SIZES AND UK PRICES - PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
In the
deserts of the Middle East the swift Bedouin tribes made
a tent. It was designed to protect the people from
the harsh environment and to provide for their needs in
terms of living space. Separate sections provided
privacy and social space. The front walls formed
wind breaks to shelter the campfire or stove. The
tent that they made was light weight and even the larger
tents could be pitched quickly by one person.
The Shelters Unlimited Bedouin Tent is based
on this traditional pattern but we use durable cotton
canvas and modern techniques to finish the tent
perfectly. The waterproofed canvas is dyed to
authentic colour ranges, stormflaps and Dutch lacing
render the tent completely draught free and water tight.
This Bedouin Tent is made totally from natural materials
- cotton canvas, hemp and jute.
YOUR BEDOUIN TENT
This is the
tent for throwing in the 4x4 and heading off into the
great outdoors, with the family, with friends or alone.
Your Bedouin
Tent can be either our basic design or we can include
your special modfications. You can choose to add
colour to the basic natural colourway or keep close to
the natural cream, sand, brown and black.
Certain features like tension bands (Trigas) can be made
with flashes of bright colour or can be decorated with
applique patterns. The standard tent has a simple
geometric design on the main tension band.

INSTRUCTIONS

The easiest
and fastest tent in the world to put up.
1. Take the
roof section and lay it on the ground where you want the
tent to stand.
The tension band should be underneath and the larger
section to the left as you stand facing the tent.
2. Stretch out
the guy ropes following the angles of the tension bands, place the sliders halfway along
the length and peg out.
3. The poles are three
different sizes. Take one of the shortest poles and
put the spike through one of the corner eyelet's lifting
the corner of the roof. Take a medium sized pole
and do the same the next eyelet along. Work your
way around the tent putting the shortest poles in the
corners and the medium poles in the straight edges as you go. Alter the
tension of the guy ropes with the sliders as you do this.
4. Fit the
centre pole
into the shoe in the centre of the roof and tie it into
place.
5. Adjust the tension of
the guy ropes using
the sliders.
6. Locate the end of
the wall section. Take the front centre pole out of
the eyelet by lifting the roof off it and put the loop
over the spike, then replace the pole. Work you
way around the tent in a clockwise direction, hanging the
wall off the poles.
7. Lace the
the wall to the roof using the Dutch lacing system.
8. Tie the
wall bottom to the poles so the walls can be lifted up the pole to
create ventilation. The wall can be pegged down at
each pole if necessary.
