Frame tents are generally more expensive, but they are also more durable and self-standing. They don't have center poles, which means you can use the interior space to its full potential.
On the other hand, pole tents are more affordable than frame tents. They are easier to set up and take down. However, they do have center poles that go through the top of the tent. Also, they require anchoring systems to pull the top tight.
If you take good care of a seasonal use tent, it can last up to 10 years. Tents that are only used during summers will last longer than those used year-round.
To prolong the life of a tent, it is important to handle it properly during transportation, setup, and tear down. Additionally, using a drop cloth can help.
It is recommended to take the tent down before severe weather to prevent any damage.
The top priority in that situation is safety. Therefore, it is important to immediately evacuate the tent site at the first sign of harsh weather.
If bad weather is predicted, it is best to completely strike the tent. However, if it is not possible to take down the tent completely, try to remove the tent tops and sidewalls from the tent as possible to reduce wind loading.
Using water barrels to anchor a tent is not a good idea as they do not provide enough weight to counteract the forces required to keep a tent in place.
To clean a tent manually, start by sweeping the surface where you will lay the tent fabric to remove any debris. Always use a drop cloth between the tent fabric and the surface to avoid sharp objects that could puncture holes or damage the fabric while walking on it during the cleaning process.
Next, clean the tent by hand using tent cleaner or warm soapy water. Use clean rags or soft-bristled brushes to loosen dirt and debris, and then rinse the tent top with clean water.
No used tents or canopies are sold by CELINA. Our products are of the highest quality and only sold brand new to our customers.
Both aluminum and steel poles are strong and resistant to corrosion, but there are some differences in weight, price, and susceptibility to corrosion.
Aluminum poles are lightweight and have a sleek appearance. However, they need to be made thicker than steel poles to achieve the same capacity. All aluminum poles used by CELINA are anodized, which creates a hard and protective coating that enhances their outdoor performance.
On the other hand, steel poles are extremely durable and cheaper than aluminum ones. However, steel is heavier than aluminum, which can be problematic when dealing with a large number of products. CELINA's steel pole and tube products are galvanized to prevent rust. Galvanizing can help prevent corrosion to some extent, but items should be covered when not in use to prevent or minimize rust formation.
Installation times can vary significantly based on the tent's type and size, the experience of the installers, the installation site, the weather conditions, and other factors. Check out our tent pages for an idea of installation time.
A tent with a sectional top comprises multiple pieces of fabric that need to be joined prior before installation, whereas a one piece tent top is a fabricated unit.
The sectional style tops are designed to provide flexibility in expanding or shortening the tent's length - sections can be added or removed to create a tent of almost any desired size.
This enables maximum tent usage, as two ends and a few middle sections can be utilized for various sizes depending on the occasion.
Additionally, it makes transporting larger tents easier, as the fabric is divided into more manageable pieces.
