Interactive Table tents
Filed Under tents | Leave a Comment
Table tent printing has now been a long time standard practice for restaurants and bars. They help food and drink shops gain extra sales by promoting special products, new offers and deserts by displaying them in full color table tents. Now, some innovative people out there have decided to improve upon this concept further by using new kinds of table tents. These new breed of promotional materials are called Interactive table tents. Why go Interactive?
Interactivity is already in the rage in a lot of fields, and it is only natural for it to come in table tent printing. Imagine waiting for your initial order in a restaurant. Of course you can practice the fine art of conversation with your “dinner mates” but eventually there will come a time when you might run out of things to say. Table tents usually plug the boredom by making people interested in the special menus and deserts.
Now, imagine if you have an interactive table tent in that situation? People can entertain themselves by playing with them as they wait for the order. It might become a conversation piece for them. Also, since only a few restaurants do this, you will immediately be marked in their memory, while informing themselves in the process about your special menus. So, your customers get entertained and you get recognition as well as a good promotional opportunity.
Interactive Table tent ideas So, you now know that interactive table tent printing is a good idea. But you may ask, how do you really go about it? What constitutes interactive table tents anyway? Well, as a broad definition, interactive table tents are table tents that engage your customers to do an activity for entertainment or for informational purposes. Below are a few common examples.
1. Puzzle table tents: Puzzle table tents are the most common and sometimes they are usually aimed for kids, but adults can use them as well. These table tents are like those fun pages in newspapers and magazines. You can have paper games like “spot the difference” or those line mazes for the younger kids. For more mature customers, some restaurants add in crosswords and other such word games. Of course, all these games are themed. They relate to a certain special menu that is on offer in the restaurant.
2. Toy Table tents: Toy table tents are basically the table tents that can really be played around with. For example, you can have a toy windmill that displays your menu within its panes. You can have “pop up” table tents that promote that special desert. People will be so amused and engaged that they might not even notice the long wait for their order.
3. Holiday themed table tents: Also there are the holiday themed table tents that are interactive. For example, in Christmas time you can have a cut out Santa with his big bag. People can then “open” the bag and discover your yuletide menu offerings. In Valentine’s day, you can have special paper flower table tents that people can take with them or give to each other.
All in all, there are actually a lot of ways to go about doing an interactive table tent. The only limitation really is your own imagination. However, as you can see, its impact can really benefit your business. The Interactive table tent is a very innovative and unique idea that you should really think of when you start your own table tent printing campaign.

Filed Under tents | Leave a Comment
I am no longer interested in a tent with fiberglass poles - I’ve had 2 of them get beat do splinters from relentless wind. Are there any manufacturers out there that still make simple small tents with the metal poles?

Camping with the whole family in the wild outdoors can be so much fun. It gives you the chance to truly experience nature and wildlife. It is also an excellent way to spend some quality time with all the family members. Obviously, you cannot expect to have motels to rent in a camping site. And though it is accepted that roughing it out is all part of camping, it definitely does not mean that you can spend the night under the trees, gazing at the stars (however romantic it may sound!). This is why you should invest in camping tents made from high-quality fabrics and supported by poles and stakes.
The Eureka Copper Canyon 1512 Tent is a 9-pole, cabinet style tent that can fit up to 12 people. It has a floor size of 15 x 12 feet. As it covers such a large area, you can even fit in cots into the tent. The tent frame is made from a combination of steel and fiberglass. This durable, freestanding frame comes with clips, pole sleeves, and ring and pin assembly. A detachable awning is provided on the front of the tent to offer shelter in a sunny outdoor spot. This camping tent even has an extra awning pole to increase the stability of the awning.
If you want some added privacy, the Eureka Copper Canyon 1512 Tentalso offers an option of creating up to two rooms by means of a removable divider curtain., It has 2 large side-opening doors for private entry and exit to the rooms. They have 8 zippers with water proof zipper covers. You can also star gaze through the zippered windows, which provide excellent ventilation.
For some good old camping fun in the great outdoors, Eureka! family tents are the ones to pick! Take your family and friends along with you and get closer to nature.

I know fire can be a risk, but if you don’t burn down your tent — is a candle safe to use as a heat source? I know propane & gas heaters can kill you with CO2 poisoning. I’m going to be climbing Pike’s Peak this winter, and want to use something simple to keep my small backpackers tent warm at night in -20 temps.

Large Family Camping Tents - Exciting Family Experience Guaranteed
Filed Under tents | Leave a Comment
There is nothing to beat staying with your immediate and of course your extended family. If all of were to go to a resort, well, its as good as staying home. The walls of the resort would create barriers, and the fun would be lost.
However, if you go camping along with all members of the family, it would certainly be more fun, and you can renew the bonds that fell into disuse and grew more distant from each other.
Now if you were all staying together in a large tent surrounded by nature, you would time to talk to each other, enjoy each other’s company, and of course, you can taste food cooked by your aunt, grandma, uncle or whoever. That itself makes it exciting.
So off you go shopping for a tent say for 8 to ten members. Well, America is known very well for its inventiveness. One good guy thought up making a tent that is water proof, rodent proof, and generally make lives easier at camp, and it can take about 8 to 10 members. That’s good for the nice weather.
What about rough weather? Well you the make called “Kelty Manta” should suit you. Excepting for winter, this one has incorporated special designs forall weather conditions, be it spring, summer or the fall. No leakages of water or moisture either from the roof of the tent, or seepage from the bottom, has two doors, yes, two door, and an excellent ventilation system.
If you and your family members want a touch of luxury while camping in the wild, then the Columbia Gardner Peak Ten should be your choice. It is a large tent, and is made of a strong polyester blend to make it totally waterproof, again has two doors, it can be set up quickly or dismantled quickly. It also features a small private cordoned area for changing clothes.
Indeed, if you were shopping around for tents, take the advice of the owner. He would have sold at least half a dozen or more of these tents, and depending upon the terrain, he would recommend the right one for you. If there are some more features than what you want, we say go for it. A little addition here or there, will certainly make it more useful, and yes, you can use it for a long time, or as is said, for many a summer useful it would be!
When you do camping with a large family, apart from the usual stuff, you need to carry a large enough First Aid Kit with your, or many smaller ones. Be aware, and carry some of the medication that you or members of your family are using so that you are not unaware of the precautions you have to take. Ask each member or head of the family to carry their medication in a little more quantity. First aid kits should contain all the stuff that may be required. Your nearby St John’s Ambulance can guide you on that.

Ultralight Backpacking Tent/ Tips on Choosing an Ultralight Backpacking Tent
Filed Under tents | Leave a Comment
When choosing an ultralight backpacking tent there are several factors to take into consideration but I think that a couple of the main ones are obviously size and weight. Ok so you want the lightest tent you can find simply because you have to carry it around with you all day long, so the lighter the better. But don’t forget that you also have to sleep in it, often in conditions that are far from ideal e.g. wind, rain, snow, and anything else that the weather can throw at you.
There’s no point in buying the smallest lightest tent possible only to find that there is no room to put all your gear, so it’s left outside in the rain. On the other hand you do not want to be lugging around a heavy 2/3 man tent with you.
Your tent is often going to be the only thing between you and the elements, so it’s vital to choose the right one for you and your style of backpacking. There are many ultralight backpacking tents on the market, some just large enough for a person to lie down in, and some so small that you can’t sit up in them. I have used these tents on several occasions and found them fine for short weekend trips especially if like me you carry an ultralight tarp and walking pole so you can erect a handy sized awning over the front of the tent to give you some extra room for cooking etc.
Ok so you may think that taking a tarp and tent is a bit silly but it only adds slightly to your overall weight and its well worth it, and most people carry at least one walking pole on a hiking trip these days. Also if you are blessed with some fine weather you don’t even need to put up your tent but just use your tarp on its own.
On my last backpacking trip around Dartmoor I was gone for 19 days and I had with me a small one man tent and this was absolutely fine for the type of trip I had planned, just stopping one night in any one place. But during the first week I had trouble with an old knee injury and had to find a campsite to stay for a few nights (something I try not to do as I prefer wild camping when possible.) This became very uncomfortable after a couple of nights as I found that instead of packing equipment away after use it was easier to leave it in the tent which soon became very cluttered leaving less room for me and making the tent feel even smaller. So remember that a extra few ounces for a slightly larger tent can make all the difference when it comes to comfort.
Sadly I suppose the biggest consideration when choosing a backpacking tent is going to be the cost. All I can say is to buy the best one you can with your budget and remember that you are buying something that hopefully you will have for a long time, so make sure that:
- It fits you
- You feel comfortable in it
- It’s up to the job you want it for
- Lastly whatever tent you decide to buy in the end don’t leave it in its bag at the back of the cupboard,
Then all you have to do is get it out, use it and enjoy it!

For businesses looking to add to their trade show and exhibit equipment, a wonderful instant canopy or tent is often at the top of the list. There are some terms and features of portable canopies that you will want to become familiar with in order to obtain the pop up tent or instant canopy that will best meet your needs. Pop up tent A pop up tent is simply a tent that has been constructed with a framework such that after it is removed from its carry case it springs into shape on its own. An instant canopy works on the same basic framework design as the tent, but the tent has full or half walls while the canopy often does not. These types of canopies are also known as portable canopies, because of their ease of set up and strike.
Water resistant This simply means that the instant canopy or tent has been made using a material upon which water will ball up and roll off rather than soak through. This is a very important feature if you will be using your tent or canopy outdoors. Fabrics that can be waterproof have been coated with a waterproofing substance, such as polyurethane, silicone elastomer, or polyvinyl chloride, to name a few. Commercial grade canopy A commercial instant canopy, unlike a canopy used by consumers, is one that is made from the strongest materials to withstand the wear and tear brought about by repeated use over time. You can expect a commercial grade canopy framing to be made out of aluminum or steel. Aluminum is lightweight and strong, and thus works well when the instant canopy will be portable.
Steel is also used for canopy and tent frameworks, and this sturdy material makes an excellent choice if your tent will be used in outdoor venues with variable weather conditions. A commercial canopy’s areas that will take the greatest stress, the seams of the structure, will be reinforced and double stitched for strength. Denier Denier is a term used to describe the density of fibers used in making fabrics. The greater the density, the stronger the fabric, so you will want to check this number for any tent or instant canopy that you purchase. Stylings Portable canopies are available made with water- and fire-proof materials in different styles. While a canopy usually has a roof and legs, a tent usually has a roof with some type of walls. Half walls are also available, and any of these walls can be added to portable canopies. Other additional stylings that can be added to a canopy include the valance, which is an additional layer that hangs from the roof, and can come in a wide variety of colors to mix and match with your tent or portable canopies.
