There are plenty of things that affect how long your tents for events is going to last. Some of them are within your control and some really aren’t. The 3 main factors include your frequency of usage, what kind of elements your tent gets exposed to, and the care and maintenance you provide it.

Frequency of usage
If you use your tent more often then chances are that it is not going to last as long. This is because it will be exposed to more elements and develop more wear and tear. This doesn’t mean that you should go camping less, not even close. This applies to everything you have and use. Just like your car with adding more miles, there is going to be more wear and tear. Your tent’s usable life is very similar.

Most campers only use their tents in the summer maybe for a total of 10 nights or so a year. That is very low usage. If you are doubling or tripling that usage then your tent may not be able to hold up as long. Even if you do use your tent more frequently than average, the wear and tear can be mitigated with proper care and maintenance. You also need to try and limit the tent’s exposure to rough conditions if at all possible.

Elements exposed to
The weather is something that can take quite a toll on your tent. Some kinds of weather are worse for your tent than others but they all take some kind of toll on your tent. For example, heavy wind can be very damaging to tents. I myself have lost a tent pole because of the heavy wind. The wind can bend and break the tent’s poles and thus alter its integrity. Luckily in most circumstances, tent poles can be repaired or replaced easily. The best thing to do in high winds is to take your tent down and wait them out if at all possible.
