Bell tents were where it all began for us, way back in 2016! After 10 years distributing and renting out bell tents in NZ, we thought we would go back to the drawing board, and make something extra special. Suited to New Zealand specifically, and taking all the best bits from other tents we have seen in the game. And none of the nonsense we see too.
After a 12 month R&D, with 6 different prototypes, (one was in the yard for 4 months), scrutinising all aspects of the tent; we think we have landed with the best bell tent on the market. An all season beast suitable for all of the countless applications we have seen bell tents used for in the past. perfect for extended professional applications.
With this it was a necessary development to call this the pinnalce, not only in the pinnacle peaked aesthetic, but in the culmination of the efforts put in, and the consequent success at the end.
