Top 10 Best 2 Person Backpacking Tent Of 2021 To Buy

Although it may look complicated, setting up a tent is quite easy. Regardless of the specs and type of two person backpacking tent you’re working with, the process of setting them up isn’t very different. Here’s how to assemble a two man tent.

The first thing to do when you want to set up 2 person backpacking tents is to find a suitable area to assemble them. The area must be wide since two-man tents tend to be large. The area should be flat and at a safe distance from your fire pit, grill, or water source. You need to ensure the ground isn’t wet and clear away sticks, rocks, and debris.

Once your floor space is ready, lay down your tarp in the direction you’ll like your tent to face – keep the door of the tent away from the direction of the wind. Lay the tent down properly with the bottom side on the ground.

Next, connect your tent poles according to the directions in the instruction manual that came with the tent. Aluminum poles are the most popular, but there are fiberglass poles too. Ensure you follow the manufacturer’s directions properly when fixing the tent poles. Some two person tents don’t require poles so you can skip this step if your tent falls into this category.

Once you’re done with the tent poles, lift the tent and connect it to your poles. You may need assistance from another person to do this to make it easier, especially if it is a double wall tent.

So you have put the tent up, but everything isn’t done yet. If you’re using a non freestanding tent, you need to stake the tent down to the ground or weights like rocks or logs. Attach your rainfly, use the guy lines, and you’re done!
