Sky Tent 2: New invention protects campers from the rain - and a hard floor

The misery of camping in the great British summertime could soon be a thing of a past - provided you're prepared to hang from a tree.

An American company has developed a waterproof 'sky tent' that avoids the rain, bugs and sleeping on a cold, hard floor.

It is made from nylon parachute material and is tied up using climbing ropes or carabiners - and can help campers avoid hazards such as flooding, muddy terrain and wildlife.

The hammock cover has No-See-Um Netting surrounding the base which has a 2100 holes per square inch. It keeps out small bugs and also resists rips and tears. The netting can also reduce the wind chill factor

The Sky Tent 2's ripstop nylon base layer also helps keep in body heat and is sturdy and waterproof enough if campers want to pitch the Sky Tent on the ground. 

A Prusik knot helps support the tent but is also adjustable so campers can change the size of the Sky Tent 2's ridgeline.

Backpacks and clothes can also be hung from the hammocks rope to keep them off the ground, and secure.

Designers Dov and Brian Frazer are shown in their Sky Tent 2 on the Six Foot Track near that Blue Mountains in Sydney, Australia. Their weight is supported by the hammocks and not the surrounding tent. The hammock ropes can also be used to hang personal belongings from

The features of the Sky Tent 2. It comes with 100 inches of climbing rope that supports the rain fly. The tent itself is suspended using a separate 80inch rope

Sky Tent 2 is designed to be suspended around the hammock but it is not attached to it.

This means a camper's body weight and gear weight are supported by the sturdy hammock ropes and the tree straps, rather than onto the Sky Tent 2.

Sky Tent 2 is made by hammock designers Dov Frazer and Roslin Falk Frazer who own Hammock Bliss.

The couple say the Sky Tent 2 is a 'relaxing and unusual way to camp.

Adding: 'Sky Tent 2 is a revolution in the making, bringing hammock camping to a new level of comfort and convenience.'

The Sky Tent 2 costs £83 ($130) but doesn't include the hammocks.

While we would prefer that you use Sky Tent with a Hammock Bliss hammock, it works equally well with most any parachute nylon hammock.

The original Sky Tent, which slept one person, was introduced in August of 2011 and costs £77.

It used parachute nylon as the floor and had a fixed ridgeline.
