Tents - Round Pavilion

Round Pavilion

The Round Pavilion, in one form or another, goes back at least to the 12th century in Europe and the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. They were, based on a survey of period art, hands down the most popular style of tent for a good five centuries or so.

Why? Efficent use of material, ease of packing, very good wind/weather resistance, beautiful form, the list goes on.

I use the hub & spoke structure. I have good evidence for its being an authentic period practice, and it is extremely functional. If you desire a rope supported round tent, let me know and I can certainly make you one, I just feel that the hub and spoke version is superior for most people situations.

As with all my tents, two doors are standard. A splice in the center pole is also standard. This keeps all the poles under 7' long. Removable walls are standard on H&S round pavilions. Standard wall height is 6' 9" and walls slope outward 2'. Modifications to wall height and slope are possible, just contact me for a price.

A note on beds:

There is a bit of three dimensional geometry involved in determining if a bed will fit. Therefore I've made a few assumptions to arrive at the above figures.

1. A bed is 8 inches longer than the standard matress size.
2. Bed posts are 2 1/2 feet tall.

This is reasonable for a basic camp bed, but big fancy headboards and such might not fit. Contact me if you need to know if a specific bed will fit.
