Historical tent with a construction based solely on the main mast. The roof is tightened with ropes ended with hooks. The original of such a tent is displayed in the Swiss museum in Basel and dates back to the 16th century. Still, it can be assumed that such tents were also used in the Middle Ages, by knights and traveling armies. The height of the tent is 4 meters, the main mast is divided into two sections. The length of the longest element in transport is 2.1 meters. The diameter of the tent measured at the ground is 6 meters.

In the standard option, the tent is made from natural coloured technical cotton of 300gr/m2 denisty. This fabric, however, will not withstand prolonged rain, recommended for countries with a warm climate. We suggest to order impregnated fabric which has been tested and impregnated by the manufacturer, not by a subcontractor or by hand which will guarantee that the tent is rot resistant and waterproof. We also provide and option to use a colored and impregnated fabric for the tent, in the footer of the shop website you will find a link to the card of available colors. We also paint historical motifs.

We use hardwood like ash, beech, birch, etc. to make the frame.

  • Tent canvas in 3 pieces – roof and 2 wall segments
  • Wooden frame
  • Hand made hemp rope
  • A set of wooden tent pegs
  • Decorative crowning
  • Transport bag

Available options:

  • Hand forged steel pegs
  • Hand made heavy duty hemp rope and steel pegs to make the thent more resistant to heavy weather
