Ridge Tents for the Summer Festivals

Welcome to FestivalTents.info, the site where you can get a few tips on choosing a cheap ridge tent for the UK's summer arts and music festivals. The ridge tent is the classic tent design that was common with backpackers until the arrival of flexible lightweight poles and the now ubiquitous dome tent. The ridge tent is a very simple design and some of the more exrteme one man lightweight versions designed for alpine bivouacing rely on using the ski or walking poles that the trekker already has in their equipment. Two poles in the ground and a few tensioned guy ropes are all that is needed to hold up an inner tent and waterproof fly sheet. In some versions the two upright poles may be connected by another, longer 'ridge' pole for extra stability. A good ridge tent anchored securely into the ground should stand up to the weather quite well. The downsides with such a tent however are the weight of the rigid poles and the fact that, once tent pegs begin to come out from the ground, the tent on its own has no rigidity and will just collapse, unlike most single dome tents.
