The Base Camp Awning is a specialized addition exclusively designed for the Uchi Tent & Tsuku Base Tent. This awning extends your living space by attaching to the main pole of either tent, presenting a unified living and sleeping area. Crafted from the same robust Canvo™ fabric as the Uchi Tent & Tsuku Base Tent, it ensures a consistent appearance while providing a shaded refuge, and is less susceptible to burn holes from campfire sparks.
Its distinctive V-shaped design effectively prevents rain from entering at the connection point, maintaining a dry and comfortable environment. This awning is complete with three poles, simplifying the setup process when paired with the Uchi Tent & Tsuku Base Tent. It's also versatile enough to be used independently as a stand-alone shelter if desired.
Canvo™ is a mix of cotton and polyester. Compared to polyester, Canvo™ provides a superior camping experience. The material breathes so the tent does not become humid, it’s quieter in the wind, and it’s more durable. Canvo™ is commonly used for tents in Europe and Japan. It is used less commonly in North America due to the cost. In an effort to introduce Canvo™ tents to the North American market, DOD is offering our line of Canvo™ tents at prices competitive to polyester tents. You can learn more about Canvo™ tents here.

Polycotton tents provide a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to release humidity and insulate to keep in warmth. Polycotton tents are also durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton that is 60-70% polyester, 30-40% cotton.
As a mix of synthetic and natural fiber - polycotton possesses the best characteristics of both. Synthetic tents don’t breathe, so they become humid when occupied overnight. And synthetic fabrics tear and melt more easily than natural fabrics. Synthetics have almost no ability to hold warmth. At the other end of the spectrum, all-cotton tents are comfortable, durable, and hold warmth but they are heavy and bulky. They also require treatment to achieve waterproofness. Polycotton tents are comfortable, durable, waterproof, and hold warmth without being heavy and bulky.
Polycotton tarps offer a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to allow air circulation and are durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton composed of 60-70% polyester and 30-40% cotton.
As a blend of synthetic and natural fibers, polycotton combines the best characteristics of both materials. Synthetic fabrics are prone to tearing and melting more easily than natural ones. On the other hand, all-cotton tarps, while durable and quiet, are heavy, bulky, and require regular treatment to maintain waterproofness. Polycotton tarps provide comfort, durability, waterproof qualities, and quietness without the bulkiness or heaviness.
Love it, easy to set up, versatile, and keeps the rain off no problem
The polycotton fabric feels really thick and nice. Will definitely last.
I love the olive, looks really rich and classic. I hate other camping brand weird colors.
Happy it comes with poles and attaching the awning is straightforward. Great thought out design.
The design is genius! The V makes the water run down away from the living area preventing rain from sneaking in. Very much recommend this with the Uchi tent.
