Why does it look different from all the other tents?

Your FieldCandy tent has been designed as a high performance expedition tent with classic ‘A’ frame storm tent construction. Based on the hardiest expedition tents on the market to stand up to extreme weather conditions, it will be more durable and waterproof than most others on the market.

Can I order a flysheet only?

Separate designer flysheets are not available to purchase on our website; however, additional flysheets can be purchased from us by previous customers, for further details email us at: hello@fieldcandy.com

Can I use my tent without putting the printed flysheet on?

No, the flysheet is the most important part of your tent to make it water and weather proof. If you are sometimes a bit shy and don’t want to make a statement every time you pitch your tent, you can purchase a plain black flysheet as an optional extra, on our website checkout page £80GBP.

Can I design my own FieldCandy tent?

How do I keep my FieldCandy tent looking good?

With normal careful use your FieldCandy tent should last for many, many years.

  • Take your tent down when it is not in use, and store as advised below.
  • Periodically treat all zips with a silicon spray especially after use in sandy or dusty conditions.
  • Tent poles should be dried and occasionally wiped with silicon spray.
  • Clean your flysheet with a soft brush and wipe off stains with a cloth and mild soap solution.
  • If needed wash the inner tent in warm water and mild soap. Rinse carefully and dry thoroughly before packing away.

What is the best way to pack my tent away?

To reduce mildew, your tent is treated with Ultra-Fresh an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent. However, always ensure that your entire tent is completely dry before packing it away. Always store your dry tent in a cool, dry place. If space permits hang it open rather than folded to allow good air circulation.
