The Sibley series of canvas bell tents has been featured here on Silodrome a couple of times over the past few years and they’ve always been hugely popular. Sibley use heavy-duty cotton canvas (320 g/m²) in the construction of their tents, and before the tent is made the canvas is impregnated to proof it against dirt, ultraviolet radiation, water and fungus.
The tents come in a variety of sizes to suit different applications, you can order a large one that’ll sleep an entire family, or you can order a smaller, lighter tent that’ll comfortably sleep 4. The plastic and nylon tents for sale at most camping stores may be cheap to make and cheap to buy, but they lack the style, elegance and feel of classic 19th century camping.
Ben Branch has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, the official Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.

The Alps Mountaineering Zephyr tent is fantastic for hikers and mountain bikers, but it’s also excellent for motorcycle camping and cross country two-wheeled adventures. Hikers and moto-campers both face the same basic problem – they have very little space for equipment, and any equipment they have needs to be as light as possible. The tent…
