They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the top of the tent. The most basic dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, slanted walls two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof.
