Conical or bell shaped canvas tent. No ropes required, it is quick to erect and very durable and sturdy in all weather conditions. Tall enough to stand in when getting changed and small enough to easily carry when packed. This tent can sleep up to 4 adults.

Maximum measurements are 3.5m tall and 4.5m wide (diameter) at the base, these are all hand made so variations do occur, but size can also vary due to weather, terrain and age of tent. It has a door flap which can roll up and by tightly lashed down in poor weather. Photo does not give an accurate idea of how large this tent actually is.

The conical/bell shaped tent is a timeless design and can be seen in many sketches and paintings throughout history. They would have been a common sight among Henry VIII campaigns through to French Infantry of the 18thC. A similar design was also used much earlier by nomadic tribes and also later as in the patented early American Sibley tent. The popularity of this design is possibly related to the fact that no ropes are needed and therefore are easier to move around within a large encampment.

Original packed size 50cm x 65cm x 28cm but will vary depending on how you fold/roll it. Approx 14kg.

Compact, comfortable and reliable tent for 2-3 adults or a palace for one. Used the tent a number of times over the last year. Super easy to put up and take down. Can be done by a single individual in 20mins or so, but is even easier with two.

Stores well, and takes very minimal room for transport. I erect mine with a take apart pole, meaning i can transport the whole tent, poles, pegs and all easily in a standard sedan boot, with plenty of room to spare for other equipment.

The tent handles well in what can be describes as no less then biblical rainfall, having kept me and my bedding dry, without a single drip when the heavens turned what must have been a swimming pool upside down for three days straight. Allowing me to sleep comfortably as other fled their failing tents for alternate shelter (including many whom were staying in modern nylon tenting).

I have found the issue of tying and untying the door during the day (mentioned in the previous review somewhat remedied by leaving the door permanently tied down one side (opening on a diagonal rather than as a full door) and using only one tie on the opposite side to hold the door closed during the day, when I expect to be opening and closing it frequently.

Overall, I could not be more satisfied with the tent and believe its value vastley exceeds its price. No need to ever sleep in plastic city at a period event again.
