Coleman Makes Pitching the Tent the Best Part of the Adventure
The Coleman name is synonymous with outdoor fun having produced camping gear and all related accessories needed to enjoy outdoor family activities in comfort and convenience since 1905. Coleman tents demonstrate a keen understanding of the needs and desires of users through unsurpassed design features engineered to make every camping experience all about the fun and not about the toil. The best example is in how fast and easy it is to pitch a Coleman tent. 
A Tent For Every Season
Coleman makes a variety of tents for all manner of purposes whether it be from the smallest lightweight version for backpacking to those made for groups or families able to accommodate 4, 6 and 8 people in roomy comfort. Each tents comes in a convenient carrier from which it is packed and unpacked in seconds.
Preparation
As with all tent sites, choosing a spot that is clear of branches or twigs makes for a comfortable floor. It is advised to avoid pitching beneath trees as there is always a danger from falling matter.
Pitching a Backpack Tent
The backpack tent has a lightweight, convenient one-pole design for three-season weather conditions. With snag-free continuous pole sleeves, the time spent feeding the pole is reduced as it is only performed once. As with all Coleman tent designs, it is a matter of placing the tent and opening it up.
The centre pole on the backpack tent arcs over top and creates dynamic suspension. There are the standard stakes that need to be driven into the earth to secure the tent against the winds. The 8-foot by 6-foot floor is welded and seamed to keep out moisture and is large enough to fit two adults. Another built-in feature is the fully covered vestibule for dry entry and a full rainfly for protection from the elements.
Cabin Tents
Coleman cabin tents offer larger accommodations with a sturdy structure and extra headroom and storage space. These fully accessorized designs feature screens and hinged doors, screened porches and patented lighting and self-rolling windows. As with the smaller tents, snag-free, continuous pole sleeves are easily fed to support the structure.
Once the tent is out of the bag out, lay out the following:
- Bag of poles
- Tent Stakes
- Rainfly
- Divider
- Floor mat
Going from about ten minutes with the backpack tent to 20 minutes to pitch a cabin tent, the poles are colour coded to make sequencing easy. Start by inserting the polls into their corresponding fittings. Spread the tent out to easily insert the poles and attaching the straps with the corresponding insta-clips.
It is best to have a second person when propping up the poles. All that is left is to stake the tent and attach the rainfly and divider. With the zippered divider, there is a separate room large enough to fit a queen-sized air bed. The screened porch does not have a floor but that is not necessary. If there is a desire for a protective surface, a tarp will easily suffice. Otherwise set out the folding chairs and get to enjoying the beautiful outdoors in luxurious comfort.
Instant Tents
By far, the instant tent is the easiest tent to pitch. Out of the carrier and placed on the ground, this is a tent that is up and functional in 60 seconds or less. The poles are already attached and only need extending. This style of tent works with a mechanism of folded posts that comprise the centre Pull the tent out from the centre and pull on each of the posts to open it up. Much like a booth cover for trade shows, upon pulling the posts apart, the tent takes shape. Extending the four corner poles pitches this tent. Stake it down and it is ready for use.
There are tent accessories available from lighting, to tent kits, to fans and footprints enhancing the camping experience. It is recommended to come equipped with a mallet for driving the stakes that keep the tent attached to the earth in all kinds of weather. Coleman's double-headed mallet is designed with notches in the handle to gain leverage for easy tent peg removal. With all that Coleman has to offer, the camping experience is one to enjoy and remember with these tents that give the ultimate home away from home.
