MORE ROOM INSIDE, GREATER STABILITY IN HIGH WINDS
REAL TUNNEL AND REAL DOME TENT TECHNOLOGY
CORNER EDGES
Our patented and multi-award winning REAL TUNNEL (RT) technology has
redefined the art of tunnel tent design. The exaggerated convex shape of
the pole sections describes a steeper angle at the sides and is flatter at the
top than conventional tunnel constructions. This creates more useable space
inside the tent. The individual pole sections have different diameters. This
delivers increased stability at the sides of the tent and more flexibility at the
apex. The triangular guying system at the base of the poles also provides
greater pitch stability. CORNER EDGES (short, vertical pole sections) in the
vestibules also create more useable space.
The advantages:
1. Wind tunnel tests have demonstrated that REAL TUNNEL tents have
better stability in side winds. Even at wind speeds of 80km/h there is very
little movement.
2. The exaggerated convex pole design and CORNER EDGES increase the
amount of useable space. This allows the entire floor area of the tent to
be used.
3. The superior ground stability of the REAL TUNNEL design means guylines
are only required in exceptional circumstances. This also significantly
reduces the pitching area required.

REAL DOME (RD) technology applies the breakthroughs made with our
REAL TUNNEL design technology to redefine the self-supporting dome tent.
The result: enhanced stability and better use of the available space. The poles
of our REAL DOME tents describe a steeper angle to the ground than con -
ventional dome tents, which increases the amount of space available inside
the tent.
The advantages:
1. Variable diameter pole sections ensure that the tent remains flexible even
in storm force winds. In addition, the roof area also has greater flexibility
and strength.
2. More acute angle pole configuration for optimal use of available space
and a smaller pitching area.
3. The self-supporting, free-standing dome design makes the tent quick and
easy to pitch.
