I'm buying a new family tent and want to avoid the old metal pole system that can take forever to figure out. Are the shock-corded the type that connect several smaller poles via an inserted cord? Thanks!


Answer
they are tent poles that have an elastic cord that joins 2 or more poles. that gets you away from the old school metal poles

What is a good quality steel frame tent?

My family has long had a Coleman steel framed family size tent. it had 2 large rooms, and we really enjoyed it. Sadly the waterproofing has worn away and we have tried but ultimately failed to reseal it. So now we want to get a new one, but can't find the same kind we had.

Our budget is about $300, but for good quality we will be willing to pay more. We're open to any brands, but Coleman is our favorite. We also prefer the kind that look similar to a cube :)

Thanks in advance!



Answer
Ah the good ol canvas coleman cabin tents to bad they don't make em like that any more. New lighter materials, better fire proofing innovative changes but you can still get Coleman quality in a similar design with their famous stay dry guarantee. Try out this one,
