The 4m Fireproof Bell Tent offers more than just space – it’s built for true outdoor comfort. With its fire-retardant canvas and pre-installed stove hole, you can safely cook on a stove and stay warm inside without worrying about open flames or cold nights. The heavy-duty zipped-in PVC groundsheet provides a bathtub effect, keeping you dry even on waterlogged pitches. Mesh doors and windows protect against bugs while ensuring airflow. Its breathable cotton fabric regulates temperature, preventing stuffiness in summer and condensation in winter.
Setting up this bell tent is simple and takes around 15 minutes with one person. Insert the spring-loaded centre pole and A-frame, peg the base, and tighten the guy ropes for stability. If using a stove, fit the pipe securely through the pre-installed stove hole with flap. To pack down, take out all the pegs, release the poles, and fold everything neatly into the PVC-lined carry bag.
Sleeps up to 4–6 people comfortably
Fits a double bed + 2 singles OR multiple roll mats
Spacious enough for furniture and stove setup
Finding a durable and long-lasting bell tent is not an easy task. With so many options available in the market nowadays, customers can get confused while making a choice. For newbies, a simple decision of going with a 4m or 5m cotton canvas bell tent can be a difficult decision.
So, how do you decide which one to go for? For smaller families and friends going on a camping or glamping trip with three to four of you, a 4m cotton canvas bell tent is a great option.
A 4m Bell Tent – What Makes It a Good Choice
Don't think that staying in a cotton canvas bell tent won't allow you to experience nature — not with our bell tents. Our heavy-duty cotton canvas bell tents allow you to enjoy the outdoors like never before.
Say goodbye to cramped tents! With the 4m bell tent, you can now install your very own stove inside. No more cold mornings or unsafe campfires just to make tea or coffee. This fireproof shelter includes a stove hole for your flue pipe, allowing you to cook safely inside your fire-retardant bell tent while staying warm and cosy. It even features a flap to cover the hole if you decide not to use a stove.
What to Expect – Proban Fire Retardancy
The 4m fire-retardant bell tent is not only fireproof but also waterproof and mould-resistant. Before the material even goes through weaving, it’s treated with Proban fire chemicals, mould-resistant properties, and waterproofing agents — preventing any blockage or breathability issues. This ensures the canvas can breathe while maintaining its strength and integrity, even under exposure to flame.
Stove Hole – Cook in Style
Don't let cold or rainy weather spoil your mood. The biggest challenge in glamping is unpredictable weather — especially on chilly evenings or during winter camping trips.
With the bell tent stove hole, you can easily take a small stove and have it installed in minutes. The fireproof design ensures cooking inside your tent is safe and secure. Please note: The stove is sold separately.
Lightweight – Carry It Along!
The lightweight and packable 4m bell tent is ideal for those always on the move. Weighing only 29kg, it’s one of our lightest models!
Whether you’re travelling or setting up at home, the 100% cotton canvas makes transport easy. The thick two-handle carry bag eliminates the need for extra storage gear. The centre pole is foldable and spring-loaded, preventing damage and making setup and packing quick and simple.
Resistant – Water, Weather, Mould, and Grime!
When you're outdoors, nothing ruins a trip faster than moisture or leaks. Our bell tents are built for durability and longevity — even in unpredictable weather. The breathable canvas ensures humidity is minimised once the tent is zipped shut, keeping your interior comfortable and dry.
Four meshed half-moon windows and apex vents provide excellent airflow, reducing stuffiness and ensuring a great night’s sleep no matter the weather. Rain, snow, or shine — this tent is ready for anything.
Groundsheet – A Feeling of Comfort
The heavy-duty 540gsm PVC groundsheet gives your tent a sturdy, responsive feel in all conditions. It can be unzipped from the canvas to create a floating effect, allowing you to roll up the sides and let in a summer breeze on hot days.
The raised edges form a bathtub design, ensuring you stay dry even when the ground is waterlogged — no water can enter, even in standing puddles.
Mosquito Mesh – No More Pests
The front door and all vents feature mosquito mesh to keep out unwanted insects while maintaining ventilation. The windows can be opened or closed with or without mesh, giving you complete control over airflow and privacy.
Features – Wrapping Up
There are additional lighting options to enhance your setup — from chandeliers to LED centre pole lights. Easily attach them to the pole hook or use the pole itself for hanging.
Every bell tent includes built-in inner tent connections, allowing you to attach an inner bedroom for extra warmth and privacy. The inner can be opened up fully during the day or divided into two smaller sleeping areas at night.

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Bell Tent waterproof and mold resistant ?
Yes and Yes. All Bell Tents when new need to be weathered. What this means is the cotton sometimes lets small amounts of water through the seams when straight out the bag. (nothing to worry about though) Once the canvas has been wet once, this will seal for life, expanding the cotton and creating a completely waterproof tent.
All bell tents have been treated with a mould, rot & water repellent, it's always a good idea to keep treating your Bell Tent after a few seasons.
Do the Bell Tents have a detachable zipped in groundsheet?
YES 100%... It's a fantastic feature on all our Bell Tents. The groundsheet when attached is completely waterproof and is made of 540gsm heavy-duty PVC.
Can I fit a stove in my Bell Tent?
Yes you can our Highlander stoves are perfectly designed for our Bell Tents, just choose the option on the Bell Tent product page, add the stove and don't forget your fire mat.
Do I need a fireproof Bell Tent with a stove?
We sell most of our fireproof Bell Tent's to the trade market. The stove hole in our normal Bell Tent's have a fireproof surround, the flue never actually touches the canvas as it is held by the flashing kit. We would always recommend a fireproof bell tent with any stove.
What is an inner tent and do I need one?
It's basically a bedroom in a tent. Do you need one? It's all down to preference. It can keep you warmer in the evening, hide away all your bedding in the day or just keep you separate from everyone else.
It can be opened up completely in the day time so you don't loose half the room, used as one big room or two smaller rooms with it's partition.
Do I get a warranty or certification with my bell tent?
All our canvas Bell Tents have a SGS certification and come with 12 month manufacturer's guarantee against manufacturing defects.
How long does it take to put up a bell tent and is it easy?
First time putting up a bell tent... 20min. Second time putting up a bell tent.... 15min. After that, it's literally a 10min job.

Can I track my order?
Yes, add a mobile number E-mail or both at checkout, and we will update you with all tracking information needed.
Do I need to weather my Bell tent?
All new bell tents need to be weathered/seasoned, which means they need to get wet! You can do this by hosing down the bell tent completely. You can also have a test run by pitching the tent and letting the bell tent get completely saturated by either rain or even a morning’s due.
This will make sure your bell tent is weathered and completely watertight in heavy rain. There is a waterproofing agent that is applied to the canvas before it is woven, and it is this that needs to be soaked into the canvas whilst also expanding the fibers
sealing the bell tent.
Can I leave my Bell Tent up all year?
Having a Bell Tent up all year especially in the garden is a brilliant idea, just make sure you keep on top of keeping it clean and making sure the doors are open on the days you are not using it to prevent moisture build up.
Is the wind our friend?
Yes it is, and storm Brian back in 2017 is why we say this. But too much wind is always risky. Bell Tents have kept to the same design for a very long time and for good reason, they are extremely aerodynamic. They can tackle harsh weather fronts where a normal tent would not, but they are not designed for extreme weather conditions as all the weight and tension is all on the centre pole.
To make sure you get through those windy days just keep adjusting the guy ropes, making sure the pegs are secure and keep the centre pole straight.
We would not recommend camping in wind gusts over 40km/h and taking down any awnings on any windy days is a good idea.
How long will delivery take?
24 - 48 hours
How long does it take for my order to arrive?
All our bell tents and most of our products are collected from us the same they are ordered, tracked with next day delivery. For shipping into Europe delivery can take 5-7 days.
