The higher the quality of materials, the better the tent. Budget cube tents are financially attractive, but you will find they only perform well in certain types of weather conditions (i.e. only perfect summer weather), and their durability is usually called into question.

Depending on build quality, you can find cube tents that will withstand strong winds and torrential downpours, making them an ideal shelter for all four seasons. Weatherproofed fabric, taped seams, excellent stitching and heavy-duty zippers are all hallmarks of long-lasting, quality cube tents. The Camping Cube™ is unexpectedly roomy inside, with a 3 x 3m interior and a peak height of 11' 5". That translates to 100 square feet of floor space and a generous 6' 10" of both headroom and valence clearance. The three height settings can be adjusted in 3" increments. Some manufacturers will also produce multiple colors of their tent, which caters more to the glamping crowd, but is still a thoughtful offer that gives you some flexibility in choice.

The cube tents that attach to a canopy are done so with a series of hooks, ties, and stakes. The hooks will attach to the metal frame of the canopy, the ties attach to the sides or “legs” of the canopy, and the stakes are driven into the ground to give it a taught structure in case of high winds. Good quality cube tents are waterproof, but depending on the model and brand, you may have to further waterproof them by taping up the seams so no moisture leaks in. Inclusion of a waterproofing spray is also recommended if you intend to use cheaper models during winter and rain seasons. The examples of ice fishing models are much more durable than the standard brands, as they are designed for much harsher conditions.

The mesh designed windows and doors will keep out 90% of bugs (unfortunately it’s not no-see-um quality mesh), and a queen-size mattress fits it perfectly, allowing you enough room to walk around or add a small table to your living quarters.While camping is about spending time in nature, you don't need to sit on the ground. You can bring the Commander director's chairs. Designed with comfort and durability in mind, the director's chairs offer extra padding and support where you need it and space for drinks and essentials. A durable and strong aluminum frame will stand up to your athletic friends. Some cube tents offer connectability, giving you the option of creating extra living space by attaching tents together, which can accommodate more people if you are into social camping, or just give you more space to relax in.
