A tent of dome-shaped construction with two entrances and vestibules and two cross-top poles.

The vestibules are sufficiently high, the rigidity of the construction makes the tent suitable for use in more demanding conditions.

The Tropico is made of Polyester with a polyurethane coating, guaranteeing a water column of 4000mm. The seams are taped with waterproof tape. The liner is made of Nylon with a Polyurethane coating, providing a 10,000mm water column.

The members consist of laminate segments of 8.5mm (main members) and 9.5mm (forestay supports).

Description

The tent is double-skinned and consists of an inner tent and an outer shell - tropical. The inner tent has a rectangular plan with two entrances on the longer sides. The outer tent is an octagon, it also has two entrances with two vestibules, suitable for storing luggage or cooking in case of bad weather.

Tent concept

It is based on the principle of a rod structure strung in tunnels outside the tropic. After threading the rods through the tunnels, the tropic and the inner tent (which is suspended under the tropic) are erected simultaneously. The advantage of this method is that the inner tent can be detached from the canopy and the canopy can then be erected separately. This way you get a single-skin tent without a floor.

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 and can be closed with Velcro if necessary. This prevents leakage even in rain with strong winds.

Tent construction

Push the construction rods through the tunnels on the outside of the tent and insert the ends of the rods into the brass eyelets on the loops on the bottom edge of the tent. Then we clip the buckles on the straps at the ground inside the tent and this will set up the tent. Fasten the inner tent into the loops on the inside of the tent. Anchor the tent with pegs and cords and fasten with plastic buckles.
