Fabric There are usually two kinds of materials used in the making of camping fabric- Rip stop nylon and polyester/cotton blend.
•Rip Stop Nylon - The most ideal characteristic of nylon is that it is very lightweight, provides good ventilation and is leak-proof in rains.
It is woven in a rip stop style to enhance its durability.
The clear film and mesh material in the doors and windows help in ventilation while keeping out the bugs and flies.
•Polyester/Cotton Blend - Polyester camp tents are no doubt cheaper, but they do not allow adequate air to pass through.
Due to this reason, the tents made up of polyester/cotton blend are never suggested for camping in summer.
Poles Aluminum, fiberglass and carbon fiber are typically used for preparing the poles of camping tents.
•Aluminum - It provides better quality poles of tents.
The aluminum poles are strong but lightweight and durable in nature.
They are more suitable for large camping.
•Fiberglass - The poles made of fiberglass are cheaper and flexible.

These poles are more idyllic for small camping tents.
•Carbon Fiber - The carbon fiber poles are being used in expensive and technically skilled tents.
