Automatic tents are quick-assembly structures that can be set up in 1-2 minutes without assistance. Such models are relevant for those who often change places during travel and are forced to constantly assemble and disassemble temporary shelter. It is also a great option for short camping, fishing or hunting. Quick-mount tents are most often designed for the warm season, but there are models that can be used not only in spring or autumn, but also in winter.
When choosing an automatic tent, it is worth considering not only the installation speed, but also other characteristics:
Water resistance. The minimum figure for the summer model should be at least 2000-3000 mm w.c. If you plan to use the tent in spring or autumn when there is more rainfall, then it is better to choose a model with a water resistance of at least 5000 mm w.st. In this case, the water resistance of the bottom should be greater - 5000-10000 mm w.st.
Material quality. The fabric for the top awning should not only repel moisture, but also not stretch over time. For the floor, the ideal option is a reinforced material that protects against moisture and is distinguished by reliability and wear resistance.
Dimensions and weight. As a rule, automatic structures are quite large both folded and assembled. The only exceptions are models for fishing and hunting. Also, due to the frame, such structures weigh quite a lot. However, there are also lightweight options exclusively for recreation in the summer.
We have analyzed the market and selected the best automatic tents with high water resistance, quality and reliability. The rating includes models from well-known brands that have received good reviews from customers.
Top 10 Best Automatic Tents
10 JUNGLE CAMP Easy Tent 3
Country: Russia
Average price: 4 400 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
A brand that produces some of the most budget tents on the market. LANYU products can also be added here, however, despite the huge number of reviews and the rather high rating of its automatic models, there are too often mentions of insufficiently firmly stitched seams in the comments.But at UNGLE CAMP, again, judging by the reviews, such misfires are extremely rare. The only thing that some buyers complain about is the lack of wind protection and the modest water resistance of the awning (1000 mm w. St). However, this tent is not for extreme hikes and it fulfills all the properties declared by the manufacturer.
Briefly about the characteristics. Single-layer tent for three people, which is suitable for short hikes or fishing trips. The water resistance of the reinforced polyethylene floor is 10,000 mm, the polyester awning is impregnated with firmly glued seams, there are two ventilation windows that prevent condensation from accumulating on the walls. It is equipped not only with internal pockets, but also with a mosquito net on the door.
9 TREK PLANET Moment 2
Country: Russia
Average price: 4 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
"TREK PLANET Moment 2" is an excellent automatic 2-person tent for a short outdoor recreation. Installs in seconds and folds quickly and easily. There are 4 ventilation windows along the perimeter of the tent, which provide good air circulation and prevent the formation of condensate. The awning is made of polyester with water-repellent impregnation. For greater tightness, the seams are taped with a special tape.
The main advantage of the Trek Planet Moment 2 tourist tent is, of course, the price. However, the benefits don't end there. Compared to other tents in the ranking, this model is ideal for hiking. It weighs only 1.6 kg and is easy to carry even over long distances.At the same time, it is important to understand that it is not suitable for long hikes, since there is only one layer, and in cold weather it will be uncomfortable to sleep in it.
8 NORFIN Hake 4
Country: Latvia
Average price: 18 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
This is a 4-seater quick-assembly tent with the most thoughtful ventilation system. The air circulates well inside due to two entrances with vestibules. They can be kept open as the openings are protected by a mosquito net. One vestibule has windows. There are also two ventilation windows under the dome, so it will not be stuffy inside even on a hot day. According to customer reviews, sleeping in the NORFIN Hake 4 tent is very comfortable, there is enough air and no condensation forms.
There is more than enough space inside due to the special hexagonal shape, so you can easily accommodate yourself and fold things here. The design is very easy and fast. However, there is one important point here. Unlike most automatic tents, the vestibule in the Norfin Hake 4 model is assembled separately using one frame arc. This increases the setup time of the tent from one minute to two, which, according to buyers, is not critical.
7 Talberg Gaza 2
Country: Germany
Average price: 14 000 rub.

6 Greenell Dingle 3 V2
Country: Ireland
Average price: 23 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
"Dingle 3 V2" is the best 3 person tent from Greenell. The design combines a camping and tourist model. It is quite spacious, but, at the same time, does not require effort during installation. You can put up a tent in two minutes, and this does not require special skills - even a beginner can handle it. The inner tent is attached to the outer tent, so if you put it together in the rain, the bedroom will stay dry. The mechanism of the tent is designed for 1000 openings / closings, which is 15 years of active use.

5 Lotus Cube 3 compact eco
Country: Russia
Average price: 17 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
A well-known manufacturer among fishing enthusiasts for its cubic shapes with average market prices and good product quality. Here we get a quick-assembly frame, the presence of a windproof snow skirt, a very modest assembled size - 95 * 20 cm and reinforced fasteners with arcs. It is possible to improve the basic design by adding a waterproofing bottom and a light insulated inner awning, which is simply attached to the frame with hooks. You can also buy a waterproof one, which increases thermal insulation and allows you to feel comfortable in a tent in inclement weather.
In general, the reviews are not bad, in addition to simple and quick assembly, they note the lightness, spaciousness of the tent and its quite decent wind and moisture protection, although the density of the tent is low - 1000mm. Unfortunately, there are also negative comments from buyers who came across defective models with unevenly stitched seams or divergent zippers, so we advise you to carefully check the equipment you purchase.
4 Greenell Howth 4 V2
Country: Ireland
Average price: 33 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
This is a 4 person automatic tent from one of the leading camping equipment brands. Like other quick-assembly structures, the Hout 4 V2 model is assembled in just 1-2 minutes. Moreover, even a beginner can cope with this task. The outer tent is placed separately, and only then the inner tent is attached. The space here is divided into a large bedroom where you can stand up to your full height, and a roomy vestibule where you can easily put things. Inside there is everything you need: pockets, a flashlight mount, hanging shelves.
The Grinell Hout 4 V2 model is suitable for hiking in the summer, since the water resistance of the awning here is small - only 3000 mm w.st. At the same time, the bottom is more reliable and you can put up a tent even in swampy areas. The floor is made of terpauling with a water resistance of 10000 mm w.st. However, this material is quite heavy and adds weight. The structure weighs 9.3 kg, which makes the tent unsuitable for hiking.
3 FHM Alioth 4
Country: Russia
Average price: 33 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
The spacious 4-person tourist tent "FHM Alioth 4" is recognized as the best in its class due to its optimal dimensions and wide functionality. The walls here are almost straight, and the height of the ceiling allows you to stand at full height. At the same time, the design is resistant even to strong winds. It is securely fixed on the surface with the help of pegs and braces and withstands wind gusts up to 50 km/h. All seams are sealed for rain protection.
According to customer reviews, the tent really withstands severe weather well. The mounts here are very reliable, and the arcs do not bend with gusts of wind. The awning itself is made of high quality materials, so it is not afraid of rain, wind, or mechanical damage. The only downside is the small bedroom. Despite the fact that the manufacturer claims that four people can be accommodated inside, in reality only three people can comfortably rest here.
2 Maverick Mobile Premium
Country: Russia. South Korea
Average price: 18 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Next in line are models from perhaps the most famous brand in Russia today. At least Maverick is praised for its quality by both experts and seasoned tourists.Mobile Premium is not just an updated version of the line with an awning and bottom increased to 5000 mm of water resistance, but also one of the most compact and lightest among the tents produced by the company. Only high-quality materials are used: the frame is made of durable fiberglass, and the floor, awning, skirt and inner tent are made of 75D POLYESTER TAFFETA, the seams are welded.
Even the most inexperienced traveler can handle the quick-assembly frame on four arcs in less than a minute. And in addition to high quality, elementary assembly and lightness (4.6 kg), it is worth noting excellent wind resistance due to reinforced braces, a fairly spacious vestibule, ventilation holes in the tent dome with a protective apron and equipping both entrances of the inner tent with a mosquito net. It's nice that the kit was supplied with a repair kit.
1 Maverick 4 Season Thermal
Country: Russia. South Korea
Average price: 53 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
And one more Maverick tent, which deservedly won the first place in the rating. A novelty that replaced the super popular 4 Season, which has already been discontinued. The changes are small, but there are. There are now four windows, improved ventilation of the dome has appeared, the equipment has been updated with a plastic hammer, and the floor of the inner tent this time is made of 150D polyester with a water resistance of 10,000 mm. Separately, you can buy a roof cape with a hole for a pipe, which will create additional wind protection, stability and save you from UV rays, and purchase a wear-resistant ordinary or insulated internal floor.
At the heart of the tent is the Rapidex Quick Erect System, already familiar to many, which allows you to set it up in a couple of minutes.Buyers praise the model for its excellent quality, good protective properties and unique multifunctionality: it can be used as a tent, camping or winter tent with the possibility of using a heat exchanger. The only thing that can upset is the rather high cost.
