Dutch pyramid tent: Dewitt Atlanta 6 birth. Not tipi, bell or yurt
Stand out at a festival or campsite in this fabulous tent! It is sadly time to say goodbye to our Dewitt Atlanta 6-birth pyramid tent - the children in the photo have now left home and we have moved on to one more suitably sized! Bought approximately 15 years ago, it has done us proud on a number of family holidays. Sleeping under cotton is a pleasant experience - cool under a hot sun, and with its sewn in ground sheet (approx 4m x3.9m in size)and multiple pegs it feels very stable in beating rain and howling gales. It is easy to put up, with only one central pole and a two simple frames at the front. The disadvantage is it is LARGE and HEAVY to store. The main bag weighs about 36kg and I can just about get my arms around it to lift it vertically. As the ground sheet is sewn in, the tent has to be dried as a whole if it gets wet - it is helpful to have a decent space undercover at home to dry it out. Having been kept in a dry attic, in my opinion it is still in great condition. Cotton has natural waterproof qualities, but the tent would probably need some reproofing before testing the canvas in heavy wet conditions Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
