This is all a matter of personal preference, however, there are a few distinct benefits from these designs that you can’t get from standard models. The first benefit lies with the east of assembly. Instead of coming with a myriad of different poles of various sizes that are difficult to put together, these designs come with one center pole that the polyester fabric hangs from. These designs often have a lot more headroom and a larger footprint than standard wall models, and their larger size often comes at a much lower price point. The downside, however, is that they typically aren’t made for extreme camping conditions because some designs are just not as water resistant.
