Viking tents have many advantages over other medieval tents: they are sturdy and have a stable construction, which also guarantees storage on solid floors, as pegs are not absolutely necessary and you can let your creativity run wild when designing your frame.

The best-known models are based on finds at Oseberg and Gokstad, which, however, were not completely preserved and were therefore partly reconstructed based on assumptions. Nothing precise can be said about the actual use of these tents. It is not entirely clear whether they were actually used in the open air or simply set up for althing. Another theory suggests that these were tents. The word krämer was formed from Old High German cram , meaning tent. Accordingly, they were used at markets in natural harbours.

Since the size of the original finds would be a logistical challenge for most of us, we built them a little smaller and therefore more manageable.
The Viking tent, with dimensions of 3.0 x 2.7 x 2 m, can accommodate up to three people with luggage; the smaller version, measuring 2.0 x 2.3 x 1.8 m, can accommodate two people; space.

Please note that the tent is delivered without a frame !

Our tents and storage tarpaulins are pre-impregnated and therefore water-repellent. To maintain and renew the waterproofing, we recommend regular treatment with a waterproofing spray, e.g. pluvonin. This way you can enjoy your tent for a long time.

Dimensions are approximate and may vary from the delivered product. The tents are handmade, which makes them look as authentic as possible, but it also involves one or two small errors. Cotton is a natural material that behaves differently under different external conditions, i.e. it can contract or stretch very strongly. Do not try to stretch the tent skin very tightly. This increases the risk of tearing or the seams coming open.

Important information about the assembly, handling and care of our historic tents

So that you can enjoy your Viking tent , Roman tent , Saxon tent , knight's tent , medieval tent for a long time, if you have a tent or a medieval market stall , the following tips will be of great help to you:

Do not pull the ropes too tight, because natural materials such as wood and cotton change with humidity and need space to expand or contract. This prevents, for example, the openings for the poles in the roof from widening and water being able to penetrate later. In the evening, we recommend slightly loosening the ropes, as the humidity increases significantly and there is a chance that too much pressure will be put on the tent. If it rains or is very humid, slightly loosen the ropes. After use, make sure to dry the tent if it has become damp, otherwise there is a risk of mould formation. Under no circumstances should you use chemicals or other cleaning products to clean your tent. It is best to remove dried dirt with a brush. If you want to store it for a longer period of time, separate all elements (pegs, ropes, etc.) from the tent fabric and ideally pack everything separately. Make sure that all parts are dry and stored in a dry place.
