Tents and Camping




By Phil Edwards

Outdoor weddings and garden parties are so beautiful, and the sky is the limit for decorating and themes- and the only concern is the inability to accurately predict the weather. Consider this; standing outside with your groom or bride, next to a babbling brook, with your friends and family seated in rows behind you. You've got a gorgeous decorated arbor for the minister to stand under, and the timing is perfect, as the setting sun is casting a bright, orange hue across the water and creating a feeling of warmth to all of your guests. But what is that overhead? That's right, it's a big, dark gray storm cloud, and it's moving in threatening to ruin your outdoor wedding!

The weather is never completely predictable, and having an outdoor event means you are taking a chance on the weather. Unless, of course- you plan ahead and arrange for tents, gazebos or marquees to be set up- which is your best bet for an enjoyable outdoor event, regardless of the weather! Rain and wind are no match for the gorgeous tents you can set up to protect yourself and your guests from the elements and unpredictability of the weather. You can find suitable tents for any occasion, for the fanciest of weddings, you can rent or purchase all white canvas tents, with beautiful arched windows in each of the canvas walls, and high peaked ceilings, which you can use for decorating with twinkling lights, flowers, or other items of your choosing. Marquees and frame tents of this caliber are also used for outdoor corporate events and picnics often.

You've seen the tents used for weddings, garden parties and also by vendors at street markets and fairs. Vendors often used them to designate their space, for their outdoor "store", and give their customers a place to come in out of the hot sun, wind, or rainy weather- hoping to encourage their guests to stay and shop some more! It also protects the items that they're selling from adverse weather conditions, as well.

Tents really do have a variety of uses. At first thought, the word "tent" probably brings to mind the smaller sized tents that are mainly used for camping. Typically, they can be set up by just one or two people, and are just large enough for a few people to get into and sleep fairly comfortably. There are, however, tents for camping that are much larger- designed for groups and large families to use for extended vacations. Some camping tents are actually part of a trailer, so they are set up to allow for easy traveling, you just hook your trailer to your vehicle and take off!

You'll find a variety of uses for tents, as well as tents that are available in very small sizes and shapes all the way to sizes that are best compared to houses! In fact, many of the larger tents resemble homes, in that they have separate rooms and doorways, and storage areas designated. Tents really extend the amount of living space you have at home, since they allow you to enjoy the great outdoors even when the weather isn't conducive to spending time outside.
