The Pop-up tent – Your companion on the next camping holiday

Those were still times when half a rocket science study was needed to build a tent in the campsite. Here is a herring, as a rope that must be anchored in the ground, you had already spent half the day, the tentbuild. If at all it succeeded. The dismantling was not even to think! But that’s over now, because that Pop-up tent makes construction a lot easier – and finally makes camping a real pleasure.

What is a pop-up tent?
Pop-Up or tents have a very special construction. While in „normal“ tents the boom has to be carried out and fastened by special recesses, Pop-Up tents have extremely flexible fiberglass rods, which are firmly connected to the outer skin. They are just waiting to be released from the tent cover, because as soon as they have the space for it, they unfold. That means you take the tent out of the shellThrow it in the air and before the tent lands on the ground, it has completely unfolded and stands like a one.
The final folding is the first few times a bit tricky due to the folding technique, but once you get the hang of it, you can do it in a few simple steps and that’s it Pop-up tent stowed safely back in the case.

Incidentally, everything started with the pop-up beach shells, which offered a perfect alternative to umbrellas: small, handy and easy to carry, they fit into any one beach bagand provide a shady spot to relax under the hot midday sun.

The first „real“ pop-up tents were launched by the British manufacturer Gelert, but quickly found imitators. Today, manufacturers such as Quechua or Frostfire are among the better known – but the pop-up tents are also often of no-name brands in surprisingly good quality.

What kind of pop-up tents are there?
As always, when a trend can prevail, there will soon be a flood of models and variants, and that’s a good thing. Meanwhile, there are pop-up tents in different sizes, from the one-man tent to the family tentfor up to five people.
But that’s not all, there are even tents now that have a separate sleeping cabin and lounge – and all without having to build anything extra! Simply remove it from the bracing cover and the family tent unfolds!
There are also special variants for the most discerning, such as „Fresh“ pop-up tents, which use a special coating to ensure that less heat can form in the tent. This is especially worthwhile if you want to camp and sleep in the southern climes.
It is particularly comfortable with „Illumin“ pop-up tents, which even have their own lighting.

What is important when buying a Pop-Up tent?
Before you get your first Pop-up tent buy, you should briefly answer some questions:
– How many people should fit in?
– Where should it go (hot or cool area)
– How much do you want to invest?

And then it can start with the search for the perfect tent. By the way, you will not only find them on camping sites on the internet, but also in outdoor shops and now even in well-stocked department stores and sometimes even at discount stores. Price differences can be reflected in quality – but they do not always have to.

It is important to pay attention to the fact that the Pop-up tent necessarily wind and waterproof. After all, who wants to be surprised by a surprising downpour in their sleep? In addition, the outer skin should have a UV protection and at best even provide ventilation – then nothing can go wrong with your next camping holiday!
