I often get the question, "Could I save money by buying a tent instead of renting it?" There isn't one clear answer to this question, but here are some things to keep in mind as you make that decision:

It's better to rent a tent if:

You only use it a few times a year
You only use it for a short period of time
You're looking for a hassle-free experience

It's sometimes more affordable to buy a tent if:

You want to keep it up for a long period of time
You use it many times per year
You do not need a tent that is in good condition. An older tent is less expensive the a new or nearly new one

However, there are many hidden costs of owning a tent:

Labor for installation, removal and transportation
Storage of the tent while you're not using it
Washing the tent when it gets dirty
Repairing the tent
Replacing the tent when it wears out
Liability for storm damage to the tent
