The TATONKA TENT ABC Entrances Frame Pockets WELCOME TO TATONKA. WELCOME TO EXPEDITION LIFE. ZELTHANDBUCH Guy ropes Vents Tent Pegs The detailed Tent ABC with numerous tips, tricks and professional care suggestions can be found in the TATONKA tent handbook which can be downloaded at: www.tatonka.com Guy ropes // Guy ropes help to make your tent stable when it’s blowing a gale and raining cats and dogs. The advantage of TATONKA tents is that they have a roll-up system for guy ropes, which makes taking them down a lot easier and prevents knots. For better visibility in the dark the ropes have reflective sleeves. Porch // The porch is the storage space for luggage in the tent between the inner tent and the entrance. A clean and dry storage space for everything that you don’t need inside the inner tent. Entrances // TATONKA inner tent entrances are wide and simple to use. Mosquito windows that can be closed separately and easily with one hand are basic features. When the tent is open the entrance section can be stowed away in the side pocket or rolled up and secured. Tent rods // What counts here is the highest quality. TATONKA uses YUNAN tent rods, since this manufacturer pays as much attention to high quality as they do to sustainable manufacturing processes. YUNAN supplies tent rods in two different aluminium alloys, which are used depending on the type of tent. Both are virtually break-proof, hollow, attached with a rubber band and in this way can be easily connected to each other. Tent pegs // There are different tent pegs for different types of ground. Our tents come with standard pegs. You can purchase special tent pegs for particularly sandy, hard or stony ground, or even snow. Vents // Vents are covered openings in the outer skin of the tent, which provide air circulation. They are separately tensioned and waterproof. Thanks to a stiff fabric band TATONKA vents can be positioned easily, even after intense use. Mosquito windows and tension points are standard features on our tents; vents that can be closed from the inside are available exclusively in our Highend collection. Product care // Please ensure that your tent is completely dry when storing. This will help in avoiding damages to the coating. Tents should be washed by hand and never in the washing machine. Erecting the tent in a shady location and using ground sheets help protect your material on your tours. Pockets // Pockets offer storage space and help you to keep your tent tidy. Side pockets at head height (when lying down) are perfect for storing items such as spectacles. Almost all of our tents with porch have an additional detachable porch pocket and a roof pocket for sunglasses, insect spray or other odds and ends. Ground sheets // Ground sheets protect the base of the tent from damages caused by stones, branches, etc., and also fend off cold and wetness for a long time. The ground sheet should not be bigger than the guyed outer tent, to avoid funnel effects. Porch ground sheets make the porch a clean and dry storage space, even when the weather is bad and the ground is damp. UV radiation // Tent materials, especially the outer fabric, are subject to an ageing process and lose their resistance over time. The main cause of this is UV radiation. Tents with silicone coating are far more resistant than those with PU coating. So it’s best to choose a shady spot to pitch up your tent to avoid any risks. Waterproof // No tent is 100 per cent waterproof, since water seeps through connecting points, seams and zip fasteners. However, these areas also allow water to escape to the outside – which is an important consideration in the overall condensation process. Water column // The water column is a measure of how high the water pressure can be before the fabric lets in moisture. According to DIN, a value of 1 500 mm is classified as waterproof. But a water column measurement is not always a sign of quality. The outer tents of our Highend series with 1 500 mm have a much lower water column than our all-round tents (8 000 mm) – but their special coating means that drops of water drip off immediately and therefore guarantees a 100 % watertight surface. TATONKA ground sheets have a water column of 10 000 mm (all-round) or 8 000 mm (Highend).
TATONKA Tents IN FORM AND FUNCTION Dome and geodesic tents are self-carrying tents whose form is created by arched tent rods that cross at one or more points. This design has a high degree of builtin stability during storms or when carrying the weight of snow. Because of the smaller base area in comparison to tunnel tents, domes are perfect for tours in rocky or mountainous areas as well as for warm areas, since the inner tent can also be erected on its own. Tunnel tents are held by at least two parallel erected tent rod arches that are tensioned laterally. Of all the tent types, the tunnel tents offer the best use of space and at the same time they are very lightweight. The ability to quickly erect and dismantle the tents makes them the perfect companion for trips into areas with unstable weather. UNIVERSAL ALL-ROUND TENTS & SPECIAL HIGHEND MODELS TATONKA offers the perfect tent for every use. The lightweight and robust all-round tents are ideally suited for tours under normal weather conditions. The inner tents are made of 190T Ripstop Nylon W/R and especially breathable. The outer tent is made of Polyester material, has four-layer PU coating on the inside and a water column of 8 000 mm. The material is non-fading and UV-resistant. The anodised aluminium tent rods are virtually break-proof. The robust and tear-proof Highend tents are perfect for extended tours and frequent camping trips – even under extreme weather conditions. The inner tent is made of 30D Nylon Ripstop W/R, which is waterproof, breathable and especially lightweight. The outer tent is made of Nylon 6.6 Ripstop Silicone and is also very lightweight and is especially tear-proof. The five-layer coating with silicone elastomer makes the material waterproof and ensures that water easily beads and rolls off. The scandium tent rods are highly stable and lightweight.
