Our Testing Process

Spaciousness and Comfort

When evaluating spaciousness and comfort, we take into account the internal dimensions of each tent and its ability to accommodate a specified number of people. Key factors like roof height, door configurations, and convenience are also assessed.

Ease of Installation

The tents that take the least amount of time to install usually come with clear instructions and simplified assembly processes, such as color-coded poles and clips.
