This description has been machine translated from the original text.

Base Camp

Family tent with two bedrooms and the possibility to create a canopy by supporting the entrance part. The dome-shaped construction made of four poles crossing at five points is also extremely rigid and, despite its size, it is very windproof. The Tropico is made of Polyester with a polyurethane coating, which gives it a water column of 4,000mm. The seams are taped against leakage with heating tape. The liner is made from Nylon with a Polyurethane coating giving it a 10,000mm water column. The rods consist of laminate segments with a diameter of 11mm (main diagonal rods) and 9.5mm (cross rods).

Description

The tent is double-skinned and consists of two inner tents and an outer shell - the tropic. The inner tents have a trapezoidal floor plan with an entrance on the longest side. The outer tent is roughly rectangular and has two entrances which can be supported to form a canopy over the entrance. The concept of the tent is based on the principle of a rod structure strung in sleeves of perforated material on the outside of the canopy. After threading the rods through the sleeves, the tropic and the inner tents (which are suspended under the tropic) are erected simultaneously. The advantage of this method is that the inner tents can be detached from the tropic and the tropic can then be erected separately, thus making a single-skin tent.

Ventilation

It is located in the top of the dome of the tropical dome. The ventilation windows are shaped so that they are not tilted by the wind. This prevents leakage even in rain with strong winds.

Tent construction

Push the construction rods through the perforated sleeves on the outside of the tropical tent and insert the steel spikes threaded on the floor of the tropical tent into the tubes at the end of the rods. The inner tent is fastened into the loops on the inside of the canopy. Anchor the erected tent with pegs and cords and fasten with plastic clips.
