A viking tent I made to be used for accomodation and as a market stall. This was taken in Saltvik viking market, in Ahvenanmaa/Γ land (Finland) and in this picture it's filled with some of my random re-enactment equipment.Material: Pine, birch, cotton tent canvas

I've been looking for something like this and have found many similar things on the web; we vend at local events and the typical folding canopy just feels wrong.
Have you had any experience with this in high winds?

Last summer we were in Γ land, an island between Finland and Sweden, and we had some pretty hard gusts now and then during the trip, but the tent has handled itself really well even during hard winds. It's more of a problem if you want to have one side open all the time. Then it's essential to have it tied well to the ground with lines, but since this tent is quite small and light, the wind doesn't "collect" in the canvas as badly as in bigger tents.

Aw, I'd love to live there! (Even though I'd get rained and snowed on).
