Tentsile

Tentsile is a British outdoor equipment company best known for its tree tents—suspended sleeping platforms designed to be strung between trees, combining elements of a tent, hammock, and treehouse. The concept aims to keep occupants off the ground while remaining portable and adaptable to natural settings.

The core concept relies on three or more anchor points, using webbing straps and a rigid frame to create a stable, elevated deck. Sleeping decks are equipped with a fabric floor, integrated ladder or entry system, and a rainfly; many models are available in different capacities to accommodate individuals or groups.

Materials and design: the tents use rugged fabrics such as polyester or canvas, along with aluminum or fiberglass components for structure. Reinforced seams and robust stitching support outdoor use, while tree-friendly straps and bark protection sleeves help minimize damage to trunks. Many configurations include built-in mosquito nets, storage pockets, and removable insulation options for varying conditions.

History and market: founded in the early 2010s in the United Kingdom, Tentsile has marketed its products globally through the company’s online store and a network of retailers. The brand emphasizes portability, relatively quick setup, and a design philosophy that seeks to reduce ground impact and offer an elevated camping experience. The range is targeted at campers, hikers, and adventure travelers looking for an elevated, mobile shelter option.
