Sun Tent Basics
For most people, a tent is a common and familiar idea; however, a sun tent may not be the most familiar. Tents can have many functions like keeping you away from pesky insects, animals, and of course, harsh weather. Similarly, a sun tent functions to keep you away from the rays of the sun. They look similar to the camping tent but they are designed especially for use against the sun’s rays. They are also pretty inexpensive and can be found in many different colors, sizes, and designs.
The major differences between a sun tent canopy and a camping tent is that most of them are not design for long term and overnight use. Consequently, they do not protect against some of the things that camping tents protect against. Because they are designed specifically for protection against the harsh sun, they do not zip up and they often have a design that is open faced. Some of them don’t even have a bottom and only functions by staying propped up by a person’s head. Some models are designed big enough for two or more people and some that are also designed specifically for children. On average, most models are designed specifically for between one and two people and often times there are also varieties that can look extremely similar to camping tents that will accommodate eight people and can zip up their doors.
Prices for the sun tents can vary depending on the manufacturer and size you would prefer. The quality of the product and its construction is also an important consideration you should try and make! Smaller sun shade tents can be between 25 and 50 dollars. In contrast larger models can be between 80 and 100 dollars. Eddie Bower and other retailers like REI are well known for selling outdoor equipment like this one. Both of these retailers have very innovative designs like ALPS Mountaineering which has a tri-awning sun tent or otherwise called UV sun tent. It has a tripod design that can easily be set up and protect three people from the damaging sun rays.
The sun tents carried by Eddie Bower look like your traditional two person tents, but one corner of them are cut out to make it easier to enter the tent. The wall also has a pocket to help store items that you might need while being out in the sun like sunscreen. The flooring of the tent can be extended outward to give seating space for people during not so sunny days.It can also fold down so that you can conveniently carry the bag. The primary color choice is Mediterranean Blue.
