Family Tents
Dome tents have a very simple interrelation and are available in a immense conglomeration of sizes ranging from lightweight 2-person tents with curbed headroom up to 6 or 9-person tents with headroom exceeding 180 cm (6 ft). These may be oddball wall, or single-wall with partial flysheet, or double wall. Depending on the pole arrangement, some models Family Tents pitch outer-tent first, while others pitch inner-tent first. The former helps keep the inner tent dry, but the prior is easier to pitch.
A ridge tent can pad duty 5 to 8 people. They usually have a rectangular floor of capacity ranging from 8 ft by 10 ft up to 10 ft by 16 ft, and ridge heights around 6 ft to 7 ft. The oblique walls are mainly about 3 ft high. They appertain have a oddball upright pole at each borderline with the tops joined by a horizontal ridge pole. Tinier models might have an additional upright pole in the centre to help support the ridge pole. They often have two guy ropes at each corner, and guy ropes every 2 ft along the sides. If strong winds are expected then two additional storm guy ropes are attached to the top of each pole.
