General information
Standard tent for emergency field hospital, health center, storage, etc…
Can be attached one to another to make a longer structure.
The tent can be delivered without options or with the following:
- A bathtub ground sheet to cover the complete surface of the tent.
- An inner tent, with its own bathtub ground sheet, to increase the protection from heat, cold, wind, dust, insects, etc.
- A set of 5 partitions to create separate areas and closed cabins inside the inner tent.
- A shade-cover for hot climate to place over the tent (includes a specific frame), for an increased protection from heat. The shade-cover is made of standard plastic sheeting, see specifications under the item code HSHETARPW406
This type of tent is especially designed for its resistance to wind, rain, micro-organisms. The polyester/cotton canvas combines strength, durability, waterproof, and breathing capacities.
The same tent can also be manufactured entirely with PE sheeting (like the standard Tarpaulins and the standard Family tent). This will increase its life span and will allow easier cleaning and disinfection.
Expected life span is 1 year in a tropical environment for the polyester/cotton type (at least 2 years if made of PE).
Disinfection: Chlorine will damage the polyester/cotton canvas (0.2% concentration is a maximum advisable).
Setting up requires 8 persons and take 2 hours (instructions included). Avoid setting it up under trees as this will lead to polyester/cotton canvas rotting. Use all ground fixings to ensure the maximum wind resistance.
Selection of types and manufacturers is to be handled by HQ technical and purchasing departments. Full specifications can be obtained at your HQ. The specifications below define the minimum quality for the main material of the polyester/cotton tent. Adherence to these specifications is a good indication for pre-selecting interested manufacturers.
