A period tent is a type of historical cotton tent based on the 19th century design. Cotton canvas of this model joins the best features of a Sibley tent and bell tent. This cotton tent is easy in transport and ventilation.
This period tent is made of impregnated cotton of approx. 340 g/m2 grammage. Diameter of the bell tent in the widest area reaches around 4 m. Period tents of this type have a wall of approx. 62 cm height which can be pulled up. This ensures a proper ventilation, just like openings near the top part.
Construction of the bell tent is based on a two-part mast of 370 cm length and diameter of 5 cm, joined with a metal sleeve. This period tent also has anti-hurricane ropes of 150 cm length and 6 mm diameter, finished with a loop for pegs.
A bell tent set consists of:
- two-part mast of 370 cm length and 5 cm diameter
- cotton tent sheet
- metal sleeve for joining a mast
- polypropylene ropes of 150 cm length and 6 mm diameter
- 40 tent pegs
- bag for tent pegs
- bag for tent sheet
Our period tent is very easy and quick in assembling. What is more, its shape, dimensions and weight after folding make it easy to transport. Bell tents join many positive features. Their shape gives extra aerodynamics which protects them against wind, rain and snow. This shape also ensures the best efficiency regarding warmth, space and weight, with the best durability on stretching with the lowest structural support.
These features and historical origin make the bell tent a perfect choice for every reenactor, especially British and American armies from the half of the 19th century up to World War II. Period tents of this type will also work well for anyone looking for simple, easily transportable construction.
There's an option of changing the polypropylene ropes for hemp ropes with no charge. Polypropylene ropes are more durable, harder in stretching and untwisting.
ATTENTION!
Under the influence of bad weather conditions (heavy rain for example), wet leather elements may taint the tent's fabric.
The leather used for strengthening fabric in places where the pegs are, entry, and guy ropes is in black colour. (if applicable)
