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.

What does the addition "Protect" mean?

Our tents with the addition "Protect" all have a sewn-in groundsheet. This means that the tent floor and walls are joined together.

What is the advantage of a sewn-in groundsheet?

A tent with a sewn-in groundsheet is particularly suitable for harsh, colder and wetter regions. The groundsheet protects against wind and ground moisture, but also against dirt and crawling animals.

Are cotton tents mould-resistant?

Our cotton tepees are mould-resistant. However, you should ensure that they are stored in a dry place.

Is a cotton tent waterproof?

Product Description

Tipii 500 Technical Cotton

Tipi-like dwellings have been built and inhabited by many peoples for centuries. The unusual room height impresses every visitor who enters the tent for the first time. In true aboriginal style, the tent consists of a large open space in which people sleep, eat and "live".

Up to 10 people can spread out their sleeping bags and sleep comfortably in the Skandika Tipii 500 Technical Cotton. The Indian tent is also ideal for glamping for two or as a party tent.

Made from a special blended fabric for the benefits of cotton and polyester
Optimum use of space with just one central pole and a support pole at the entrance
Absolutely weatherproof with a water column of 4,000 mm, breathable, quick-drying
Firmly sewn-in groundsheet, double doors and half-moon window with mosquito net
Organiser pockets, extra strong steel pegs, rubber hammer, carrying bag
Diameter 500 cm / Height 300 cm / Pack size 115 × 38 × 27 cm / Weight 35 kg

Space miracle with a height of 3 metres

The huge tipi tent offers a comfortable place to sleep for up to 10 people. The overall diameter of 500 cm and the special height of 300 cm make it appear spacious and airy even with so many people. The special room height impresses everyone who enters the Indian-style holiday home.

Glamping, the luxurious way to camp

Glamping shows the tipi at its best. It doesn't always have to be 10 people! For glamour camping for two, the tipi offers plenty of space for a real bed or sofa, various small pieces of furniture, plants and decorations of all kinds. And equipped with lamps and fairy lights, the tipi lights up at night like a beautifully large lantern.

High-quality blended fabric Technical Cotton

Technical Cotton is a special blend of cotton and polyester that perfectly combines the advantages of both types of fabric. Lighter than pure cotton and yet extremely tear-resistant and durable, polycotton dries quickly and is also breathable - a big plus point for a pleasant inner tent climate.

Absolutely weatherproof and safe

With a water column of 4,000 mm, a firmly sewn-in groundsheet and sturdy steel poles, the Tipii 500 Technical Cotton is absolutely stable and can withstand even the worst weather conditions. Particularly robust guy ropes with aluminium tensioners also offer extra security.

Doors with a view and protection

The large entrance provides easy access to the inside of the tent and consists of practical double doors with weatherproof tent material on the outside to keep the inside of the tent nice and dry. Thanks to the inner doors made of mesh fabric, insects are reliably kept out while fresh air and light are let in.

Proven tipi ventilation concept

Half-moon windows made of mosquito net provide plenty of fresh air. They can be closed opaque from the inside if required. Openings in the top of the roof are protected by mesh and external covers and also contribute to the ventilation concept that is so proven and appreciated in tipis.

High level of comfort and practicality

Organiser pockets keep important small items to hand at all times and help even the most chaotic of campers to keep things tidy. The accessory set with all the necessary pegs, particularly strong steel pegs and a practical rubber mallet is supplied in an additional, roll-up fabric bag.

Optimum utilisation of the ground area

With just one central pole and a support pole in the entrance area, the tipi is quick and easy to set up and the entire floor area can be utilised. And when the holiday is over, the robust carry bag makes transporting and dust-free storage of the tipi child's play.

Many creative uses

The Tipii 500 Technical Cotton is not only suitable for glamping as a couple and for families and groups of friends who want to spend a holiday together. The impressive Indian tent is also the perfect choice for the next music festival or as an overnight accommodation and party option for special occasions in the garden.
