4 metre diameter Deluxe Bell Tent with integrated heavy duty groundsheet

+ £10 insured shipping to mainland UK

The Deluxe style Bell Tent is suitable for adventurous campers – the integrated, heavy-duty groundsheet offers more security in wet weather and better bug protection. We use our Deluxe Bell Tents for our rentals at Hotel Bell Tent for their increased protection against the elements, and they work brilliantly. The cotton canvas on all our tents is the same but the 4m Deluxe is heavier than the 4m Standard due to the upgraded, heavy-duty groundsheet which cannot be detached from the canvas. If you particularly like the feature of rolling up the side walls go for the Standard Bell Tent or the Ultimate Bell Tent.

Over the years, our Bell Tents have lots of clever little upgrades!

We’ve listened to the feedback from our buyers, tweaked our design, and added options like an Inner Tent. All of our Bell Tents now have the fittings to add the optional Inner Tent with the added bonus of having loops and hoops that can be used to hang anything you fancy...including a loop on the centre pole to hang a rustic Tealight Chandelier. We created the Deluxe Bell Tent to be more robust in bad weather and recently have also improved the A-frame's footing, and redesigned the door flap so you can flatten it down in good weather to avoid tripping.

As we mentioned above Deluxe Tents are perfect for rental so consider this version of the Bell Tent if you are considering setting up your own boutique camp. Why not become part of www.getonmyland.com which is our directory of people offering off the beaten track Bell Tent experiences? It's free to be listed if you have brought from us.

We thoroughly recommend our stunning rustic Tealight Chandeliers which give off both light and warmth. In our experience this is the best way to light up a Bell Tent - everyone looks gorgeous in candle light and they create a very romantic atmosphere. They hang from the centre pole and can be hoisted higher out of little ones reach or lower to make the most of the light and surprising amount of warmth. (Can't be used at the same time as Inner Tent)

What makes it Deluxe?

The difference between the 4 metre Standard and the 4 metre Deluxe is that you get the added resistance to flooding with the groundsheet being permanently connected to the tent walls, however you do lose the ability to roll the sides up on hot days. The Deluxe groundsheet is also a lot thicker (540g/m² PVC) and heavier - the Deluxe weighs 8.5 kg more and this difference is all groundsheet as the cotton canvas is the same for all our tents. If you look at the Features tab above you can see how the groundsheet is attached to the walls.

We seriously recommend that you have a good think about how you are going to use your Bell Tent and ask yourself is it really necessary to spend the extra money on the Deluxe? Remember that one of the unique selling points of a Bell Tent is to be able to raise the sides and let the breeze through on a hot day and you can't do that with with a Deluxe tent.

If you are planning on using the tent in really wet conditions go for the Deluxe or Ultimate style of Bell Tent, otherwise consider the cheaper option!

Something to think about - do you think you are the type of camper who will want the option of using an Inner Tent?

We now offer an optional 4m Inner Tent that gives you the best of both worlds for £96 + £6 shipping to mainland UK.

Our Inner Tents take up the half of the tent opposite the door to create a separate insulated and bug-proof bedroom. So, if you are buying a Bell Tent with the intention of putting an Inner Tent in it you might want to consider the size of Bell Tent you’re after.

The reason we mention this is because a 4 metre Bell Tent is perfect for a family of four or five but when you then cut the space in half with an Inner Tent you are creating two half moon areas that don’t lend themselves well to fitting in many rectangle mattresses. If you are a couple or a couple with a small child, you will comfortably fit in a 4 metre Inner Tent, and more than that and you need to consider a 5 metre Bell Tent, with a 5m Inner Tent, unless you are happy for someone to be sleeping outside the Inner Tent.

The other thing to consider is not being able to use our Tealight Chandelier at the same time as an Inner Tent as they both need the same space around the central pole.

Comes with everything you need:

Tent
Inner Tent fixings
Guy ropes
Built-in groundsheet
Spring-loaded metal tent poles
Pegs for both tent and groundsheet
Spare pegs and pole springs
Matching cotton canvas carry bag, with shoulder straps
Great customer support
Dowloadable photographic step-by-step instructions

In a little attempt to save some trees and resources we no longer include paper instructions with our tents - we have seen too many sets of instructions blowing past at too many festivals...Click below to download the PDF instruction and if possible familiarize yourself with them on screen (they are pretty logical and only usually require one read) before going camping and only print them off if you really need to.

The tents come with insured shipping and a 12 month manufacturer's guarantee against defects

Please note: this guarantee covers manufacturing issues (such as stitching and water-proofing), it is not an insurance policy against damage caused by wear and tear or adverse weather conditions, such as high wind. Be aware that our tents are not designed for extreme weather conditions. Spare parts are also available.

Our canvas is now tested to European BS5852 standards - see Features tab for more information!

As you can see from the pictures with a bit of effort you can create your own vibe and be the envy of other campers.

  Bell Tents are great for:

Camping
Festivals
Garden chill out
Back-up bedroon (banish the in-laws to the garden!)
Outside summer playroom
Weddings (the ultimate honeymoon suite)

We also strongly recommend you check you have received all the elements of your purchase when it arrives and familiarise yourself with it before you are standing in a field at the beginning of a 2 week camping holiday! If for some reason a element is missing we can rush one to you but that won't be much good if you're trying to sleep in it that night!!

Features:

Material is treated to be water resistant for up to 60 weeks of constant use. You can then re-proof the tent yourself, from around £25, or send it off to be professionally cleaned and re-proofed at www.cleanyourtent.com. It is also UV and mould-resistant (please note, no canvas is entirely mould-proof, so we strongly recommend that you take it down every now and then to dry it out completely when it has been up for a while, especially if it's become wet after rain)

European tested to BS5852:

Unlike many of the copies out there, our tents are European tested to BS5852 standards. This is the 'cigarette test' which shows that the tent will not ignite when burnt by the likes of a cigarette. If burnt with the likes of a gas burner it takes an average of five seconds to ignite and will continue to burn but will not drip 'napalm' like polyester tents. If you require a more fire-resistant tent consider going for our Bell Tent Pro option - see the Why Go Pro tab above.

Lightweight but strong (285g/m²) high-quality, 100% unbleached cotton canvas

Weighs 25kg. This is a serious bit of kit so you don't want to be carrying it too far

Heavy-duty, 540gm² waterproof, integral groundsheet that comes 10cm up the side of the tent creating a waterproof 'bath'

Groundsheet at doorways folds flat when open to stop tripping and can be clipped into up position to protect against flooding

Corners of doors have a flap that allows power cables into the tent without having to make a hole or affect flood proofing

Door can be "locked" by padlocking the three door zips together

All of our Bell Tents have all the loops and attachments to fit one of our Inner Tents should you decide you want to add one.

Has a metal hoop on the central pole, great for an Inner Tent or Tealight Chandelier

All packs down into matching canvas bag small enough to go on the back of a Smart car (approx 95x35x35cm)

Fabulous colour - no bright white or multi-coloured nightmares - giving a warm and gentle vibe inside (please note: colours may vary slightly from photographs, and from year to year)

Material is treated to be water resistant for up to 60 weeks of constant use. You can then re-proof the tent yourself, from around £25, or send it off to be professionally cleaned and re-proofed at www.cleanyourtent.com. It is also UV and mould-resistant (Please note, no canvas is entirely mould-proof, so we strongly recommend that you take it down every now and then to dry it out completely when it has been up for a while, especially if it's become wet after rain. If you do have to pack it away wet, make sure you get it out within 24 hours to dry it out properly)

An A-frame-covered entrance. Unlike some Bell Tents this has an A-frame entrance which creates a porch to stop the rain coming in. Tents without this feature can let the rain in and leak all the way up the entrance flap (ie. to the middle of the tent!)
