Mercury tent rain test

Here at the CEC, we appreciate the importance of a tent that stands up to heavy rain and strong winds.

Utah tent rain test

While on the one hand we methodically test fabric strength and waterproofness in our lab using specially designed equipment, we also like to test our materials under more practical conditions, the kind of conditions you would use them in if you went camping with the family or friends

That's why we take a lot of time to test the waterproofing of each new design under a high pressure sprinkler system we rigged up at our production facility

Ajax tent heavy snow test

It's also important to test the tensile strength of the poles and we couldn't think of a better way to do this than to put our test subject through an entire Canadian winter! All winter long the tent stood outside in the wind driven rain which soon became piles of heavy snow on the fabric and mounting pressure on the poles.

Our Ajax tent kept its shape the entire time without a drop of moisture penetrating the fabric to the interior of the tent!

Now you may not be heading over to Mount Everest with the kids for the weekend, but it is nice to know that if some unforeseen storm hits, you can rely on your CEC tent to keep standing and keep you dry

CEC FAQ: MARS 6 person family camping dome tent

Customer questions, CEC answers

Hi Marcus,

 

1. All of the doors built into the rain fly on all CEC tents zip close and have a dual mesh screen and full fabric door so that you can have air flow with the mesh screen or full weather protection and privacy with the full fabric door

 

2. The Mars tent is part of our Premium grade tents that have the rain fly and the tub style waterproof floor fully sewn together to prevent water ingress - read the full details on this series here

Best Regards,

Andrew

Re: MARS 6 person family camping dome tent Hi,  From the photo's that are on your website could you tell me how the doors on this tent that I can see open actually close up. Do they zip up for insect and weather protection?  I need a tent that will be fully enclosed (floors and walls and the doors) once closed up. Firstly I require this as we are taking a small pet with us and I need to ensure that he cannot escape once the tent is closed up and secondly for weather protection. We are going to a place that has a high amount of wind and rain. If you could get back to me on these questions before I purchase this tent that would be greatly appreciated.  If it is suitable then I would like to purchase this or perhaps another fully enclosed tent on Friday.  Thanks

Spare Parts in stock!

For customers who purchased (or are thinking of purchasing) any item from our Premium Tent range, you now have the option of purchasing spare pole parts for your tent

All models under our Premium Tent category use our proprietary pole system which employs a standardized set of PVC sections in various combinations to create all of the various frame configurations you see listed in that category

At any time, you can purchase individual units or multiple sets depending on your requirements

Unlike other tents that use complete sets of pre-shaped tent poles, tents within CEC's Premium Tent range are individual, modular components that are uniform across all tents in the category which makes it far easier for you, the user, to acquire spare parts

When you consider that tent poles provide the framework and bear the weight of the structure and are often uncovered by the warranty program offered by most retailers and other brand manufacturers, having access to exact parts can often mean the difference between using your tent to its fullest extent or getting only half the benefit after Frankensteining a frame together with random objects...
