The camping season is once again upon us and so there will be many a tent for sale around this time. As far as family camping tents go the Columbia Cougar Flats ii Family Tent is an all round perfect choice for its price range.
Camping has always been popular with families and more so now than ever with the economical problems in the world. Young families can gather their stuff together and take a cheap family holiday in away.
When going on holiday accommodation can be pretty expensive especially if you have a large family. The biggest advantage of camping is the fact that you can take your accommodation with you. When you think about it you buy a good tent once and you can use it over and over which will save you a ton of money in the long run.
Columbia cougar flats ii has everything you need in a family tent. One of the things I look for when buying a tent is if it is easy to erect. Many a time I have been caught out in the rain trying to put a tent up or pack one away. Having a tent that is uncomplicated or user friendly will help speed things up.
The Columbia Cougar Flats ii Cabin Dome Tent goes up really easy and all of the poles are color coded to make the whole process a no brainer. You just put the colored marked pole into the corresponding colored marked hub.
This is a fairly large tent sleeping 6 people comfortably and if you really like your comfort you can even get 4 queen sized mattresses in there. If only two people were camping out you could each take a room and still have space leave a fold away table and chairs out throughout the holiday. There will be space for your food and drinks cooler, backpacks and all your other items with a ton of room to spare.
For strength and safety the poles on the roof are made out of fiber glass and the ones on the side are metal. This provides for a very stable tent that holds its shape well. There is a canopy that extends off the rain fly big enough to fit about 2 chairs under it and any muddy shoes or equipment you may have used. Perfect for keeping the inside of your tent clean. When you don't need the awning anymore you can just roll it right up and out of the way.
This Columbia Cougar Flats 2 Family Cabin Dome Tent features a unique air ventilation system to increase airflow in the tent as well as a rain protection system to keep you and your family dry while inside! The tent comes with a bottle of seam sealer however the seams are factory sealed so the sealer can be used as an additional weather proofing precaution.
If you are not a big fan of the noise made when walking around in a tent then you will be pleased to know that the Columbia Cougar Flats ii has a floor made of nylon. This cuts down on noise and is also less prone to holes.
As well as all the usual stuff this tent also comes with a very nice wheeled duffel bag for the whole thing to fit into. This bag has a hard plastic bottom and is a very nice touch.
