Tents are perfect for providing a temporary sleeping solution outdoors. In most cases, people prefer pop-up tents since they are easy to set up. You don’t have to spend many hours and a lot of energy setting up a tent. The design of most tents allows for a simple pop-up and they are ready to use. However, the real challenge usually comes down to folding the tent. You need the tent to fold compactly so as to allow for easy storage and transportation.
Below, we discuss simple steps on how to fold a pop-up tent. The folding process might vary a little depending on the size and design of the tent. A backpacking tent that you can carry over your back must fold compactly for easy carrying. Whether you’re folding a single-person or 2 person tent, here are simple steps to follow.
You don’t want to fold and store the tent with all the dirt and debris on it. You need to shake the tent to remove any leaves, sand, and dirt on it. Shaking the tent after folding will not help as debris and dirt will get stuck inside the tent. If you have time, you can wipe down the tent using a moist rug and some detergent.
