Frame tents are more versatile than pole tents. They can be set up pretty much anywhere, with rope-free base plates anchored by stakes or simply with sand bags or water bags keeping them secure.
The biggest drawback of frame tents is that they are more difficult to set up compared with pole tents. Their rigid frames need to be lifted off the ground and set atop poles, requiring more labor. They tend to involve more parts and are generally heavier and more difficult to move.
Pole tents use a simple tension method with outward pressure pulling the tent poles into standing position. Ropes are staked into the ground to anchor the poles. Center poles are set up in the middle areas of the tent, raising the canopy so it’s taut.
Pole tents are easy to set up, so long as they're anchored correctly. It should be noted however that in most cases, you won’t be able to stake a pole tent onto concrete or asphalt, which does limit their usability.
-
Larger Pole Tents require 10' (or more) space than the size of the tent. For example, a 40' x 60' Pole Tent requires a 50' x 70' area and an open grassy space without trees, bushes, or anything obstructing the setup area.
Frame Tents require 4’ or more space than the size of the tent. For example, a 20' x 20' Frame Tent requires at least 24' x 24' in space. The intended space should be an open grassy area without trees, bushes or other obstructions.
