Pop up Camping Tents - 2 Seconds Tents

An instant tent that pitches itself? Without looking for the individual tent parts? - What has long been the dream of many campers and festival visitors has now developed into a new camping trend: practical throw or pop-up tents are also enjoying increasing popularity in this country. Because the innovative "seconds tent" is made for occasional camping and spontaneous camping trips.

With an ordinary camping or family tent, the individual instant tent poles must first be put together. Setting up the tent always takes a certain amount of time and is often only possible without (one) other person(s) with a lot of skill and sufficient camping experience. Pop-up tents, on the other hand, are equipped with a special "spring mechanism" that ensures that the tent sets itself up, so to speak. For this purpose, the poles of most pop-up tents consist of robust fiberglass rings, which are firmly connected to the outer tent and are twisted into each other when the instant tent is folded up so that the tent literally springs open when it is opened again. With some tents, the tent cords are attached in such a way that the subsequent tensioning of the instant tent can be done relatively quickly. In short:

Thanks to their innovative folding mechanism, modern pop-up tents are predestined for all camping trips and situations that require quick and uncomplicated tent erection: Second and children's tents: Families with children in particular who spend their holidays together on the campsite appreciate the amenities that a pop-up tent offers. Because a small side instant tent is the ideal retreat for children and young people and therefore a perfect addition to the parents' caravan, mobile home or the large family tent. Spontaneous and short camping trips: Pop-up tents are a welcome alternative for occasional campers, festival-goers and "camping grouches" who are reluctant to spend their free time setting up instant tents. “Here today, there tomorrow”: Even if you only want to stay in one and the same place for a short time, as is the case, for example, on multi-day hikes, bike tours or motorbike trips, a small pop-up tent is ideal.

Pop-up tents come in a variety of sizes and designs - with and without anteroom, with a single, lightweight outer shell, or with an inner and outer shell (double-walled tents). Which2 seconds tent is the right one depends primarily on when and where the tent is used and how many people should be able to fit in it.

If you want to take your pop-up tent with you on a longer camping trip or a multi-day hike and you really want the tent to be used in all kinds of weather, you should opt for a double-walled model that reliably protects you from rain and sun as well as strong gusts of wind easily withstands - such as the Fresh & Black tent from Quechua. As a rule, instant tents are made of stable plastics such as polyamide or polyester. An additional coating (e.g. made of PE) finally ensures the desired waterproofness. A rainproof pop-up tent should have a water column of approx. 2,000-3,000 mm. In order to counteract the ingress of water, the seams should also be well finished. This is especially true for the floor of the instant tent.

Many campers know the problem: Although you would like to sleep in on vacation, it is too bright and too warm in the tent early in the morning. With the Quechua Fresh&Black tent, waking up early is now history. Because the Fresh concept uses a special material to prevent the tent from heating up in the sun and, with extra ventilation openings, ensures good air circulation so that the interior is pleasantly cool even on warm summer days. In addition, the instant tents are waterproof and extremely stable and can withstand wind speeds of up to 50km/h when properly fastened. The outer material of the Fresh&Black tents consists of a patented fabric, which is why it stays dark in the cabin even during the day. So nothing stands in the way of a comfortable lie-in in nature.
