The size of a tent is generally described by the maximum number of people that can sleep inside, for example you will see tents described as 2 man, 2 person or 2 berth.

PERSON TENT – The Andes 4 Person Tent is a high-quality item which is suitable for all kinds of campers and all types of occasions such as camping trips, festivals or fishing.

The poles are essentially the skeleton of the tent and provide structural support. In basic terms there are two types of poles, bendy and rigid. Bendy poles are generally made from fibreglass or aluminium and are linked with elastic cord. They are flexible and lightweight. Rigid poles are sturdier and are more often used in traditional and trailer tents. With that being said, some tents are very spacious. It might be listed as a 4 person tent & be very spacious, meaning you’ll fit as 4 + your gear. Many tents will have a porch attached to the entrance. These can be very short, making a useful area is useful for storing kit you don’t want in the tent but want to keep dry, or quite large, allowing you space to cook. It’s also possible to buy separate porches (normally for larger tents) as well as canopies.

A handy rule of thumb is to subtract one person (or two people if you have a lot of stuff) from the number listed. This means if there are two of you (for example) you'd probably be best suited to a three-person tent. 2) Look for air vents and consider their size and quality Breathing, wet clothing and general humidity can all cause condensation to form inside your tent (try not to touch the tent fabric as this can also let water on the outside come through). Air vents are designed to help reduce condensation by letting vapour in the air escape. Doors and windows also offer ventilation, so it is best to keep these open when possible. Look for doors and windows with mesh insect nets to keep out midges even when open.
