OZtrail Easy Fold Stretcher Tent Single

G'day Rafael,

Whilst the roof of this stretcher tent is mesh, the only parts that can be unzipped are the two side entrances.  There's no zipped option on the roof mesh, however it should be fine enough that it wont ruin the view too much.

G'day Siobhan,

That's a great question!  We don't have that information from Oztrail, and we don't currently have any of these on display.  What I do have here is Ben, whos in the videos, and I've just measured his leg to give us a height reference.
I'm feeling pretty confident that the stretcher is 45cm high, and this is a pretty standard height across most brands.  The edge of the stretcher is a bar which will give them something solid to push off - so I don't think you'd have any issues there. 
There's no mattress in the tent itself, more just a lightly padded stretcher material, so the addition of a self-inflating mattress will add a bit of height as well - if that's something they'd like to do.  Check out some of our other Q&A responses for mattress recommendations.

G'day Daryl,

Oztrail do a nice light Hiker Fly that may do the trick, but it doesn't come with an official waterhead rating.  If you set it up on an angle it should do the trick with rain running off, or you could just go with a good old tarp.

G'day Richard,

No, they cant.  The mesh panels in the Oztrail Stretcher tent are fixed, or stitched onto the tent body itself.  The zips only allow access in and out of the tent, and for the panels to be rolled up.
"No-See-Um" mesh is essentially a brand name as opposed to a specific product, like "Gortex" for example, so Oztent do use their own superfine mesh on their tents and stretchers.  They'll both do essentially the same job.

G'day Pauline,

The rated weight capacity for the stretcher tent is 150kg.

G'day Maureen,

Generally, we recommend going for the Single size as this will fit and give you plenty of comfort. The King Single does just fit, but it's a bit of a tight squeeze that puts unnecessary pressure on the material. 

G'day Maureen,

It's really up to you, and what your budget is, however, we find that most people opt for a 10cm self-inflating mattress. A few popular models we've tried out for size are the Exped Megamat 10LXW, Zempire Monstamat and Black Wolf Super Deluxe 

You can't physically join then together, Mark, they would just need to sit side by side.

I guess you could use some cord or straps to secure the frame in places where they meet, but it's still going to be two separate shelters.

G'day Sherwin,

The feet might sink into the sand a little, but it should still work well, you might need to find a way to secure it down though so it doesn't blow away in the wind.

G'day Trevor,

There isn't a double version of the Easy Fold Stretcher Tent, but Oztrail do make the Ultimate All Weather Queen Stretcher, which has some similarities.

G'day Lachlan,

We've just measured it up for you and internally they are 196cm x 78cm, so I'll get that update on the website. The 198cm is possible with a bit of pressure to create full tension on the fabric. I think you'll just fit, but you might have to tuck your feet up a little.

G'day Matt,

We've tried out the Exped Megamat 10LXW, Zempire Monstamat and Black Wolf Super Deluxe in the Easy Fold Stretcher Tent and they all fit comfortably. They are all bonded and have a  reasonably high R-value.

G'day Amanda,

The Easy Fold Stretcher Tent doesn't come in double size, but the Ultimate All Weather Stretcher comes in a Queen Size. 

G'day Jarrod,

The Easy Fold Stretcher doesn't have any holes to peg through in the feet but you can generally fit a larger peg up over the footplate. The unit is supplied with some pegs for the guy ropes that will help keep the unit secure.

G'day Sam,

We've tried the Exped Megamat 10LXW inside the Easy Fold Stretcher tent and they do fit, albeit a little squished, but yes you can fit them and comfortably sleep in the luxury!

G'day Jeff,

The Oztrail Easy Fold Stretcher Tent doesn't come with a mattress, but there are a few good options you can pop in them. The Black Wolf Super Deluxe Camp Mat fits perfectly if you're after something self-inflating. Alternately you could put any foam mat in them as long as they're less than 67cm wide.

G'day Darren,

I've just had a chat with one of the staff here that owns an Easy Fold Stretcher Tent and she's suggested that it can be done with the fly attached, but it makes it much, much more difficult. So if you're looking to simplify things, I'd stick with doing the inner and outer separately as it sounds like it's the easier method.
