5 Tents with Hinged Doors – Best Options

In this article, we are going to cover the 5 best tents with hinged doors. I know that there are some people out there who might be thinking that focusing on the door of a tent is a bit excessive or nit-picky.

To each his own, of course, but the door of a tent is one of the most important features. A tent could be perfect in every possible way, but if you don’t like something about the door… well, then it’s ruined.

Hinged doors are amazing because they make getting in and out of a tent effortless. Especially if you have a baby that you need to carry, or children constantly running in and out of the tent.

Without further ado, let’s get into it.

Tents with Hinged Doors – Top 5

#1 Coleman WeatherMaster

Our first Coleman hinged door tent is the Weathermaster, which comes in two sizes, for 6 or 10 people, and the color cream and brown.

The 6-person tent has measurements of 11 x 9 feet, a peak height of 6’8”, weighs 14.5kg, and you can comfortably fit two queen-sized airbeds inside with room to spare for your gear.

As for the 10 person tent, it has dimensions of 17 x 9 feet (W x D), the same peak height of 6’8”, and weighs 14kg. There’s enough room inside to fit three queen sized-air beds, and this tent also comes with a room divider for extra privacy.

Both tents are tall enough that anyone can comfortably stand and move around inside easily, and they are made out of 75T polyester taffeta with a PU coating of 450mm.

The main difference between the two tents is that the 6-person one has a separate and floorless screen room where you can lounge and relax without worrying about insects because of the mesh. Come rain or shine, it provides even more ventilation while keeping you protected from getting wet or the sun’s heat.

The second big difference is that the ten person tent has two hinged doors, one on each side. This is really useful, especially if you have the room divider up because that way each room has its own door. Both of the tents have very large D-style doors that make it effortless to get in and out of the tent, even if you are holding something like a baby.

Coleman has something called a WeatherTec system, which means two things; firstly, that their tents have been tested in a rain and wind room to ensure that their tents can withstand strong winds, from all directions, of up to 35+ MPH without ending up with any rips or tears in the fabric or damaged poles. The rain room’s test is for over 35 gallons of water to rain onto the tents, and if more than two tablespoons of water manage to leak it the tent ultimately fails the test.

The other thing the WeatherTec system means is that the tents have patented welded floors and inverted seams, making it more weather resistant by hiding needle holes on the inside. It also means that their tents have been engineered with a better, stronger, even more wind resistant frame due to the redesigned poles and guy-out lines. Even the zipper cuffs have weather resistant fabric, adding more protection on the doors.

The rainfly is made of 75-denier polyester taffeta and it has fully-taped seams and Velcro attachments.

These hinge door tents have storage pockets sewn into the side of the tents’ walls so that you can stash small items neatly and keep them off of the floor. They also have a convenient E-port enabling you to run an extension cord inside for electrical power.

Angled windows improve air circulation because you can keep them open when it’s raining and water won’t leak in.

Setting up this tent is really easy to do, and can be done in around 20 minutes. The color-coded and shock-corded poles, pin-and-ring design, and InstaClip attachments are what help make it really simple and quick.

It’s also easy to pack these tents back into their carry bags when it is time to end your camping trip.

I do have one complaint about the stakes the tent comes with, though. They seem plastic and I opted to swap them for some long metal ones I already had because I did not trust the ‘plastic’ ones because they can bend easily and come out from the ground.

#2 Core Extended Dome Tent

This tent with swinging door by Core is called the Extended Dome, and you can probably see why. It comes in two colors; bright orange with grey or wine red and grey.

It has a roomy interior of 16 x 9ft and a center height of 6ft so there is plenty of room for eight people and even the tallest campers can enjoy spending time inside this tent.

Included with the tent you get the fiberglass tent poles, rainfly, steel stakes, and a carry bag so that you have everything you need for the simple assembly.

The tent is made with 68D polyester with a 600mm PU rating. Its taped seams also help with keeping water out.

There’s also an adjustable venting system so that you can have the perfect amount of fresh air coming in.

The mesh ceiling is brilliant for several reasons. To start with, it makes this tent perfect for hot conditions because without the rainfly on there is a lot of air circulation. Also, the ceiling and vents work together so that cool air can be drawn in from the vents while hot air rises and escapes through the meshed ceiling.
