More than just a tent

More than just a tent

De Waard is renowned for its quality. 

Largely handmade from world leading Tencate fabrics, the De Waard difference starts with its cotton-polyester canvas. This natural looking fabric sits perfectly in any landscape, and unlike its PVC rivals, allows the tent to breathe naturally, creating a comfortable environment that can then be enhanced by traditional heating and cooling methods. 

But why is De Waard more than just a tent? It’s because they stand behind their promise of quality. If the canvas is damaged or not up to standard, simply send it back to De Waard and they will repair the canvas for free, in some circumstances as many as 40 years later!

De Waard History

The origin of De Waard lies in 1948. Machiel de Waard, a sailmaker for the Royal Navy, designed his first tent at campsite de Lepelaar: The Albatros #1. In the need for a tent that does not blow over he started drawing on the back of an envelope. The tent was designed in a shape that could withstand powerful gusts and offer a pleasant shelter for a family. Until this moment tents were square shaped. The Dutch Autoclub ANWB therefore of as “that crazy tent from De Waard”.

In that period it was custom to dig trenches around the tent to prevent water coming in. As a solution for this, De Waard introduced a waterproof sewn-in groundsheet underneath the complete tent.

Now, 70 years later, the Albatros still exists. Throughout the years the tent saw alterations for the changing needs. In 2015 the Albatros #4 was introduced. A tent with all the features like the original design but altered in size and functionality to make it suitable for this day and age. It did not stay with just the Albatros for very long. Over and over again we introduce new designs, each one unique but equal in certain features. It is our passion to produce tents of exceptional quality and this will never change. For a De Waard tent we carefully select the best and most durable materials and raw materials. With a great deal of attention our craftsmen mainly hand-make these tents out of those materials. This combination of the best materials and craftsmanship make our tents extremely strong.
