Product Information

Much like the rest of the tent, there are, however, other factors to consider when it comes to the groundsheet. While this tent doesn’t have a full-coverage rainfly, the rainfly does extend far enough down and use Coleman’s WeatherTec system to keep you dry. The waterhead rating and season rating of a tent should be considered hand in hand. A two season tent is not designed for heavy rainfall so it won’t have a high waterhead rating. Three to four season tents, on the other hand, are used in a range of weather from warm sunny climates to cold and wet or tropical conditions, so they need to boast higher waterproof properties. If you’re planning on visiting a festival, you might not want a super fancy and expensive tent which might be at risk of getting damaged. Festivals are fun, but the party atmosphere and close quarters to other festival-goers increases the risk of accidents.

The fabric is made of polyester, and the seams on the tent are treated with a polyurethane coating, which improves their ability to repel water. Two king poles are included to prop open the front entrance and transform it into a canopy. It’s perfect for shading you from the sunlight, wind, and rain while increasing your ventilation. This means that it will provide adequate protection against most types of water damage, including rain, snow, and moderate flooding. Is 2000Mm Waterproof Enough The Finlake 6 Man 2 Room Tent is a spacious tunnel tent with a central living area and two side bedrooms. With space to sleep six people, it’s a top choice for group and family camping. Pay attention to the subsurface when setting up. Clean it of sharp stones, pine cones, thorns, etc. These could otherwise pierce the tent floor and make it leak.Nylon on the other hand offers you good UV protection. It is also ultra-light but stretches when wet. That being said, nylon hiking tents are expensive.

The urethane coating on the tent can flake off as time passes, so you probably don’t need to do it straight away. Sealing the Tent Seams:

You’ll find different waterproofing levels on tents. This means that some tents are more resistant to moisture than others. If you’re planning on spending a lot of time outdoors, you’ll want to ensure that your tent has enough protection against the elements. What do the different waterproofing levels on a tent mean?

For polyester, nylon, PE, and PU coated fabrics, use a water-based sealant. For silicone coated tents, a silicone-based one is the way to go Threadcount (T) doesn’t tell me everything I want to know about how waterproof a material is, so I can’t give the body itself a stellar rating. But that doesn’t bother me because it’s the rainfly and the floor you want to focus your lasers on. The fabrics are lab tested and there are two types of test. The first uses a device called a Suter Tester, the other involves columns filled with water bearing pressure down on the fabric. Both tests are similar. It’s crucial that you wait for the tent (no matter what material) to completely dry before storing away again.

The test is carried out by testing a sample of fabric clamped to a clear cylinder. Water is then gradually poured into the cylinder. The Air Zone ventilation system creates comfortable airflow, even with the fly on. Large front PVC windows bring sunlight through during the day. It offers a tall height of 79.9”, allowing people to stand up comfortably.
