Cabanon Emilie vintage frame tent - old but still usable

Description

This Cabanon Emilie frame tent dates back to around 1990. We bought it secondhand in 1994 and used it regularly until 1999. It has not been used much since then and not at all for 20 years. It has always been put away dry and has been stored indoors. I can only find one photo of it - we used it in the days before mobile phones!

Like all Cabanon frame tents of this era, it is very sturdy, with a steel frame and a heavy duty canvas outer tent with a plasticised roof. There is a single inner tent with a cotton divider down the middle if needed. Cabanon described it as a 4 man tent as there is room for 4 people to lie down. Also included is an awning (see photo). The inner tent goes across the back half of the tent, and the front half is the living area. It comes with original curtains for the windows. It also comes with tent pegs, some guy ropes and a tent peg remover.

As you would expect, there are some signs of wear and tear, but it was still waterproof when last used . The thick rubber bands that are used around the bottom to peg the tent down will all be completely perished and will need replacing. Cabanon expect this to be needed and show how a new band can be fitted (see second photo).

The tent comes in its original bags (a sacking bag for the tent frame, a second bag for the canvas and inner, and a third smaller bag for the awning), see third photo.

I can describe it as "retro" and "vintage", but you know that what I really mean is "old". But these were the best tents you could buy in their day and it has life left in it yet. It is offered free in the hope that it can be used again for some fun holidays.

It is offered for collection only please.
