Product Information

The density of the net fabric is more compared to other hanging tents for camping, making it suitable for keeping mosquitoes away.

Short: Airborne sleeping facilities which fulfil all the same functions as a traditional tent (and more), only in the air.This tent is designed for two campers plus their gear. It’s smaller than the 3-person tents, but can still carry an impressive 880 pounds of weight. We like the Safari Connect because it comes with the same enhanced materials as the Safari including 8,000HH rainfly and 450D floor fabric so this tent will last a long time. That’s A Wrap!

If you’re new to the world of tree tents, here are some tips for setting yours up properly: Camping Location Camping above a waterfall or a ravine might seem really cool, but it won’t be if your tent suffers a catastrophic failure in the night. Although tree tents are designed to be super strong and reliable, anything can happen out there, especially if human error is introduced into the mix.

You’re going to notice nearly every product on this list is from Tentsile. That’s because they are one of the most accessible manufacturers, have great customer service, and there are very few other companies that produce comparable tents. Floor Fabric: Safari Stingray has a 450D (denier) floor fabric as opposed to the Stingray which has 250D fabric.

Do you often camp alone, or do you include your family members and friends in the expedition as well? A hanging tent can house 2 or more campers. So, count the maximum number of people who would go on a trip with you.So, don’t pitch your tent above anything you wouldn’t want to fall on if your tent broke. Soft, pine-covered forest floors are preferred. Don’t Exceed The Weight Capacity Mosquitoes could ruin your night in the wilderness. Bug bites would be an addition to that party. Don’t want to be a part of their feast? Look for net systems in your hanging tent that can keep bad bugs and mosquitoes away! Consider the capacity Trees don’t need to form a perfect equilateral triangle, but all three points should be less than 90 degrees from each other. There is an iPhone app to help you find the perfect trees. Are tree tents hard to set up? If you’re looking to try out a tree tent, we recommend the Tentsile Stingray for groups of three. For a more durable solution, consider the Safari Stingray. Couples camping together should take a look at the Safari Connect which is designed for two campers plus their gear.

While many people think that tree tents are just for fun, they offer plenty of advantages for campers. Here are a few reasons why you might want to consider one of these magical tents for your camping trips: Once a network of cables is suspended from suitable points of support, the miracle fabrics can be hung from it and stretched across the relatively small distance between the cables of the network. The German architect Frei Otto has pioneered this type of roof, in which a net of thin cables hangs from heavy boundary cables supported by long steel or aluminum poles. Following the erection of the tent for the West German pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal, he succeeded in covering the stands of the Munich Olympic Stadium...in 1972 with a tent that shelters eighteen acres, supported by nine compressive masts as high as 260 feet and by boundary prestressing cables of up to 5,000 tons capacity. (The spider, by the way, is not easy to imitate — this roof required 40,000 hours of engineering calculations and drawings.)" For his entire life, German architect and Pritzker Laureate Frei Otto studied the possibilities of lightweight, tensile architecture — painstakingly calculating the height of poles, the suspension of cables, the cable netting, and the membrane materials that could be used to create large-scale tent-like structures. His design for the German Pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal, Canada would have been much easier to construct if he had CAD software. But, it was this 1967 pavilion that paved the way for other architects to consider the possibilities of tension construction. If you want a unique hanging tent experience, we recommend the Tentsile brand over all else. Tentsile produces quality hanging tents and plants 20 trees for every tent sold!Speaking of sleep, the last thing you want to do is roll into your partner in the middle of the night. Sleeping bays are created with a reinforced strap system so each person gets their own flat area to rest. Fabric Strength Clean: Regular tents are flat on the ground so you end up getting dirty and stepping into the dirt every morning. Tree tents are suspended so they stay clean all night. Choosing a tree tent for your camping trips is no walk in the park. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind as you shop: Hanging vs Suspended When choosing webbing for your setup, look for ones that are at least 1 inch wide with a high weight capacity to ensure safety while sleeping in suspended shelter .
