Cabanon tents right here in the UK!



Here at IBEX Camping we are delighted to be stockists for Cabanon having a special place in our hearts , Cabanon are the brand we started our family Camping Adventures with. As we approach Valentines Day we thought we'd share a few great facts about Cabanon tents and why we love the brand. Great Quality  tents designed to give many , many years of camping trips and just a little ecofriendly too having a much lower carbon footprint than other brands. 

So a little about the history of Cabanon Tents , established in 1959 Cabanon offer a range of Breathable and Waterproof Cotton Canvas frame tents , pyramid tents and Bell Tents too! 


The Cabanon Espace Tent is probably one of the most recognisable tents in the Cabanon range , very reminiscent of tents from years gone by , still going strong with a few up to date  enhancements such as the zipped in Groundsheet .... no draughts! 

We particularly love the design of the Cabanon Barbados tent , a 4 person Pyramid Style Tent with a small covered porch area ... the colours are great too! 

Just a little more Eco Friendly thanks to Cabanons low carbon footprint compared to other brands ... all of the components for each Cabanon tents are made in France with some fabrics being sourced from around Europe , Holland , Belgium and Germany. ... 80% of the Fabrics used in Cabanon Tents are made in France!  

So what about the frames .... all the Frames for each of the Cabanon tents are made in house by Cabanon. 

Each tent is handmade by skilled machinists in the Cabanon factory in Dunkerque , where they have a 10,000m² manufacturing site , once restrictions change we are very much looking forward to visiting Cabanon :) 


Being very much a 'handmade' company Cabanon have manufacturing schedules to ensure that the stock is available throughout the season , we are delighted to stock a core range from Cabanon Tentsright here at our premises in Little Paxton.  Some of the larger family tents especially the Cabanon Espace are ordered in just for you , with varying lead times throughout the season ...
 
A tip from the Team @ IBEX Camping ... when choosing a larger Cabanon tent it may be worth thinking a little earlier to ensure we can pop your tent in the manufacturing schedule for you. 




Thinking of choosing a Cotton Canvas Cabanon tent there are a few useful points to bear in mind... Camping under cotton canvas is very different to Polyester , they have a much more  snug feel being a little more temperature regulating (warmer in cooder weather ...Cooler in warmer weather) they are a little more comforatble too!  It's always worth remembering that being cotton canvas they are heavier and larger in pack size than polyester equivalent tents ... also more importantly Cotton Canvas tents need to be pitched to dry  ... a larger enough garden or a friendly local campsite are needed if you have to pack down in the rain! 

Our friendly Family Team of Experienced Campers are always happy to answer any questions you may have to ensure you choose the correct tent for your next Camping Adventure.
