Even though Dome tents have many qualities to be positive about. It is still on the manufactures website the last time we looked. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 63D 190T Polyester taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain. This is yet another reason to only use the Tetragon HD in decent weather. Poles constructed of fiberglass help to keep the price down, they do though tend to be not as strong. Meaning it may not protect against heavy rain. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top.
Rainfly does not wholly cover the tent body. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you must store them inside the tent. The Tetragon HD is designed for 8 campers, many other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy. With 6% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people. With a floor area of 120 square feet, the Tetragon HD 8 is smaller than quite a few of the 54 other 8 person tents we have looked at. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would need to stake and tie it down correctly. Because of its size and shape, the Tetragon HD may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes.

The most straightforward dome tent should have a rectangular floor, sloped walls two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the top of the tent. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.ĭome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the various types of tents you will see when camping. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. 
In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. Many of the great points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them simple to carry. With 120 square feet of room inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 8-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to seven other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, larger tents similar to this one are a really good choice for people that appreciate having loads of space inside their tent.
