Ridge tents

Ridge tents have a sloping roof with a ridge, just like a house. As a result, rain runs off well and the tent stands firm in the wind. Inside you have lots of room to stand and sleep. In this collection you will therefore find tents from CanvasCamp, in cotton or technical canvas.

Ridge tents: stable and roomy

The shape is simple and strong. The fabric hangs tight over the ridge, while pegs and guy lines keep everything in place. So the tent stays up, even in strong wind. The fabric is cotton or canvas. This breathes, so it stays fresh and dry inside. Moreover, the fabric is sturdy, so the tent lasts for years. Thanks to the height in the middle, you can stand up straight, for example to change your clothes.

What to look for

First, look at the size. A tent for two is quick to pitch, but with a family you want more room. Next, check the weight. Cotton is heavy, so it mainly suits people who travel by car. Also choose a flat spot, so the fabric is equally tight everywhere. Furthermore, always pitch the tent with all lines and pegs, because then it stands best. Finally, let the fabric dry well before you pack it away.
