When you are deciding what style pavilion you want there are several things you should take into account:

•  Are you looking for a personal tent, or are you a family, large group (barony, etc.), or a merchant in need of a larger amount of space? If you are a family, couple, or an individual, you may not need as much space as a merchant needs.

•  Will you be setting up your tent by yourself, or will you have people available to assist in the set-up? If you are traveling alone, you may want a tent that is easy for one or two people to set up, rather than a large marquee, since they tend to require more people.

•  What size is the vehicle you will be using to carry your tent and poles to events? Do you also have a trailer that could carry a larger pavilion?

• Will you be using the tent for storage and sleeping or for entertaining? If you often entertain, you may want to get the smallest tent you can comfortably fit in with your belongings, and invest in a larger shade for entertaining space.

•   Do you carry many things with you to events? Do you pack light, preferring to sleep on the ground, having a single cooler and few belongings? Do you pack for comfort and style, preferring to have a bed off the ground, clothes racks, several coolers and chairs? The amount of belongings you intend to take with you may also dictate the size of tent you need.

•  What sized walls would be best to purchase? While 6’ is a standard that works well for most people, and allows for entrance with minimal stooping over, merchants and taller people may want to consider taller walls for a more open feeling and the comfort of others that walk into the tent.

•  Remember that this is your home away from home, and it should be comfortable for you to live in.
