Explore Planet Earth Bellbird Glamping Tent

G'day Graeme,

This will be a good tent for summer use, this has ventilation vents at the top of the tent and multiple around the base as well as the big entrance mesh door. Although polyester can heat up more than canvas in the sun, the ventilation should be adequate to keep good airflow and keep the temp down inside the tent.

G'day Thomas,

Correct, this is a single-layer tent, so will be prone to condensation compared to other options, however, all customer feedback so far has been excellent!
Ultimately, keeping the side windows open is the only real thing you can do to offset this, but I would recommend keeping an absorbent towel in the tent with you so you can give the roof a quick rub down in the mornings if needed.  Also, making sure all guy ropes are out, and the tent is well tensioned, will stop any unwanted drips!
This is what we recommend with all single skin tent options as a 'just in case', it certainly isn't a known issue with this tent.
Hope that helps!

G'day Heidi,

The Explore Planet EarthBellbird Glamping Tent is a 3 season tent, meaning it's ideal for 3 seasons, Spring through to Autumn.
For a Winter level tent you'd be looking at something with a minimum of 3000mm waterhead rating.
Hope that helps.

G'day Dat,

The newer grey version of the Bellbird Glamping Tent is nearly identical, other than colour. Explore Planet Earth also increased the size and peak height of the front door for easier access.

G'day JJ,

Explore Planet Earth doesn't sell an inner mesh tent for the Bellbird, however the front door is dual layer, so can be set up as just mesh if you're wanting some bug free airflow. There are also low floor vents that are dual layered and can also be used for bug free airflow.  

G'day JJ,

There isn't a specific footprint or tarp that will fit the Bellbird Tent due to the shape. We'd recommend pairing up two of the Oztrail Ultramesh Tarps in 2.44 x 4.88m and overlapping them a little to keep your floor protected, and give some space around the tent too.

G'day Ramil,

Unfortunately, we don't currently have a display model to measure, however, based on the information I've been able to get the current model (with the darker grey trim) has a head height of about 160cm at the apex of the opening. This is about 50cm higher than the opening on the older model (with orange trim), that you may or may not have seen in older youtube product videos.

G'day Nichola,

The Bellbird Glamping Tent is relatively easy to set up and will generally take around 10 minutes. You should be able to set it up solo, however, it will be easier with a second set of hands.

G'day Lucky,

I've checked with the experts in our store and unfortunately, the floor of this tent doesn't unzip.

G'day Kylie,

The Bellbird Glamping Tent has a 2000mm waterproof rating so it will keep showers and light rain out in most scenarios. We'd suggest proceeding with caution in storms though, as most tents are susceptible to damage during storms.

G'day Samantha,

It's very hard to say exactly how the Bellbird Glamping Tent will perform in windy conditions. We'd say based on user experience it won't handle wind as well as the Coleman Instant Up Tents. The Glamping Tents are best in fair weather conditions, so you might need to keep an eye on the tent and make sure it's well pegged out in variable conditions.

G'day Geoff,

The Bellbird Glamping Tent isn't really designed to be used with a woodburning stove. Theoretically, you could make some alterations to the tent but this would obviously be at your own risk, and we wouldn't recommend it sorry.

G'day Conrad,

The Bellbird Glamping Tent is a polyester tent with a 2000mm waterhead rating, so it's not canvas, but it will keep you dry with no need for an extra fly. We have only had positive reviews of this tent, so we're pretty sure you'll be happy too!

G'day Conrad,

The Bellbird Glamping Tent has a polyester fly material, so as long as it is dry when you pack it up you shouldn't have a problem with mould.

G'day Mic,

G'day Jennie,

The Bellbird Glamping tent will have enough space for your queen and single bed, you'll just have to set them up either side of the centre pole. Gas stoves cannot be used inside a tent due to the carbon monoxide they produce. The only stove you can safely use inside a tent would be an electric stove (if you have a powered site).  

G'day Rachel,

Yes, the Bellbird Glamping Tent is waterproof, the material has a 2000mm waterhead rating, you can read more about waterhead ratings here.

G'day Atticus,

Yes, the Bellbird Glamping Tent comes with all guy ropes and pegs pictured.

G'day Suzy,

Special order items are ordered in from our suppliers when we receive your order, so you're looking at 7-9 business days for it to reach our warehouse then we'll get it sent back out to you straight away. Just remember to add the transit time from us to you onto this for the total expected timeframe. 

G'day Tenners,

We don't have a display model pitched at the moment so I wasn't able to test this out for you sorry. But looking at the dimensions and the video I can't see a problem fitting a queen airbed in. The 'double high' models might bring you a little bit close to the tent walls but should still work. The popular options we sell would be the Coleman Queen Double High Quickbed and Pump and the Coleman Quickbed Airbed Queen. You'll just need to work around that centre pole so I'd recommend setting up as they have in the video with the bed up against the back of the tent. 

G'day Kong,

Thanks so much for your input! We really appreciate your feedback. It's great to know a queen airbed will fit nicely with plenty of space left over.
