shopping (for a multi-purpose tent)
Dome tents are excellent for a wide variety of
uses. They combine roomy interiors with sturdy
contruction and light weight. Below is list of
their general characteristics. The designs vary
according to specific uses, which are discussed in
later scenarios.
- Rip-stop and mesh upper section
- Floor coating that extends about four to six
inches up the sides, often referred to as a
"bathtub" design, which prevents the seepage of
ground moisture.
- 7000 series aluminum shock-corded poles that
do not obstruct entry/exit points. Even
better--some poles are designed to be easily
repaired in the field.
A tent fly that extends to within a few inches
of the ground.
