Vintage Army Tent hire from Over The Moon Tents

These retro vintage green army tents are very familiar from festivals, film and TV. Indeed this tent was used as a prop in the film 'Hippie Hippie Shake' starring Sienna Miller. Similar ones appeared in the TV series 'Band Of Brothers'. The military tent's retro looks are very popular. They also lend themselves to safari/bush/'Out Of Africa' themed events. Attendance at a 1940's themed cricket match is planned for the marquee this season.

We keep the tent's well maintained, waterproofed and the military's high standards mean that they are still going strong some 50+ years later. If you love the smell of canvas this tent is for you. The tents are dark inside due to the green fabric, they do have roll up windows which let light in (see pics in our gallery). The low ceiling and 5ft walls make it a cosy tent when full with people. The tents have an atmosphere all of their own and are great when added to an event. The tents have played a big part in making some great events.

Image shows tent with 4 sections

• The military tent is sectional and the length can be made to the size you require.
• For use as a dining tent the most efficient seating is to use rectangular tables and benches style along the tent's length.
• The rule of thumb for seating area is to allow 1.5msq for each seated person. Using benches will reduce this to 1msq.

Suggested Floor plan with all 6 sections and long tables with dining approx 100.

• The tent is 6.5m/20ft wide
• In its smallest size it is 7m/24ft x 6m/20ft which gives an area of 48msq/480ftsq. Enough for approx 30 standing or 20 dining.
• We have four additional sections each of which adds 10ft/3m in length. When added the tent is longer while the width remains at 20ft
• In its largest size it is 6m/20ft x 21m/70ft which gives an area of 108msq/1200ftsq. Enough for approx 150 standing or 100 dining.
• The walls at the edge are approx 1.50cm/5ft high
• The ceiling is 3.6m/12ft high
• When erected the ropes will mean that the area covered is approx 9.3m/32ft wide, and 3m/10ft will be added to the length.
• There is standing room for approximately 30, or 24 seated in each section. These figures are just a guide and will depend on factors such as decor, lighting and furnishings.

	5ft Circular Tables in Marquee. Each table can take upto 8 people seated. There are pictures of the marquee being used for dining in our gallery. See adjacent link		Click to see Military/Festival Tent Gallery
