Tentipi®: It is not difficult to make ultra-light tents. The hard thing is to make them both light and strong and to know when you should choose a stronger, heavier material/design in order to get a product that really lives up to demands.

Analyse the fabrics and other components and decide if they will live up to the stresses and strains caused by challenging weather conditions etc. Many manufacturers do not succeed with the tough challenge of finding a good balance between weight and strength.
