100% Cotton 5m Bell Tent With Zipped In Ground Sheet from Camping and Canvas. Condition is Used.
I have for sale my lovely Bell Tent which has been well loved and used. It is approximately 4 years old. It does need to have a flue flap made which I will happily include the canvas and Velcro for I just haven’t had chance to get the sewing machine out. A local company has quoted me £75 this morning to do the job so if you aren’t handy with a sewing machine I can give you details. I believe it’s a fairly simple job which there are loads of YouTube videos for showing how to install.
The tent shows signs of use, a few grubby marks on the doors from my child going in and out but nothing unsightly.
There are a couple of known faults but other than this it’s ready for use –
Flue hole for a 4 inch chimney. As described above will need to be patched or need a flue flap to be installed. Or if you have a stove with a 4 inch chimney then you just need to put it your flashing kit and it’s good to go 🙂
When I bought the tent I noticed that the hook and eye used to hold the door opening up were both eyes! I tried to get this corrected by the manufacturer but to no avail. So I have used pliers to fashion a hook out of one of the eyes and it works fine.
Stripy canvas! As you will see on some of the photos the some of the canvas goes stripy when wet. I was told by the seller that it would fade over time. It is more noticeable from inside than out. It has never caused any problems with waterproofing at all and I actually quite like the pattern 🙂
Small hole/worn patch (about the size of a 10p) which could be patched or repaired with Tear Aid on the aframe where I had fairy lights inside on a particularly windy 2 week stay on the coast. It has just worn a little and causes a tiny drip but again still useable.
So if you’re looking for a little project then this is a great quality tent which only needs a little bit of work to get it back to it’s former glory.
