What does the water column mean?

The water column indicates how waterproof a tent is. The higher the water column, the more resistant the tent is to penetrating moisture.

According to the standard, a tent is considered waterproof from a water column of 1,500 mm. A distinction is made between the water column of the tent wall and the tent floor.

What helps against heat in a tent?

To keep your tent cool, you should make sure that your tent is in the shade during the midday sun. Good air circulation is essential when camping in summer - it's best to have windows or doors opposite each other. Our tents with darkened sleeping cabins also help to keep the tent cool. You can find more tips in our blog post on "Cooling your tent in summer".

How do I store the tent correctly?

Clean the tent and waterproof it if necessary before storing it for the winter. Also make sure that the tent is completely dry. To protect the tent fabric, ideally store the pegs, nails and poles separately. Store the tent in a dry, cool place with good ventilation.

When/how often to waterproof the tent?

How often you waterproof your tent depends on how often you use it and where you pitch it. However, we recommend waterproofing your tent at least every three months or before storing it. If you use cleaning agents, you should also waterproof your tent afterwards. You can find more information on cleaning, storage and waterproofing in our related blog post .

What is the vestibule in a tent?

The vestibule is a kind of anteroom outside the main tent. This area is covered, but usually not completely enclosed. For example, you can store equipment here that you want to protect but don't want to store directly in the tent. Depending on the type of tent, the vestibule may be larger or smaller.

How do I avoid condensation in the tent?

To avoid condensation in the tent, check in advance whether the ground is dry - otherwise moisture can form in the tent. Good ventilation is also very important. It is best if ventilation openings are opposite each other so that the air can circulate optimally. Wet clothing also contributes to condensation forming - so it is best to dry it outside during the day. "

Can a tent go in the washing machine or tumble dryer?

Never put the tent in the washing machine or tumble dryer! Detergents, softeners and heat attack the coating of the tent fabric and encourage mould. Spinning also puts a lot of strain on the material, while zips can damage the delicate tent fabric. This results in tears or loose seams that make the tent leaky.

How big should the tent be?

In addition to the living space that is shared, you should also pay attention to the cabins. The number of sleeping cabins and their location play a role here. Sleeping cabins separated by the living area or cabins with a flexible partition wall provide more privacy. As luggage also needs to be stored, you should also take this into account when choosing a camping tent. This can either be stored in the living area, an additional sleeping cabin or in the vestibule.

How do I set up the tent correctly?

In our blog you will find a blog post on the subject of tent pitching with the most important tips on how best to pitch your tent for your next camping holiday.

The guy ropes make the tent storm and weatherproof. This means that your tent is stable in different weather conditions and is ideally aligned.

How do I clean the tent?

For light soiling, you should only use clear water and a soft sponge to protect the tent material and the waterproofing. For more stubborn stains, you should use mild cleaning agents. Just note that you may then have to waterproof your tent again.

What is the "Skandika Sleeper Technology"?

Tents with Sleeper Technology have black sleeping cabins. The tent fabric around the sleeping cabins and the doors of the sleeping cabins are made from a special Sleeper Technology fabric that prevents almost 100% of the light entering the sleeping cabin.

What does the addition "Protect" mean?

Our tents with the addition "Protect" all have a sewn-in groundsheet. This means that the tent floor and walls are joined together.

What is the advantage of a sewn-in groundsheet?

A tent with a sewn-in groundsheet is particularly suitable for harsh, colder and wetter regions. The groundsheet protects against wind and ground moisture, but also against dirt and crawling animals.
