bell tents

Peaked canvas dwellings

A bell tent is a round canvas tent supported by a central pole, with walls that slope outward like a bell.

Traditional designs date to military use but have become popular for glamping and outdoor events.

The circular floor plan and high center peak create more headroom than conventional camping tents: We set up the bell tent for the wedding reception.
