The Inflatable Air Tent Story

First-Time Using a Peirhw Inflatable Tent: A Complete Hands-On Review by Justine

As told by our camping-mad team member Justine Smith — her honest first impressions using a Peirhw Inflatable Tent.

“They Are Unbelievably Solid!” — A First-Time Experience

The very first thing you’ll notice is the size of the air tubes. They are much larger than any traditional tent pole, and once inflated, incredibly solid. Any preconceived ideas about inflatable tents will disappear immediately.

And if your kids think these tubes work like a bouncy castle… they will be disappointed (and probably sore). These tubes are built for strength, not bouncing.

Stronger Than Traditional Poles

Inflatable tent technology has existed since the 1930s. But the Peirhw Team has taken it far beyond its origins. Our tubes are engineered using the same durability found in professional kitesurfing equipment—gear designed to survive extreme force and impact. No camping weather will ever treat your tent as harshly as the ocean treats a kitesurfer.

Built Like Fort Knox — Protected, Replaceable, Reliable

  • Protected by a two-layer zippered shell
  • Secured inside a shaped pocket within the tent
  • Designed to be easily replaced if ever needed

While punctures are extremely unlikely, the system is fully serviceable. Think of it as trying to get a prickle through a thick flip-flop—possible, but rare.

Pitching the Tent: So Easy It Feels Like Cheating

Whether you're a nervous first-timer or an experienced camper, the pitching process is amazingly simple. And yes—you will look like an expert doing it.

  1. STEP 1 — Take the tent out of the bag
  2. STEP 2 — Lay it flat & peg down the four corners
  3. STEP 3 — Connect your pump to the valves
  4. STEP 4 — Start pumping (the tent rises by itself!)
  5. STEP 5 — Peg in the remaining points
  6. STEP 6 — Peg out guy ropes
  7. STEP 7 — Roll up the doors & admire your handiwork

From bag to fully pitched, the entire process takes about 20 minutes. Perfect time to sit back, grab a drink, and prepare for curious campers walking over to ask, “What tent is that?”

Nightfall Tips — Stability in Any Weather

Before sunset, it’s always good practice to double-check your setup. Even though Peirhw inflatable tents stand solidly without guy ropes, they provide extra stability in unexpected wind.

Recommended inflation:

  • 7–9 PSI depending on conditions
  • 9 PSI is ideal for windy nights
  • Tubes can handle up to 30 PSI — zero risk of overfilling

Many customers report that after stormy holiday periods, Peirhw tents were among the few left standing. Because inflatable tubes flex under extreme pressure, they survive winds that can snap traditional poles.

Pack-Up: Even Faster Than Set-Up

When it’s time to leave, everything becomes effortless again.

  1. Remove your belongings
  2. Open the valves — enjoy the dramatic hiss
  3. Let the tent collapse on its own
  4. Roll it toward the open valves (Peirhw hack!)
  5. Fold to the width of the bag and pack it away

Yes — the bag is actually designed to fit the tent. No wrestling match required.

Final Thoughts — Camping Made Stress-Free

Camping in a Peirhw Air Tent is:

  • Stress-free
  • Quick
  • Beginner-friendly
  • Built for all weather
  • Surprisingly fun

And no — these tents are nothing like pool floaties or beach balls. But the included pump will definitely help inflate that oversized flamingo for your summer adventures.
