What does the water column mean?

The water column indicates how waterproof a tent is. The higher the water column, the more resistant the tent is to penetrating moisture.

When is a tent waterproof?

According to the standard, a tent is considered waterproof from a water column of 1,500 mm. A distinction is made between the water column of the tent wall and the tent floor.

What helps against heat in a tent?

To keep your tent cool, you should make sure that your tent is in the shade during the midday sun. Good air circulation is essential when camping in summer - it's best to have windows or doors opposite each other. Our tents with darkened sleeping cabins also help to keep the tent cool. You can find more tips in our blog post on "Cooling your tent in summer".

How do I store the tent correctly?

Clean the tent and waterproof it if necessary before storing it for the winter. Also make sure that the tent is completely dry. To protect the tent fabric, ideally store the pegs, nails and poles separately. Store the tent in a dry, cool place with good ventilation.

When/how often to waterproof the tent?

How often you waterproof your tent depends on how often you use it and where you pitch it. However, we recommend waterproofing your tent at least every three months or before storing it. If you use cleaning agents, you should also waterproof your tent afterwards. You can find more information on cleaning, storage and waterproofing in our related blog post .

What is the vestibule in a tent?

The vestibule is a kind of anteroom outside the main tent. This area is covered, but usually not completely enclosed. For example, you can store equipment here that you want to protect but don't want to store directly in the tent. Depending on the type of tent, the vestibule may be larger or smaller.

How do I avoid condensation in the tent?

To avoid condensation in the tent, check in advance whether the ground is dry - otherwise moisture can form in the tent. Good ventilation is also very important. It is best if ventilation openings are opposite each other so that the air can circulate optimally. Wet clothing also contributes to condensation forming - so it is best to dry it outside during the day. "

Can a tent go in the washing machine or tumble dryer?

Never put the tent in the washing machine or tumble dryer! Detergents, softeners and heat attack the coating of the tent fabric and encourage mould. Spinning also puts a lot of strain on the material, while zips can damage the delicate tent fabric. This results in tears or loose seams that make the tent leaky.

How big should the tent be?

In addition to the living space that is shared, you should also pay attention to the cabins. The number of sleeping cabins and their location play a role here. Sleeping cabins separated by the living area or cabins with a flexible partition wall provide more privacy. As luggage also needs to be stored, you should also take this into account when choosing a camping tent. This can either be stored in the living area, an additional sleeping cabin or in the vestibule.

How do I set up the tent correctly?

In our blog you will find a blog post on the subject of tent pitching with the most important tips on how best to pitch your tent for your next camping holiday.

The guy ropes make the tent storm and weatherproof. This means that your tent is stable in different weather conditions and is ideally aligned.

How do I clean the tent?

For light soiling, you should only use clear water and a soft sponge to protect the tent material and the waterproofing. For more stubborn stains, you should use mild cleaning agents. Just note that you may then have to waterproof your tent again.

Product Description

Nimbus 12

The Skandika Nimbus range offers fantastic outdoor adventures for larger families and groups. The clever design of the Nimbus 12 offers comfort and flexibility for up to 12 people, as the front tent wall is movable: it can either be attached right at the front to make the living area inside a little larger, or moved a little further back to create a covered area in front of the entrance - depending on your needs.

Movable tent front with zip for flexible use of the living space
Three separate sleeping cabins, the largest with roll-up partition wall
Two entrances and roof ventilation with mosquito net for optimum ventilation
Sturdy poles and weatherproof material with 5,000 mm water column
Includes groundsheet pads for the living area and entrance area
Dimensions (total): 630 × 760 cm / Dimensions (cabins): 235 × 180 & 215 × 350 cm / Pack size: 107 × 38 x 30 cm / Weight: 36.3 kg

Movable tent front

The front tent wall is attached either at the front or further back in the tent. This allows you to enlarge the inner living area or create a covered area in front of the entrance that is protected from the sun and bad weather - depending on your own requirements.

Simple customisation

The front of the tent is fastened with a zip and is very easy to move. Thanks to the two matching tent floors for the main area (tub-shaped) and the entrance area (flat), there are many different possible uses that can be realised in no time at all.

Practical sleeping cabins

Three sleeping cabins are supplied: two smaller and one larger. If you don't need all 12 sleeping berths, you can also use the cabins as additional storage space or remove them completely to create an even more spacious living area.

Sleeping cabins with extras

The largest of the three sleeping cabins has a roll-up partition wall. Organiser pockets at the cabin entrances help to keep things tidy and the firmly sewn-in floors ensure a restful night's sleep without rising damp or draughts.

Two entrances

The Nimbus 12 has an additional entrance behind the large sleeping cabin. Even when the cabin is hooked in, this ensures plenty of fresh air, as the cabin itself also has a door at the back so that a fresh breeze can flow through the tent on warm days.

Lots of light and fresh air

In the roof of the living area, there is a permanent ventilation system with mosquito net protected from the outside and two smaller plastic roof windows for more light. These can be darkened inside at night and a camping lantern can be hung from the practical ceiling hook.

Practical cable grommet

There are also small plastic windows in the lower section of the flysheet. Half-moon openings with zip fasteners in the sleeping cabins allow more light to enter at these points or a cable for charging a mobile phone can be conveniently fed into the cabin.

Robust and weatherproof

Steel and fibreglass poles ensure a secure footing even in strong winds, and the extremely high water column of the outer tent of 5,000 mm and the carefully sealed seams offer safety and comfort, even in storms and heavy rain.

Flexible use

Whether in the great outdoors, on the campsite or at a festival, the Nimbus 12 always ensures a flexible and comfortable camping experience. The Nimbus range is also popular as a party tent: cabins out, fairy lights in and off you go!
