Austrian lightweight two man tent
£24.50
A genuine military surplus tent from the Austrian Army, this makes a perfect small tent or shelter for summer camping, fishing, or just for children to play in. It may not cost much, but the fabric is very strong, and all sewn sections and buttons will last for may years.
This clever tent is dual purpose. Designed to be used by a two-man team to shelter under, with each person bringing his or her half with them. Each personal kit would originally comes in a single bag, with one half of the tent. But we supply two of these to make a single tent.
By buttoning the two halves together and supporting the fabric with the two three-piece poles and ground stakes, an approximate 2m x 1.6m x 1.2m tent is created.
The tent does not have a ground sheet and use in bad weather would not be advisable. It is suited to summer use or as an lightweight emergency shelter.
Sold as a two-part fabric set with accessories! Please note, fabric colouration may vary as shown in the photos, but we will match the two halves as closely as we can.
