The tent that looks like a log cabin

Fancy a trip to a holiday cottage but worried about your bank balance? Igloo Products Corporation, the USA’s largest cooler manufacturer, has come upwith one idea that will get you out of the city while going easy on your wallet – a family-sized tent in the style of a log cabin. Log Cabin Lodge tent sleeps eight comfortably and has a screened-in porch so you can enjoy the outdoors without getting attacked by creepy-crawlies. The tent is patterned with a log and river print designed to give it the look and feel of the real thing. It has Igloo exclusive MaxDry weather protection system to eliminate water seepage, Cool Riser Technology—a system of lower mesh vents that draw cool air in from the base and hot air out through the roof—and UV-Ban—a specialized coating that reflects heat and harmful sun rays with an ultraviolet protection rating of 50 plus—to create the ultimate rustic luxury camping experience. The Log Cabin Lodge tent has a classic log cabin look and feel with all of the best amenities of an Igloo Outdoors tent,” says Igloo product manager Michelle Stone. “It’s perfect for a large group setting up base camp or just out for a weekend getaway.” The tent also features reflective tape that highlights the tent door at night, convenient mesh pockets and a hanging corner shelf to keep smaller items organized, water resistant tub floors designed to deflect water away from seams and easy-to-access weather-protected passage for cables. You’ll have to wait till next summer to try it out for yourself though, because the log cabin tents aren’t in stores until spring 2014, when they will retail at $249.
