From the article:
A huge consideration in the selection of a design is how you intend to transport and store it, followed closely by where and when you expect to use it most often. As most of us don't travel with the cargo capacity of a longship at our disposal, the Viking A-frame is not the best of designs for urban apartment dwellers (unless they have some serious storage available elsewhere, plus access to a cargo vehicle large enough to do the cartage...) Similarly, a small, simple marquis is not usually appropriate for a growing household intending to host a hafla anytime soon. OR anyone planning to do more than an occasional camping event in heavy weather.
