Large Pavilion – Basel Style – 4×7 – cotton

Historical tent with a construction based solely on two masts. The roof is tightened with ropes ended with hooks. The original tent of a similar construction is 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 tent is 4m wide, 7m long and 3.7m high. The tent canvas consists of 4 parts: the roof and walls in 3 pieces, thanks to which the front or back can be raised creating a large, roofed entrance. The piles are divided into two parts for easier transport. The dimension of the longest element is 2.1m. The frame is made of solid wood like ash, beech or the like.

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.
