8 panel LAVVU, waxed canvas & leather tent tipi tarp

A Lavvu style wax cotton canvas tent/tarp: an open sided shelter designed to allow closer fires and better views rather than being cooped up in a tent.

8 panels for supreme coverage, ideal for 2 people (but will squeeze in more) with floor space for all your kit

Measured sizing: 

The 8 panel LAVVU is, while laid flat, 9' height and 26' width, the actual size depends on how steep you pitch but a standard 6' pole gives around a 12' usable space, though this depends on pitch height, ground angles, panel pulls etc etc. this allows modified pitch styles for different weather, seasons and trips.

The 8 panel comes with 10 tie outs on the edges plus 8 panel pulls on each side all in 3mm riveted leather giving ultimate flexibility and usability above and beyond our competitors. All leather used is genuine vegetable tan and will patina / scratch up with age, the wax from the fabric maintains the leather well so shouldn't need much in the way of care. The wax cotton canvas fabric is British made 8oz + the wax, other weights available on request. 

Can be pitched under a large tripod, using a stick, dedicated tarp pole or with a ridgeline between two trees giving flexibility flexibility for different environments and how far you intend to travel. I've even pitched mine attached to a rock face via climbing equipment.

Lavvus team really well with a bivy to give protection so you don't end up  trapped in the bivy if it rains but is usable with just blankets etc if your bushcraft skills are up to it and there's a loop near top for hanging a big net from. Comes with triple stitched catenary cut edges and double fold flat felled seams so it can be pitched taught and smooth quickly and easily with minimal flapping in the wind
