All in all I say a good tent and if you can grab it for bargain price then an excellent 1st time tent – although I think it would be a bit of a squeeze to get 3 in each bedroom but sleeps 4 very comfortably!
4-Man Tent Size
These tents can also be a perfect fit if you`re going on a longer camping trip. The average 4-man tent size comes out to about 240cm x 220cm in the main floor area.
However, even for some experienced campers, we remain unaware that tents are not fully waterproof! Feeling the material, we might think that tents can repel water completely, but contrary to popular belief, tents are only water-resistant.
Tips For Tent Waterproofing
Good tents for backpacking will last, at minimum, 4-7 years before they start to naturally wear down and need a waterproofing refresh.
The parts of a tent include the tent body, vents, tent poles, a rainfly, vestibules, bug netting/mesh, groundsheets, tent pegs (stakes), guy lines, tie out points, storage pockets (gear lofts), tent footprints, etc. Each part plays an equally important part in the construction of your tent.
So, considering that, along with luggage and camping equipment, a 4 person tent for 4 people can get quite cramped. For a group of 4 people, especially if they`re adults, and all the camping gear they`ll likely bring with them, it`s a good idea to consider investing in a 6 person tent instead.
Typically, most tents come with a hydrostatic head value of 3000mm, and that would be a good gauge of what is enough to withstand rainfall in the UK. To be able to call a material water-resistant, it requires a minimum hydrostatic head value of 1000mm.
The most important thing to keep your tent dry in the rain is waterproofing it. While most tents are water-resistant, they probably aren`t waterproof. So, you should prepare for heavy downpours by preparing your tent with a waterproof spray like Nikwax`s Tent & Gear spray.
The same thing can happen in a tent: Warm air inside moves out to the rainfly, which is cooler because the outside air is cooler. The result is condensation on the underside of your rainfly. That water may then saturate your tent fabric or drip through a mesh window.
General consensus is that 1000mm rating is waterproof but tent fabrics at the lower end of this range are usually made with a focus on lightweight performance rather than longevity. 1500mm is generally accepted as a good standard for hiking tents whilst, with proper storage and care, providing a longer usable lifetime.
The warm, humid air inside the tent then condensates onto the area of the beams inside the tent. This moisture can then appear as water droplets on the AirBeams and in some cases may create pools of water at the base of the AirBeams.
Ventilation must ensure a steady supply of fresh air/oxygen (for reasons of both safety and sleep), as well as control condensation out of the tent. The ventilation system must be able to do this in two ways: through ventilation and ventilation.
Well, the outer wall of a tent protects it from the air, water, and other elements by using extra-durable material. On the other hand, the inner layer is more breathable, allows better ventilation inside the tent, and prevents the build-up of condensation.
Most 2-person tents have floor space of approximately 7 to 7.5 feet long, by 4 to 4.5 feet wide. That means that they can very snugly fit two people (it definitely helps if you like each other) or one person with a little space to move around.
Put a Tarp Over Your Entire Tent!
These things are very strong and waterproof and will add a huge amount of protection to your tent. Depending on the strength of the poles in your tent, you may need to add extra steel tent poles to the tarp arrangement so as not to place too much pressure on the poles.
Tents are sized by the number of persons accommodated, not including gear. For example, a four-person tent handles four adult sleeping bags shoulder to shoulder. Tip: Select a tent that is rated two persons more than the number of persons in your camping party.
Tent sizes are spoken in terms of Width and Length of the area that the fabric covers.
A tent system uses hinged connections to secure the structure. Hinged connections create a looser frame that is weaker, rattles in the wind, and is prone to leaking. Curved vs. Straight Legs – A TFS uses legs which add additional strength to the design and eliminates the horizontal eave present in straight leg tents.
These mainly include flame retardancy, water proofing, breathability, moisture permeability and its weight. The inner of tent comprises roof, walls, and sewn-in ground sheet (in selected cases). The structural support is provided by the poles, made of wood or metal or fibre glass, that may be flexible or rigid.
Four-Person Tent
If you had three adult campers plus a small child or dog, it would be a snug fit but doable. For this size, you are looking at an average floor area of 60 to 70 square feet.
As a general rule, a family of 4 will need at least a 6 person tent. A family of 5 will likely need an 8P tent and a 6-person family will need a 10P tent. However, these guidelines aren`t always accurate. Some very large tents will actually only sleep four people comfortably, especially if you are using air mattresses.
Most “3-person tents” would only fit 2 people comfortably. Many tents marketed as being for 3 people are 6`x7′. Given an average 18″ adult shoulder width, the tent would give only 4.5″ between each shoulder and side if three people were in the tent.
The average 4-man tent size comes out to about 240cm x 220cm in the main floor area.
CRIBBAGE: 4 players, 1st plays a king, 2nd plays a 2, 3rd plays a 3,(for 15 two) 4th plays a 4 (for 3), next plays a 5 (for 4) next plays an ace (for 5) next plays a 2 (for 5) is that correct or doesn’t the last 2 get included in the run?
ANSWER : Rule 7.2. Scoring
a. Points are earned during the play of the cards for the following single-card or combination of consecutive cards played. The player playing the last card that forms a combination earns the points (see scoring chart in Rule 1.7):
pair
three of a kind
four of a kind
straights of three or more cards in any sequence
a cumulative count of 15
the last card before player calls “go” (i.e., cannot play a card that would not make the count exceed 31)
a cumulative count of 31
the final card played, not making a cumulative count of 31

i.e you either count the run or the 31
