Take your hiking hobby to the next level by renting a hiking tent!
The snow has melted and the camping season has begun. We've been preparing for this and the range of tents has grown as summer approaches. However, tents are not just for summer use and in the text below you can find out more about the range of our tents and what they are suitable for. We have tunnel tents, dome tents and pyramid tents, for two person and three person use for rent. . For a group of four people, it is recommended and convenient to take two tents for extra comfort.
So why are there so many tents and so many different types?
The same rule applies to camping as to any other form or way of trekking, one piece of equipment is not always the best fit for all use. As another example, one pair of hiking boots may not be the best for all conditions and terrain, but you can still get the job done with basic safety. One is always better than the other in different conditions, terrain and depending on the duration of the hike. By renting, you can optimise the right tent for every hike, whether you're trekking by a bike, packraft or traditionally on foot.
You can compare the tents in more detail in the table below and you can also find a description of these tents below, as well as in the rentals subsection of our website. To see the full selection of tents, please visit our rental site for dome tents and tunnel tents. To rent a tent for yourself, send an email to info@talesntents.fi.
