About  Freestanding  tents

A lot of hyping nowadays ...

This is why ...

Freestanding means the tent Does Not Need any pegs nor lines to be Fully pitched. Which is a Very Big Advantage !

Very many people (sellers ...) say there tents are freestanding where they actually mean only the innertent is. Which it almost always is. The vestibules of there tents are not freestanding, they need pegs to have and keep there shape. Or the flysheet needs lines to keep it away from the innertent, so to avoid condensation. Only very few freestanding tents are on the market, (so) let alone with a more acceptable price.

The tents I owned are thrully freestanding, so including there vestibules. They need an extra pole (all the way to the ground) to achieve that and so need a groundstrap for that pole. If the tent has not it really is not freestanding !

There is one very simple question to check this : will your tent (including the vestibules) stand free at a tarmac surface ?

It seems to be a new hype to call every tent freestanding (or even half freestanding) but fact is that by far most are not. Freestanding means Fully freestanding, not just the innertent. Which is a ridiculous way of specifying anyway since almost all innertents are freestanding. Only pyramid-, tunnel- and A-tents are not at all (standing), by there design.

Hardly any tent is Freestanding
