tent so you can fully enjoy the tent camping experience. So it’s important that the design of your camping tent be best suited to your needs. I’ve already gone over five of the different designs and styles that will help you make the right choice.
They included the: 1) dome or umbrella tent, 2) modified dome tent, 3) A-frame or wedge tent, 4) tunnel or hoop tent, and 5) pyramid, cone, or teepee tents. Each design provided a unique set of benefits which may be good enough for some backpackers but not to campers. The sixth style described below is the modified A-Frame tent.
Modified A-Frame Camping Tents
While an A-Frame Tent has a single pole at each end to prop the tent up, a Modified A-Frame Camping Tent normally has two poles at each end to form a triangle and a single pole running along the top of the tent from the tip of the triangle at one end to the tip of the triangle at the other end. Modern A-Frame tents add a ridgepole and a center hoop to the traditional A-Frame to create a larger volume version of the traditional A-frame pocket. They are great space savers for packing and are lightweight as well. The modified A-Frame tent is designed for 1-2 people and many of these style tents now have vestibules for storage of camping gear.
North Face Tents are great backpacking tents and expedition tents. A perfect example of a modern day, modified A-Frame camping tent is the North Face Tadpole 23 BX Tent. This tent is perfect for backpackers and people going on expeditions. It’s a really nice 3 season tent.
