How to choose outdoor inflatable tent material?

For inflatable tent tarpaulin, it considers that in the harsh environment of easily damaged, you should pay attention to whether
the use of scratch (ripstop) structure, it is simply a small box type weave, even broken a point, not more pull in strong winds
greater.
Decades ago, almost all of the tent material is processed through a waterproof canvas or rubber ponchos, although it able to
meet the requirements of weatherproof, component too full! So in light and strong material widely used today, let's see what
kind of material is most suitable for your tent?
(1) Fabric
1.In general, polyester is thin and light, high strength, good elasticity, wear resistant, suitable for mountaineering and
trekking campers choosing.Oxford cloth is thick, but relatively heavy, suitable for car camping or small groups making use of the large
tent.

2.From the waterproof coating looking, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) waterproof is good, but it will be hard, brittle, prone to
creasing or breaking in winter. PU (polyurethane) coating is not only overcome the deficiencies of PVC, but also waterproof
effect is very good.
3.Silver coated material can prevent ultraviolet ray, it is mainly used for leisure beach tents, awning tent, advertising tents, etc.
4.Now some of the more popular ultralight tent is coated with silicone (silicone) technology, lighter in weight a lot, but the
price will be a lot more expensive.
Silicone (silicone) technology is previous principle coated nylon and polyester fabric PU waterproof layer is different.

(2) Lining
About Inner tent, it usually has two roles, breathable insulation and anti-mosquito, previous considerations, it will usually use taffeta with good ventilation and there is a certain degree of thermal
insulation capacity.If you only need anti-mosquito, gauze is enough..
If 4 season tent or mountain tent, there is no doubt that all of taffeta composed by inner tent to keep warm, or if it is summer tent single layer for cooling ventilation considerations, almost all gauze.For 3 season tent, gauze and taffeta each part is a
pragmatic compromise choice.

(3) Groundsheet
The main function of groundsheet is waterproof, moistureproof and dustproof .Bottom material choice also determines the
grade of the tent.
PE coating Groundsheet: low price is the low end of the tent common groundsheet material, but after several fold easily broken.
PU coating Groundsheet: Durable & waterproof are much higher than expected at PE fabric, and higher cost performance.

(4) Fabric Specification
D: called Daniel numerical, denier = g/L * 9000 g for silk weight (g), L is the length of the thread (m), is used to denote the
yarn weight of woven into the fabric, gram weight of single yarn every 9000 meters is the fabric on the number of D.D before
the greater the number, the same area of the coarse cloth fiber also more heavy.Usually tents to choose 150 d and 70 d cattle

T: called taffeta (polyester taffeta), is a kind of imitation silk fabrics, used to make rainfly & Inner tent.It is light and strong.
Such as 190T, in front of the figure indicates one inch (2.545CM) and in the warp and weft of the root number (density)
summation . In fact, T is density units, digital T before the larger, then the same area more dense fiber cloth is also heavier.
