New Bell Tent

[Farmer_Fred]

Hello!
I received my new bell tent last week (birthday present from myself!) and thought I would post a picture up here as I am impressed by it and would highly recommend.
The one I got came with an interior compartment at the rear half of the tent which can be divided into 2 seperate bedrooms. The tent has a diameter of 4m and is made fro a good tough, thick 35ogsm canvas. This does however add to the weight- with all the steel poles, mallet, re-bar stakes and porch it weighs just over 40kg! I wouldnt use anything heavier than a few kg if I didnt have a truck with me.

I erected it in the garden over the weekend for it to catch a bit of weather and was impressed at its stability in the wind.
Do you find these being used across the pond?

Nice tent Fred!!

Nothing better than keeping you and all the gear high and dry with room to spare.

Happy BDay to ya ol' fart

Enjoy both!

How's the trailer going? I'm hoping to get a sankey trailer off my sister's partner as he's a captain in the British Army, but I could be waiting a while before I can get going o a trailer build
