A U.K.-based company by the name of Sky-Pod has unveiled an eponymous tree tent that is designed to dangle from trees whilst offering a comfortable space in which to sleep and take shelter from the elements.
This tree tent offers 2.1 square meters of floor space and stands 2.75 meters tall, making it ideal for two people to occupy. The tent comes equipped with an aluminum-sheathed cushioning that is designed to act as a backrest, making it just as suitable for sitting up and relaxing as it is for taking a deep snooze. The tent also comes with a manipulable zipper system that lets users move between complete to partial weather protection for added flexibility.
First innovated as an artistic project all the way back in 2002, the Sky-Pod is a fine example of artistic vision meeting realistic engineering, with the end result being an actionable idea and product that is set to serve camping enthusiasts and explorers well.
