CEC: Tents4Haiti relief effort - latest results!




Hey guys. 


 I just got back from Port-au-Prince, and here are a couple pictures of a some Osiris tents we put up at an outdoor orphanage there. 


Also shown are some of the kids in new dresses the Mission provided them. 


These replaced a series of "pup" tents that were leaking. 


 The 2 tents can sleep about 40 (of the 52) kids. 


 Rained one of the nights and, of course, the tents performed perfectly. 


I've got more pictures that I'll send of the tents and the entire trip once I get caught up.


Thanks for helping to make this happen... we couldn't have done it without CEC and Great Lakes Camping Supply.


-Joe


P.S. Andrew, I plan to post one of these with a short write up on your facebook page if that's okay.

CEC customer service: Questions and Answers, FAQ

Hi Travis, thanks for your recent voicemail enquiry

Here is the link to the category description regarding the Big Family Tents where you will find the Como:

Here is the link to the category description regarding the Premium grade tents:

Customers who purchase the Como like it because you can take it apart ie the inner tents, ground sheet and rain fly are all detachable for easy cleaning and set up

However, some customers prefer to have a tent that is all one piece ie fully sewn in tub style floor and you will find this feature in the Premium tent section

Premium tents also include
PVC poles vs fibreglass (Big family tents)
larger ABS tent stakes vs zinc plated steel (BFT's)
large PP webbing straps for much stronger tension vs conventional woven nylon guy lines (BFT's)

Premium grade tents are a revamped version of our most popular BFT's which include many features that our customers requested and decision making trends we noticed when customers purchased some tents over others

If your main concern is a tent that will stand up to severe wind driven rain and possible water ingress, you should consider a Premium grade tent

If your focus is a tent that is easier to clean and take apart, you should consider a Big Family Tent

Hope that gives you some idea of the differences but if you have other questions, don't hesitate to ask!
