Description
Our Flagship Canvas Bell Tent.
Engineered for long-term use, the Fernweh canvas bell tent isto be both a beauty and a beast. This is the waterproof tent that started it all for Life Intents.
Made with the heaviest canvas on the market, the brute strength of the thick-plied double weave 11.5 oz (390 gsm) Army duck cotton canvas, will hold up in all seasons and last for generations. The natural light-colored fabric provides an elegance that can’t be matched any another 16′ bell tent in the wild. We like to say it’s adurable (adorable + durable).
