Are folding tents really waterproof? We explain the differences.

Not every tent is equally resistant to rain. We explain what you should look out for if you want to use your folding tent in all weather conditions.

1. The material: Our roofs are made of high-quality PVC-coated polyester fabric (min. 300 g/m²) and are therefore 100% waterproof.

2. The seams: It is important that seams are welded or neatly sealed. Cheap tents often fail here first.

3. Das Aluminium Gestell: Eloxiertes Aluminium rostet nicht und bleibt auch unter allen Bedingungen dank der kratzfesten Aluminiumlegierung leichtgängig und schön – im Gegensatz zu einem Gestell aus Stahl, das rosten kann und zudem deutlich schwerer ist als Aluminium.

Conclusion: Don't just look for the ‘waterproof’ label, but consider the whole package. At Peptent, you get tested quality for all weather conditions.
