We’ve selected a premium PU-coated canvas to create a rooftop tent that is lighter, easier to maintain and better suited to all-round use. Compared with traditional swag-style canvas, it offers :
- Lighter overall weight
- Faster drying times
- Excellent waterproofing
- Less maintenance
- Easier cleaning
- Superior light-blocking for a darker sleeping space
- Easier replacement if the canvas is ever damaged
- & yes it also means we can make the tent more affordable
However, not all PU coatings are created equal. Our canvas blend uses a premium cross-linked PU coating, designed to expand and contract through temperature changes, helping resist cracking and deterioration over time.
The non-porous coating also provides excellent UV and colour stability while helping repel water, oils, dirt and other outdoor elements. Internally, it creates a clean, smooth finish with impressive light-blocking performance.
Every canvas has its advantages and trade-offs. Our PU-coated canvas has been specifically selected to provide an excellent balance of durability, weather protection, manageable weight and everyday convenience. Making it a dependable all-round choice for aussie campers.
