The Tentsile Provides Above Ground Shelter for Campers
Andrew Robertson — March 18, 2012 — Art & Design
Promoted as the worlds most versatile tent, the Tentsile removes the hassle of poles and pins and allows campers to enjoy safe, sheltered sleep from the comfort of the tree line. The tent is “held in tension by elongates which collect at each of the three high level anchor points, and at the base to form internal spaces,” according to Uncrate, creating a triangle-shaped, suspended hammock.
The polyester fabric of the Tentsile tent is fire retardant and water resistant, ensuring that you and your friends or family are safe from both land-dwelling threats and environmental hazards.
Available in a variety of sizes accommodating anywhere from one to eight people, the Tentsile tent is a new and impressive addition to the growing line of hammock-meets-tent camping gear.
