According to the survey "KOA: 2022 North American Camping Report"1, under the dual impact of the new crown epidemic and the global economic situation, 44% of North American respondents plan to replace leisure travel with camping in 2022, and camping has become a short-distance vacation.
A new carrier of leisure activities. The "Global Camping Report 2022"2 pointed out that the global camping market size is expected to grow from US$62 billion in 2021 to US$68.93 billion in 2022, with an expected compound annual growth rate of 11.2%.
With the ever-growing camping activities, the demand for tents is also increasing day by day. No matter what your attitude is towards wild luxury camping, safety is something that can never be ignored, and choosing a tent is even more important.
The geodesic dome tent is one of the top choices.
What is a geodesic dome?
The geodesic dome was invented by engineer Buckminster Fuller in the 1940s. The lightweight structure can be modified for use in greenhouses, playhouses, storage sheds or a variety of other home and garden applications. The wooden geodesic dome is made from a series of pentagons connected by homemade connectors.
What are the advantages of geodesic dome tents?
1.Good stability
The dome-shaped structure of the geodesic dome tent allows it to disperse wind forces in the wild environment and is more stable than a square-top-shaped structure with four corners. The variant design of the same fish spine is a complex version of the double Y-shaped tent poles, with additional horizontal poles on the top. It often has good headroom, and is used in mid- to low-altitude hiking environments where the camp site is windy.
The head space is larger than that of the fish-ridge tent, and the double vestibule is convenient for entry and exit. The vestibule can be expanded, making it suitable for users who have certain space requirements in the wild.
In addition, the dome-shaped structure can be used in a variety of different environments and weather conditions, whether it is rainy, snowy, or sunny, it can maintain stability almost always.
2. Strong adaptability
The dome-shaped structure of the geodesic dome tent can be adapted to a variety of different application scenarios, such as hiking, camping, wild adventures, outdoor expansion, etc. Not only can it be used in various terrains such as mountains, grasslands, and deserts, but it is also very suitable for outdoor activities in home courtyards, terraces, parks, and other places.
3. Easy to set up and disassemble
Since the space under the dome-shaped structure is larger, it does not require pillars to maintain stability like the square-top structure, so it is easier to erect and dismantle. Just follow the instructions or practical experience to assemble its bracket and fix the top cover. Similarly, when disassembling, you only need to disassemble the bracket and roll up the dome part.
4.Easy to store and carry
Compared with traditional square tents, geodesic dome-shaped tents are smaller and therefore more convenient to store and carry. It can easily fit into a basket, duffel bag, trunk, or outdoor backpack without taking up too much space.
To sum up, after the epidemic is over, for the safety of you and your family and friends, you need a romantic, pleasant and comfortable camping environment. Choosing a geodesic dome tent must be the best partner for travel and leisure.
