What are the types of outdoor tent fabrics
Currently, the most commonly used fabrics are: liger cloth, oxford cloth, nylon, washing cloth.
For general leisure, nylon and washing are used the most, which are also better. Rigg and Oxford are generally used for professional outdoor sports, and are suitable for professional tents
in extreme environments such as mountains, plateaus, and snow-capped mountains. Nylon and washing cloth are mostly used with general leisure inflatable tents. Judgment criteria: the higher the density, the better, and the higher the degree of waterproofing, the better. There are mainly the following criteria:
1. The water-repellent surface is only coated with AC or PU. Generally only used for children or games inflatable tents.
2. Waterproof 300MM is generally used for beach tents/shading tents or cotton tents for drought and less rain.
3. Waterproof 800MM-1200MM is used for conventional simple camping inflatable tents.
4. Waterproof 1500MM-2000MM is used to compare mid-range inflatable tents, which need to travel for many days.
5. The waterproof tents above 3000MM are generally professional inflatable tents, which have been treated with technologies such as high temperature resistance/cold resistance.
The rainproof performance of the outer tent fabric is still calculated by how many mm of water column each square centimeter can withstand. The general professional tents have a rain resistance index of more than 1500mm, which can prevent moderate to heavy rain; while individual professional alpine tents can reach 3000-4000mm, which can prevent continuous rainstorms.
Excellent quality rainproof tarpaulin, not only has a high rainproof index, but also has a thick rubber strip at the joint of the awning seam to prevent water seepage at the seam.
Although the outer tent cloth has a high degree of rain resistance, ventilation is a problem. Even on a sunny night without rain, the inside of the tent will still be covered with water droplets after a good night’s sleep, especially when setting up an inflatable tent on the ground with high humidity such as grass. The accumulation of more will drip into the internal account. Relatively speaking, the outer tent with a low rainproof index has less water in the inner area than that with a higher rainproof index.
These are all the water vapor exhaled by the occupants in the inflatable tent, and the water droplets gathered on the inner surface of the tarpaulin by the steam on the ground. Since the outer tent is rainproof, the rainwater from outside cannot get in, and the water vapor inside cannot get out. So when you get up in the morning, avoid shaking the tent too hard, be careful that there will be ‘light rain’ inside. At the same time, if you travel in low altitude areas, it is not suitable to buy professional tents. It is not only a waste of money but also uncomfortable to use, and you will feel stuffy when you sleep at night.
Canvas tent purchase
As the saying goes, you get what you get for every penny, and the products with high prices will naturally have better craftsmanship, but many merchants are fake High price, the price of each company is similar, and you have no choice, so it still depends on the actual quality of the canvas tent. Under normal circumstances, the higher the density of latitude and longitude, the better the quality, the greater the toughness, the better the quality, the appearance should not be too rough, generally smoother quality and workmanship will be finer.
How to judge the quality of canvas tents? We can touch it with our hands, the softness, whether the degree is very abrasive, if people put their hands on it, it will feel very uncomfortable. Of course, this is not acceptable. You must buy the one you like, and the price and quality are relatively good. That’s right. In fact, the tent fabric can be calculated by the number of millimeters of water it can withstand per square centimeter. The more it can withstand, of course, the quality will be better. You can also verify it yourself with water, which is of course no need to go into details. After the actual verification, the most correct choice can be drawn.
In addition, good-quality canvas tents can not only be waterproof, but also shaded. Only in this way can we meet people’s daily needs. We can also take canvas tents under the sun for verification. It is easy to see the sun shining directly into your eyes. Of course, the effect of shading and rain protection is not very good. Only when people stand under the canvas tent and feel warm in winter and cool in summer, can it be regarded as a canvas tent with good quality.
Canvas tent price
For general use, such as tents used in rainy or sunny days, the price of 3 or 400 yuan is enough. But remember one thing, don’t buy some miscellaneous brands, which will lose the waterproof performance due to the peeling off of the fabric coating after a few uses. It is recommended to buy some brands of goods. If you will climb the alpine snow-capped mountains in the future, you will need higher configuration. In a word, you get what you pay for, and the price/performance ratio is only suitable for very few brands.
What to do if the outdoor canvas tent is broken
After many uses, the canvas tent must be damaged, usually there are damaged parts , Most of them are leaking sutures, holes in the rain cloth, and water seepage in the ground cloth. These damages can be repaired with suture glue. In addition, the rupture and damage of the camp pillars are usually replaced by new ones, so they are not described here. The following is a brief introduction to the treatment of suture glue:
When waterproofing sutures, first determine whether waterproofing is required, because not every suture needs to be treated with suture glue, usually The stitches on the puddles only need stitch glue when exposed to rainwater, so the stitches of the rain cloth and floor cloth must be waterproof. As for the inner wall of the inner tent, because it will not directly contact the rain, there is no need to rush !
The second is to decide on which side to do the stitching glue treatment, usually on the inside of the rain cloth and ground cloth. To be precise, it should be on the other side with the waterproof membrane, that is, without waterproofing. Only the side treated with the membrane can use suture glue. The easiest way is to drop some water on the cloth. If the shape of the water drop is still maintained, it is covered with a waterproof film. If the water will faint and spread out, that side is your target.
The next step is to apply suture glue, prepare a clean and dry toothbrush, remove the old bristles, then apply suture glue to the sutures and wait for the suture glue to dry After that, pull the fabric taut to stretch the seam so that the glue can penetrate, then wait an hour for the glue to dry completely and you’re done! Finally, use a sprinkler to sprinkle water to determine whether there is no water leakage. If there is still water leakage, wait until the fabric is completely dry before repeating the previous four steps!
