Product Information

Carrying Whether you are doing a short day walk or you are looking to do a longer expedition for a few days, the load carrying kit that you use to transport all your other gear can be the difference between making it to the end and cutting your trip short. Read More Winter or expedition pyramid tents are designed for use in harsh weather conditions. They are typically made from heavier, more durable materials and feature reinforced construction for added strength and stability. Many winter pyramid tents also include additional features like snow skirts and multiple vents to handle heavy snow and strong winds. In some cultures, these are also referred to as teepee tents. V. How to Set Up a Pyramid Tent

This arrangement gives all occupants; fair access to their sleeping position and gear, a little wet mess room at the doorway and no excuse for walking on the gear of others. I also like to have a generous space for gear storage at the end of each sleeping position. This all makes a square design very efficient for multiple occupants. As already mentioned, every tent will suffer from condensation in certain conditions and generally to a certain degree, this is simply a fact of life, but as long as it runs down the inside of the outer flysheet rather than dripping onto the inner tent, then all is fine. And this is where the pyramidal shape of the PYRAMID tent works extremely well. Condensation only becomes an issue if it drips onto or down the inner tent. To date we have suffered no really serious condensation issues with either tent. Place the pole in the center of the tent and extend it until the tent fabric is lifted off the ground. The pole should be vertical and the tent fabric should be evenly tensioned on all sides.Made from single layered SuperLight ripstop nylon, with 3,000mm fully waterproof PU coating throughout The five numbered navy blue cells are for inputting various tent parameters. These have been set with my default values and feel free to change them, but you might like to keep some of my models with my default values showing for future reference. Most pyramid tents and tarps have a single front door, which can be problematic depending on its position and the number of people sharing the shelter. While not an issue for solo use, you’re probably going to wake up a partner if you have to get out of a multi-person pyramid at night. When evaluating multi-person pyramids, try to find ones that let you orient your head facing the front wall so you and your partner(s) have equal access to the door, rather than pyramids where you’re lying perpendicular to the door. Another option is to get a pyramid that is larger than necessary so you have more room inside to move around. Wide air gap between the bottom of the tarp and the ground.

Again, this is where erecting this tent a few times will definitely be beneficial, as it gives you chance to experiment and indeed iron out any initial erection issues... did I just say that? Unless you remember or know exactly where the 120cm length setting is on your walking poles, we would suggest marking them to make life easier, this will then give you a baseline to adjust from should you wish.F) Usable LBL for ‘sleeping mat widths’. This is my estimate of the the number of sleeping mats that will fit side by side within this minum clearance length across the longest portion of the tent. The sleeping mat width is entered at line 4. Note: This computation only works correctly where Bell wall height (2.) does not exceed Pyramid sleeping clearance (1). Bell wall height. This should be set to zero if no wall is required. My default value is 30 cm which equals my chosen sleeping clearance. This means that most of the tent footprint is usable for sleeping with this wall height. With a full bug mesh inner, our IMP is really better suited as a UK summer, 2/3 season tent, but of course this depends on just how the individual wants to use it. The steep walls of a pyramid tent are one of its key advantages. These walls help to shed wind, rain, and snow, making pyramid tents an excellent choice for camping in harsh weather conditions. The steep walls also create a spacious interior with plenty of headroom, adding to the comfort of the tent.

Consider how easy the tent is to set up. Pyramid tents are generally easy to set up, but some models may be more complicated than others. If possible, try setting up the tent before you buy it. The Mountain Laurel Designs Duomid is a versatile and reliable shelter suitable for a wide range of conditions. It’s a favorite among hikers due to its simple yet functional design. Specifications:Ventilation is a crucial aspect of any tent design, and pyramid tents are no exception. Most pyramid tents feature a vent at the peak to allow for airflow, helping to reduce condensation inside the tent. IV. Types of Pyramid Tents

D) Pole height. This is the height of the tent pole of the pyramid and it will increase by the length of the bell wall if there is a length entered at line 2. Extra pole length will be needed when snow from the tent floor is excavated.This tent has a 3000mm PU coating plus a sheltered side door - so it'll keep you dry in stormy weather. Its air vent helps to prevent condensation inside too! To use the DuoMid for Solo use, angle the pole off center a few inches for more room, or for tall users over 6’1″ and up to 6’4″ to sleep at a slight diagonal.
