Tent Construction
Removable Fabric Tent
The tent is hand sewn from 600 Denier solution-dyed polyester with a flame-resistant CPAI 84 rating and a water, UV, and mildew-resistant coating. It features breathable mesh screen doors for ventilation. A skirt around the bottom diverts rain away from the interior, and the tent provides access through two side doors and one large rear door.
fiberglass Outer Shell
Engineered for strength and longevity, this shell is crafted from hand-layered fiberglass with a robust 3/16" wall and reinforced by a marine-grade resin base. The glossy gel coat finish not only looks sharp but resists wear over time. A precision weather seal along the top edge provides a dependable, watertight closure, safeguarding your gear in all conditions.
Hardware
The unit has heavy-duty locking latches to secure the lid and reduce vibration. It uses strong nylon hinges reinforced with a metal plate inside the fiberglass shell for durability, and gas lifter shocks with pull cord make lid operation smooth and easy.
