Hi Chris

Your JC Higgins tent sounds interesting; would love to see some pictures of it.

It always amazes me how different countries have such different styles of tent available - probably to do with the varying weather conditions we experience.

I've got a De Waard tent which is a Dutch make, click here for their website.  Mine is a two person version of their Albatross tent with two side wind panels and a variable canopy.  The designs are very different to what is available in the UK.  We had to go over to Holland to buy it as they don't export them.  Most of their tents have a centre pole, so you feel a bit like you're in a circus tent.

Hello Chris,

Nice of you to think of us.

This year we are having our 60^th anniversary, so lots of experience here.

Yet, no one here remembers something like HDL for a manufacturer.

Are there any details in the label ? ( I cannot read the text around the HDL logo..)

The Felisol brand is for the cotton sheet that has been used.

The tent must be (from its looks) from the 1960’s.

De Waard built similar models in those days.

Hi Chris

The De Waard people are great, very helpful, and very serious about their tents.

The images didn't come out in your post, but the links worked.  If you want to post a link just highlight a word in your text and then click on the little globe in the 'post reply' box, copy and paste the web address into the http box, and that's all you need to do.

The pics of your umbrella tent are fascinating.  The centre pole is literally like putting up an umbrella, never seen one like that before.
