When you’re investing in a high-quality canvas bell tent, comfort is everything. Whether you are hosting an upscale glamping retreat, setting up a temporary event space, or spending a weekend outdoors, ventilation and protection are critical.
That is why we developed our proprietary Double Wall (Bug Guard) system. It’s not just an accessory; it’s a design feature that transforms how you use your tent.
What is the Stout Tent Double Wall System?
Our standard bell tents are engineered with 24-inch side-walls that can be rolled up and secured with a toggle, allowing for excellent air circulation and easy cleaning.
However, we know that letting in a breeze often means inviting unwanted guests—like mosquitoes, flies, and other insects. Our Double Wall system solves this by adding a layer of high-quality, durable netting behind the main canvas side-walls.
The system features a zip-in/zip-out design, giving you complete control over your environment. Want full airflow without the bugs? Simply zip in the bug guard. Need to open the tent fully for access? The netting rolls up and toggles just like the outer canvas.
Why This System is Beneficial
-
Customizable Ventilation: You can roll up the outer canvas walls to allow a cross-breeze, while keeping the inner bug mesh securely zipped to maintain a pest-free zone.
-
Enhanced Breathability: Canvas is a naturally breathable material, but adding the ability to safely open the side-walls maximizes airflow, helping to reduce condensation and prevent mold from forming.
-
Versatile Design: Because the system is modular, you aren't stuck with one setup. You get the ruggedness of a canvas wall with the added utility of a screen house, all in one premium structure.
