Umbrella Type Tent – cotton – 8m

A historical tent based on a main mast and a wheel with spokes to tighten the roof. Such tents were used widely in the Middle Ages, by knights and traveling armies. The height of the tent is 4,5 meters, the main mast is divided into two parts. The length of the longest element to transport is 2.8 meters. The diameter of the tent measured at the ground is 8 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 (360 gr/m2) 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 can also paint historical motifs.
