Here we have the latest addition to the Albion Canvas collection. There are a few details (like price!) yet to be finalised, but I have been working on the design for a while and thought you might like to see it.
The idea is a smallish tent that can accomodate a small wood burning stove safely. Many of the other designs like the Bell tents have stoves fitted but arent entirely satisfactory, so I have designed the Satara specifically to take a stove.
As per usual all the canvas is fire retardant, but the tent has been designed to keep the stove to one side, with a roof pitch to take a silicone flue collar at the correct angle.
There is a plenty of room to the rear for a double mattress, and a single bed to one side. The tent can be divided in two different ways with hangings, and can also be extended to increase the living space.
The overall floor space is 3m x 4m (10ft x 13ft) with a height in the centre of 2.13 m (7ft) and wall height of 9.1m (3ft).
Traditional sectioned wooden poles and finials. Side poles to reduce the guy rope footprint are available although not essential. There is also the option to extend the front porch to give a good 1.7m (5ft) covered area in front of the tent, ideal for sitting out or cooking in good weather.
The rear angled corner walls have a netted roll up window in each to give good ventilation in warm weather.
Cost is looking around £1350.00 + stove, final price available once we have completed the prototype.
