19' (6M) Fernweh™ Double-Door Bell Tent

"Withstood a waterfront storm which tore down trees and everything!" -Krista

Multiple Doors, Airy Layout.

The front and back doors provide for multiple entry points and allow for greater airflow. This massive 6M (19.5') canvas bell tent is a beast and a beauty. Perfect to pitch for a season on your property, or to bring out when extra guests are expected. We used rugged 11.5 oz. canvas to create a beast of a canvas tent that will last!

Oh, and what’s with the name? Well Fernweh [PRON “FERN – way”] is German for farsickness – the opposite of homesickness - or a longing to break free and travel.

EASY SET-UP

Our bell tents are a breeze to set-up - taking as little as 20 minutes. All you need is a hammer and flat ground (ideally). First stake the ground pegs around the floor, then add the center and door poles, finally stake out the guy line ropes. Yep, it's that simple.
