Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the various sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the water to pool on the roof. The most straightforward dome tent should have a rectangular floor, slanted walls a couple of poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Because of their construction, it is usually considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately specifically for the Fly Creek 1 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Dyneema Composite Fabrics, 100% rainproof, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
