The stability of tents and the strength of tents
When the pull rope is fixed, in order to avoid others do not pay attention to mix down, on which a bolt of red cloth to remind people of note. When the wind is not even a good habit of nail, or back empty tent is easy to blow away. When the wind is strong, if you want to leave an empty tent, you'd better put down your tent and put weights on it to prevent the wind from blowing the tent. If the morning time permits, it is better to wait for the sun to come out and dry the tent behind. The dry tent and the wet tent will be much different in weight. Tent maintenance: every time after going out, home, to open the tent, placed in the ventilation place to dry, otherwise, for a long time will be moldy. Don't wash the tent as much as possible. If it's dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth. When placed, avoid prolonged drying, and the fabric of the tent may accelerate aging. Avoid contact with chemical reagents.
How to achieve the wind resistance of the tent, first of all, whether the design of its shape conforms to aerodynamics. Usually, the tents are divided into dome and corridor. In comparison, the dome style tents are tall and spacious, and the corridor type tent is short and narrow. Although the short narrow means uncomfortable but windy to live together, it is influenced by wind and small area, both have door canopy design extends outward, especially in parallel with the wind when the wind building is very good. Another key to ensuring the windbreak of the tent is the overall strength of the tent. The rod material is usually of glass fiber and Aluminum Alloy, there is no doubt is of course the strut strength of Aluminum Alloy higher, and the overall strength of the more number of rod is the higher the tent. Also, the tent pegs (stake) and rope ropes should give full play to their functions and greatly enhance the wind resistance of the tent. It is a painful thing to build a tent in the wind, so as to make full use of natural barriers, such as the shelter of the mountain and the back of the boulder. Can be considered in the snow area, dig a snow pit, then the tent in the snow pit, dug in the snow by the tent wind surface making up a snow wall. The flying tent was blown away to avoid the build process, with stone or other heavy backpack put it down. If it's unfortunate that a single person is setting up a tent in the wind, it's definitely a test.
The windbreak of a tent: we usually have two weather problems when we go out: rain and wind. A little better tent against rain is no problem; but against the wind is another matter. Many foreign high-end tent is in this article, especially the high-grade Mountaineering Tent in order to strengthen the wind resistance and not heavy people carry even abandon the waterproof effect - of course this is not only because of the rain snow in the mountains. The best wind proof tent is a mountain tent for mountaineering. How strong can it withstand the wind? For example, the famous The North Face, the classic Mountain 24 (aka: Mount Tent), can withstand the airflow of 85mph without collapsing in a wind tunnel.
