A Deep Dive into the Waterproofing Technology of Automatic Tents

Tents are great (even better alternatives to that company party you were invited to but don’t actually want to attend) when it comes to being outdoors, but rain can really dampen the fun if your tent isn’t very good at keeping out water. Which is why it’s super important when buying a tent that you get something waterproof, especially if you’re considering one of those automatic tents that open and close themselves. At Sansu, we ensure that our tents will stay dry and sturdy regardless the weather. Making something waterproof isn’t as simple as adding a plastic cover to the top of a tent. It’s a matter of deploying intelligent materials and creative methods to prevent droplets from seeping inside. When you purchase automatic tent at Sansu, you can rest assured that you have a great item that is very well-made and has all the smart technologies necessary to keep both your person and your things dry in rain, wind, or even heavy weather. Let’s take a closer look at how our tents are so good at staying dry, and why that matters for people who sell tents as well. 

Knowledge of Waterproofing Materials in Automatic Tent by Wholesale Buyer

You might picture, when you think of tents at all, a large piece of cloth stretched out over some poles. But waterproofing that cloth isn’t easy. From Sansu, we use high-quality materials which are not easy water to penetrate. As opposed to long-haired materials, these types will generally have a tighter weave – the threads are all packed together. But that alone isn’t enough. We apply special coating to the fabric. The most common coating is polyurethane, because it gives the automatic camping tent fabric a smooth feel and prevents water from being absorbed. There’s also silicone, the best of all when it comes to keeping water out and making the fabric stronger and lighter. Think about what happens when you pour water onto a leaf. The water rolls out rather than being absorbed. That is what these coatings are for the tent fabric. 

But tents are not merely flat cloth. They have seams where fabric pieces come together, and these seams can be susceptible to water leaks. To address this, Sansu includes seam taping, which involves sealing the seams with durable waterproof tape on the inside of the tent. With such a slight improvement, it problematically impairs the worker’s ability to block water from being squeezed through the little holes punched into it by stitching. Wholesale customers need to know about these materials and techniques because it’s how you get tents that last longer, run into fewer problems with customers. If you sell tents that leak, no one will buy from you again. Our materials are also mold and UV resistant, so the tents remain good after they have been outside for a while. 

Some tents also feature extra layers, such as a rainfly, an additional cover that goes on top of the main tent for added protection. These rainflies are made with the same high-quality materials and attention to design that we build into everything and use waterproof fabrics, coatings and treatments so you won’t get a drop of moisture, even in heavy rains. For wholesale clients, this means presenting customers with a full suite of products that work in concert to keep them dry. Selecting automatic tents from Sansu, you receive high-quality items composed of intelligent materials and crafted with care according to proven techniques allowing to exclude water. Which is good for your customers and good for your business.  

How Auto Tent Waterproofing Process Provides Value and Durability to Users? 

One of the reasons automatic tents are so popular is that they open and close quickly, which can drastically reduce time and effort. But an automatic tent 4 person introduces waterproofing challenges. The moveable parts need to remain dry and sturdy or else the place you’re staying will crash in the middle of a storm. Sansu’s proprietary waterproof technology helps address this, thanks to a combination of specially treated fabric and intelligent designs. Our fabrics are waterproof and flexible, they bend easily without cracking or breaking! Suffice it to say that automatic or so-called “instant” tents get folded and unfolded a zillion times, and there are some materials that would become prematurely shabby if they weren’t up for the job. 

What’s more, the automatic frames and joints are covered with rust-proof material. Rust can develop where water lands on metal parts that are not protected, and they can cause the tent to stop operating smoothly. Sansu makes sure these parts will last by top coating them to repel water and protect the metal beneath. That’s the tent not only lasting for years, but it also keeps strong if you use it in wet places or during storms. 

This app is also very user-friendly. Picture pitching a tent in the rain. It is not fun if your tent leaks or the fabric feels heavy and soggy. Thanks to Sansu’s waterproofing technology, the interior of the tent remains dry at all times Users are never afraid of ever getting wet with this warning. The fabrics dry quickly if they do get wet, so packing is a breeze. And our tents feature vents that would allow for air to flow through without letting water in. This prevents the interior from becoming stuffy or damp. 

And, occasionally, people are concerned that waterproof coatings can cause fabric to become stiff or loud. We address this by using soft coatings that move quietly along with the fabric. The Sansu automatic tent is hands down the most reliable and durable tent we have had, but that doesn't even begin to tell the whole story - rather only half of it. When you open or close a Sansu automatic tent you experience smooth(gradual) easy movement with no resistance, stiffness or stubbornness that so many other products tend to show during operation. It’s all these details that add up to a tent that is easier to use by me, and should last longer in good condition. 

Why Automatic Tent Waterproofing Is Better Than The Traditional Ways? 

There are many things to consider when we discuss tents, and one of the most important is how effectively they do or don’t keep water out. Automatic tents have revolutionised the way we think about waterproofing and they are quite superior to conventional tents. Conventional tents are typically made of basic waterproof fabric that can block water for a short period before leaking if the rain is heavy or prolonged. These tents would generally require additional covers or sprays to remain waterproof, which can also be difficult to work with and not as durable. However, there are also automatic tents such as those by Sansu that prohibit water entry much more efficiently with the help of unique materials and clever designs. 

How to select waterproof automatic tents for bulk order? 

If you are in the market for many automatic tents at once (a school camp, say, or some sort of corporate outing) a quick pop-up tent can also be crucial to keeping your charges dry and comfortable. Finding the best waterproof tents is tough, but there are a couple of simple things to look for. When you’re purchasing in bulk, it makes sense to go with a trusted brand like Sansu because their tents are proven to perform well under a wide variety of conditions. Here’s what to look for to pick the best ones. 

First and foremost, look at what waterproof rating the tents have. This is typically listed as a number, known as “water column height,” that indicates the amount of water pressure the fabric can withstand before it starts to leak. For instance, with a rating of 2000 mm, the fabric should be able to withstand up to 2000 millimeters of water before it begins to leak. For heavy rain, you’re looking for at least 2000 mm and up then tents. Sansu’s automatic tents are sold with transparent waterproof ratings, so you can quickly identify the best one for yourself. 

Next, check into the tent’s seam construction. And not even the most luxurious fabric will save you if water seeps through a seam. Check that the tents have taped or sealed seams. A lot of tents will advertise this in the description. Sealed seams are made by applying a waterproof tape over the stitching inside the tent. This additional step prevents rain from seeping in through pinprick holes sewn into the fabric. Sansu tents are known for their  taped seams - that means they get set up and you’ll actually stay dry in crummy weather. 

Choose Automatic Tents with Enhanced Waterproofing 

By getting the most value, I mean you'll want automatic tents that keep water outside and last for a long time (while keeping their usefulness as novice-friendly lightweight options!). Serious waterproofing is one of the best investments you can make after investing in tents. Sansu know this and make automatic tents that are smart enough to add value to your cash. 

For one, it means the tent fabric is more durable and will serve you longer. Some bargain tents may even lost their waterproof layer after just a handful of uses or from too much sun exposure. The fabrics on Sansu’s tents have special coatings that won’t wear away. This is to say that the tents remain waterproof for a number of seasons even if used strenuously. This is cost-effective as there will be no need to change the tents frequently. 

Second, there is the value a tent’s construction. Sansu’s tents feature taped seams and waterproof zippers that prevent water from seeping where you wouldn’t expect it. These are features designed to prevent damage to the tent and keep you dry. Although you may use tent footprints as an extra guard layer, don’t get it if the water leaks inside, since a moisture build-up may weaken and force fabric or frame to tear up breaking the tent sooner. And so, it’s these little details that you can pay attention to and your tent is going to last longer and last better.
