You might be wondering if it is time for you to get a new aluminium outdoor gazebo. The answer to when the time is right is when your tent is no longer a viable shelter for you when camping. In many cases, a tent can be repaired enough to make it a useful shelter again, but if your tent cannot be repaired so easily then it may be time to replace it. If your tent simply won’t stay waterproof then it is definitely time to replace it.

Ask yourself first if it is realistic for you to fix or repair something on your existing tent. Use your best judgment, small holes can be patched up. Small cracks in a pole can be repaired. The waterproofing features can also be fixed. I wrote a lot more on waterproofing your tent in this article. If it’s more trouble then it’s worth and you think it might be time then getting a new good quality tent will be a good choice for your next camping trip.
