Tent op kamp

a large tent in the woods

For most of us, a tent is a temporary dwelling place, but for some it is home. Tents are usually constructed of poles to form a framework covered by a flexible protective shell -- cloth or hide. They can be taken apart and packed much more compactly for travel. Tents can be as large as a circus "big top" or so small that one person can barely fit inside. They usually have a rounded or triangular silhouette. Tents are also used to create a temporary space for a party. Party tents may have just the top without sides, transparent or more open flaps on the sides to allow guests to enter and leave the sheltered space easily.

Do you have any advice on tent care or selecting the right tent? If you do, please edit this page and add them.

Other kinds of tents include small, temporary structures to protect young plants or play tents that children construct for fun, creating a small play area with a sheet or similar cover.
