Stan Pinguin Nimbus 4

Product detailed description

Family dome tent

The Nimbus 4 is an affordable combination of comfort, space, stability and easy erection. This model offers plenty of room for larger groups or family camping. The flysheet is made of Polyester with a polyurethane coating, giving a water column of 4,000 mm. Seams are fully taped to protect against leakage. The groundsheet is made of nylon with a polyurethane coating giving it a water column of 10,000 mm. The poles are made up of laminate segments with a diameter of 11 and 13 mm.

The tent is double-skinned consisting of an inner tent and flysheet. The inner tent has a rectangular floor plan with an entrance on its longest side. The flysheet forms a large vestibule that can be entered through two different entrances.

Tent concept

This is based on the principle of a pole structure threaded through sleeves made of perforated material on the outside of the flysheet. The flysheet and inner tent (which is suspended under the flysheet) are erected at the same time after threading the poles through the sleeves. The advantage of this method is that the inner tents can be detached from the flysheet and the flysheet can then be pitched separately to create a single-wall tent.

There is a vent at the top of the flysheet dome. Vent covers are designed so they are not affected by the wind. This prevents leaks during rain with strong winds.

Pitching the tent

Thread the tent poles through the perforated sleeves on the outside of the flysheet and insert the steel pegs attached to the groundsheet into the tubes at the end of the poles. The inner tent is attached to the loops on the inside of the flysheet. Anchor the erected tent with pegs and guy ropes and tighten with the plastic buckles.
