We pitch and peg out each tent following the instructions, taking into account how long it takes us, how straightforward the process is, and any struggles we have along the way. While they take a little longer to pitch than pop-up designs, inflatable tents, especially large six to 12 person designs, take a fraction of the time to pitch compared to standard large tents. Just peg out and pump them up. They’re expensive and often hard to deflate, but great if you’re planning a week or so under canvas. So there is nothing really “hydraulic” here, but the setup is indeed fast and easy, so I have included it in my list of best instant camping tents.

And because the inner bedroom pod is already attached to the flysheet, once you’ve clipped the poles into each of the corners you just clip the flysheet to the poles and you’re done. This also means you can’t get the inner fabric wet if pitching in a storm. It took us less than four minutes to pitch. UV protected fabric, good waterproofing and lots of internal storage options make this a thoroughly practical tent for anyone who wants a comfortable time under canvas but doesn’t have any interest in faffing about with poles and pitching. Regarding the capacity, the tent is officially for 5 people. For this, you have an area of 62 ft² (5.76 m²), and this would mean 12.4 ft² (1.15 m²) per person. They describe this as a ‘spacious area’.

This is both good and bad. The good is that you have poles from outside, this is sometimes described as a dry setup, and this means you can pitch this tent even when it is raining and its inner space will remain protected. The bad is that condensation can be an issue with such construction. Ventilation Worried about the weather spoiling your camping trip? Think your tent might get a bit cramped? A camping gazebo is a great way to add extra space to your camp and protect you from the unpredictable British weather. At Decathlon, our range of camping gazebos come with and without sides, so you can have somewhere to hide from the rain or shade from the sun. It can also create a great social hub, giving you more space to relax whatever the weather. Our camping gazebos come with a built-in floor, so you don't have to worry about your possessions getting wet or dirty. Don’t invest hundreds of pounds on a large tent – or hi-tech mountaineering design – that you only need for one weekend at a festival. In this situation, we suggest borrowing one from a friend. Air circulation might not be your first concern when tent shopping, but it can have a major impact on your comfort. During the course of our testing, all the tents experience heavy downpours, wind and muddy conditions.

To pitch, you simply pull on two chords that clip and bend the poles into position. With the flysheet, bedroom and groundsheet already fitted, you’re ready to go in 30 seconds, if that. Once pitched, you can move it into position and peg out. You’ll want to take an eye mask if you plan on sleeping past dawn as it is very light in the mornings – but you’re using it for adventure, rather than sleeping off festival excesses. A handy rule of thumb is to subtract one person (or two people if you have a lot of stuff) from the number listed. This means if there are two of you (for example) you'd probably be best suited to a three-person tent. 2) Look for air vents and consider their size and quality The tent has doors on all sides. This is quite unusual to see, and frankly, I do not see the point of so many doors for such a single-room tent. The picture below shows how it looks with two of the doors open. As you realize from the pictures, the walls are steep and almost straight, so I would put it in the group of cabin tents. Cabin style design with steep and almost straight walls.

Be warned, though, that you’ll need to be at least five-feet eight inches (172cm) tall and have a relatively strong grip to lift and clip the tent together. Then folding the tent in half vertically, and then again horizontally to leave you with the tent folded into a circle Decathlon popularised the pop-up tent and revolutionised festival camping, but those early designs, while easy to put up, were extremely difficult to fold away again. Thankfully, the design has evolved and, while it’s still incredibly simple to pitch, it can also be put away without (much) swearing. Courtesy of colour coded straps and clips, it’s easy to fold the tent in half, after which a pull cord system then holds everything in place while you fold it again to fit the bag. It’s still a faff, but so much easier than previous versions. It’s expensive compared to basic pop-up and fast pitch tents, but this high-quality design is made using tough ripstop polyester, has excellent alloy components and is extremely waterproof. It’s an investment, but will last for years. Tents are sized according to the number of adults they can feasibly sleep (two-, four-, six-person and so on), but unless you’re looking for an ultralight adventure tent for one person, the rule of thumb is that if you halve the stated person number, you’ll get the number of adults the tent will actually sleep comfortably. A four-person tent will give two adults plenty of extra space for bags without being squashed but, if you’re camping with kids, a six-person tent (with separate bedrooms) is ideal.
Five Man Pop Up Tent - The Range
Five things to look for when buying a pop up tent 1) Be wary of how many people supposedly fit in the tent Manufacturers don't appear to take storing kit into account when labelling tents, so you might find yourself short on space.

Nothing quite beats cooking outdoors, and if you want to take your alfresco cooking experience up a notch, consider investing in a quality camping stove. You may prefer a compact stove that runs off a gas canister if you enjoy wild camping or a camping cooker with more space for longer family camping trips. Whatever type of camping stove you choose, you can look forward to cooking up a tasty meal after a busy day exploring. That being said, pop-up and fast pitch tents are generally small and designed for two adults at most. Some of the latest fast pitching designs have a little more space – with room for young children – but if you need an easy-to-pitch tent for a large family looking to camp for more than a long weekend you’ll need to invest in an inflatable design. These come in sizes that sleep up to 12 adults. How much should I spend? As long as the sky is clear you might do great with such a tent. The four windows with mesh should give enough air circulation. But when it is raining, you have to keep everything closed. In such circumstances, you would want to have floor vents and also roof vents. Both are missing here. Regarding the price, this is a very affordable tent, a good value for the money. It is rare to have aluminum in such budget tents. Specifications

To pitch, you simply peg out the flysheet and insert the pole. The tent’s inner can be removed if you want to use it as a sunshade or bivvy, and if the weather is warm the centre pole can be extended to increase airflow. The outer fabric is made from silicone coated ripstop that will survive any weather and there are two doors with mosquito net protection, so you can avoid clambering over people in the night. Unlike many compact tipi tents, the pole is positioned off centre so it doesn’t impact the bedroom space. Instead, it mounts at the front of the opening and is held in place by a secure fabric loop. It’s an ideal size for a young family.
