to a local sports shop to get some waterproofing spray and seam sealers. Make the mock setup weeks before just to be safe.
About the Fabric
Many new tents today are made of nylon. The coated nylon type is used to keep the tent waterproof. There is also a nylon mesh that works for gear pockets, inner walls and other compartments. There are no-see-um meshes that will be used for the windows to prevent insects from entering. The best tents make use of durable and thick fabrics that do not rip easily.
Zip the Tent
Always check the zippers when purchasing a tent. These should easily open and close and do not catch the tent fabric.
Testing Against the Weather
The different weather conditions can be very harsh on some tents. There are tents that have anchor ropes and poles that will keep it guarded against strong gusts. Tents with a round dome will hold up better against wind and easily cause rainwater to pour on the sides.
