Jack

There is something to consider before deciding to buy a tent for there are large variety of tents. Can any experienced one intro. the styles and your favorite style or creative style ones?

Answer
ââDome Tent
The dome tent: These tents owing to their shape are most spacious and can be divided into rooms as well. Can fit a single person or a family as they come in both individual and family sizes. Easy to carry by backpackers, it is very popular in camping. Its shape makes it more heat efficient. The tents have a ârainflyâ which is water proof and helps in keeping the interior dry. So depending on what type of group you have Dome tents have various options. Even the windows come in clear or mesh options. Dividers are available if you need more privacy in the family dome tents. The family tents also have the option of tafetta walls to make it more sturdy. Dome tents are very easy to move if you decide to shift to any other location close by. The most important thing is it is very stable in windy conditions.
ââcabin tent
The cabin tent: Well, if you plan to go car camping and need room to stand then the cabin tent is your best bet. The cabin tents are big enough that you can actually park your car inside it. It is a huge tent that was designed for camping with your car. Some of them stand as tall as 8 ft giving it the room to have a party as well. . These tents are made with heavy material which helps for long durable. These are also exclusively used for hosting backyard parties, or for bigger family groups that go on camping.
ââgeodesic tents
The geodesic tent: These tents were introduced by the Buckminster Fuller. He was an engineer, author, inventor. Mr. Fuller was the one who introduced the geodesic dome in buildings. The geodesic dome is based on âtensegrityâ structures such as tetrahedron, octahedron which are a net of continuous structures that do not touch each other but form closely bound spheres which is just enough to not make them touch each other but also have enough tension in them to make them separate spatially to form a sphere.
The geodesic tents have become popular because of its design as it requires minimum material and provides a large space. This concept is specially useful in tents as there is a central pole which gives it additional strength in high wind conditions as there are no weak points and is easy for one person to set it up. Geodesic tents are heat efficient and spacious like the other tents but their main selling point is the high strength and stability they provide.
ââTunnel tents
Tunnel tents: Tunnel tents or Mutli-hoop tents as they are also called are tents used both in camping, as a kids play area, even as tents for pets. Due to the ring structure in these tents they can give a good height. These are similar to A-frame tents but slightly heavier.

The tent is waterproof and is very easy to assemble. Another benefit of this tent is it has the capable of shedding heavy snow.

ââ Umbrella Style tents
Umbrella style tents: They are like umbrella because they have only one supporting pole in the Centre of the tent. They are simple and light, but not the type of tent you want to be in during camping or hunting. Mostly ideal for sitting under on a beach or in the backyard for a party to have shade while you are in the sun.

What are the pros and cons of an outdoor wedding?

canopy tents for beach image

Shelley

I am working on planning a wedding and, although I have plenty of time to decide, I would like to know what everyone has to say about an outdoor wedding. What are the good things, the bad things?

Thanks in advance!

Answer
(There are many different ways to have an outdoor wedding. I'm picturing one in a park, on the beach, or at a botanical garden, not the one in your backyard.)

Weather. You can't predict it, and you can't change it. Getting married outdoors when you have the least chance for rain or snow means you have the highest chance for heat and humidity. What if it's really windy? You could put up a canopy tent to protect from rain, but it could fly away in the wind. Plus keep the sun in mind. Are all of your guests going to be squinting at you? Are you going to be squinting at each other while saying your vows (which means you'll look pained in the photos)? Can your photographer get good shots in the sun and if the shade comes by without having to switch out a bunch of equipment and missing some moments? Are you going to light a unity candle in the wind? Is the sand from your sand candle thing going to fly away?

Expense. It may be more expensive to get married outdoors because you have to book two venues (the outdoor venue and the inclement weather venue). You also may be responsible for your own decor and chairs, and if you have to rent double (or pay someone to move them all indoors and wipe them clean of rain or debris), that'll cost more. If you're renting a tent, same thing. And what happens if something gets damaged in the weather? Do you have to pay for it?

Handicap access. If you have a lot of handicapped or elderly people at your wedding and you're getting married far from a parking lot, you're going to have to figure out a way to get them there. Are you going to make them walk? Hire a tram service? And is the ground level and are there places for these people to sit that is comfortable to them?

Bathroom. Enough said.

Clothing concerns. Weddings are generally dressy affairs. If your guests have to walk a mile to get to the location, remember the women are doing it in heels and not sneakers. If you're wearing a dress with a long train, you're going to have to deal with dragging your dress through mud, leaves, sand, or other muck. Or have a staff of bridesmaids carry your dress!

Visuals in general. I don't think decorating outdoors is as common because you're surrounded by nature already, so if you're dead set on lining your aisle with flowers and having a girl drop petals, remember the logistics and the clean up.

First look and other "aww" moments. If you're getting married in the open, your groom can probably already see you. Getting dressed in a tent on site? See "expense" hehe.

Are there any beaches in orange county ca that allows you to pitch a tent?

z

not to stay overnight but just for the day?

Answer
Many beaches have regulations against tents. Canopies are generally fine, but anything with sides on it is often prohibited on the beach. The previous poster is incorrect.

Such rules came about so that all may enjoy a view of the water. Also, people were using tents for illicit activities.
