About Our Products

There are plenty of tents from many different manufacturers on the market, and it can be tiring to sift through all these on the search of the one that suits your needs best. But just as much, you need a product that is affordable and of a good quality. Let’s give you some facts about our family camping tents, backpacking tents, party tents, kids tents and pet shelters, and why they are worth buying.

Quality Materials for Convenience and Longer Life

The materials used by Gigatent are more durable and last longer than most manufacturers so that you are guaranteed to have long years of joy with your family camping tents and party tents.

Twin Track Zipper

An excellent example for our quality is the Twin Track Zipper that Gigatent uses for most tent doors: This door zipper design consists in 2 zippers for the door, a horizontal and a slightly curving vertical zipper.

Using a Twin Track Zipper has two advantages: Firstly, it minimizes the curve to the vertical zipper and therefore is less likely to fail than a straight one. And secondly, it allows for a larger doorway that is easier to enter.

To make it easy to handle and ensure a long life of your zippers, Gigatent chose to use only nickel plated zipper sliders on their camping tents as these slide easier and last longer. Their zippers are also larger in size than most other manufacturers’.

Coating

Gigatents’ family camping tents are also more resistant to rain than most other tents on the market, since the coating applied to their fabrics is thicker, and it is thickest on the rainflys where the most force hits the tent.

Whilst most manufacturers’ tents come with a coating of 450 to 600 mm on both tent and rainflys, Gigatent uses a 600 to 800 mm coating on their tent bodies and 800 to 1200 mm on the rainflys. These measurements refer to the height of a column of water that a tents’ fabric will support before the rain goes through.

A thinner coating will let the water come through fairly quickly, whereas our thicker coating will prevent rain more effectively from entering your tent, meaning in a Gigatent you will stay dry and comfortable even in heavy rain.

Poles

For most large family tents, Gigatent uses 19mm steel poles which are larger in diameter than most other manufacturers. Since they are cable corded together and not chain corded, the possibility of breakage is lower so that you won’t need replacements easily.

The backpacking tents have poles of a 7000 series aircraft aluminium. These are more resistant to cold and cracking than fiberglass poles and are lighter, thus keeping the weight you have to carry when backpacking as low as possible.

Easy-to-use and Generously Spaced Design

Gigatents’ family camping tents are designed to give you maximum interior volume. They have combined the straight walls of cabin tents with the free standing nature of dome tents to give you the best of both tent designs. With Gigatent, you can now own two things in one package: a screen house and a tent.

Some family camping tents even offer additional space and comfort with a combo room. This is a perfect place for storing your wet gear or your luggage without endangering your sleeping space. It can also be used as an extra sleeping area for additional campers, or as a place to get together.

Gigatents’ backpacking tents are specifically designed to provide maximum living space without weighing too much, making them great backpacking equipment that won’t put too much strain on you when having to carry it. The pin and ring attachments used for the poles are easy to replace should you require it.

All of Gigatents products are quick and easy to set up. The free standing nature of most family tents makes them easier to position in a campsite, whilst less required staking means less time during set up. Even the large screen houseS or canopy tents can be set up with just a few people, some as little as two.
