Although every CanvasCamp tent is fully waterproof and treated for mould and UV resistance, adding a Fly creates an additional layer of defense. Acting as a permanent double-roof it offers the best protection in all weather conditions and against all elements, while still allowing the canvas underneath to breathe naturally.
Made from military-grade polycotton and suited for long term use, the Fly protects your tent from organic debris such as falling leaves, sap, and bird droppings — all of which can stain and damage canvas over time. It also blocks up to 90% of harmful UV rays, slowing the natural wear of protective canvas treatments and helping your tent last for years.
Essential when camping under trees, the Fly ensures your bell tent stays clean, dry, and in excellent condition.Â
For added versatility, the All Season Fly can also be pitched on its own as a freestanding sunshade or open lounge shelter — ideal for quick setups when you don’t need the full Sibley Bell Tent.
The All Season Fly is a must-have accessory for anyone who wants to protect their tent, extend its lifespan, and enjoy extra comfort in all weather conditions. It is the very best protection without sacrificing the iconic look of the Bell tent.Â
The All Purpose Fly offers protection against:Â
Rain - 100% waterproof
'Dirt' - keeps dead leaves, resin, bird droppings, and other debris off your tent.
UV radiation - protects against the harmful effects of UV radiation. This keeps the coating in the fabric longer and increases the life of the tent.
Insulation - warmer in winter and cooler in summer, check! The fly creates an extra layer between the tent and the outside air. This helps regulate the temperature inside the tent.
Durable Materials: Fabric & Coating
The All Season Fly’s are manufactured from Tentex® PC39. The fabric is made from ring-spun yarn, woven in a very dense twill weave (duck woven) and is extremely strong and durable due to the applied coating, while remaining very comfortable in all weather conditions and throughout all seasons. Suitable for intensive / professional use.

The All Season Fly’s are treated with a German-made, oil-based coating to be UV resistant, fade resistant, water repellent, fire-resistant, and mould and rot resistant while maintaining breathability. What you don't see does make a difference: the coating is incorporated deep into the fibres before production, which significantly extends the life and performance of the canvas, without losing its breathability. The Fly’s are also fire-retardant according to CPAI-84
