Roundhouse

Welcome to your home-from-home under canvas. The Roundhouse opens the door to spontaneous weekend escapes or extended getaways—where you wake to the scent of fresh air and spend evenings sharing stories around the fire. It’s the kind of tent that invites you to linger—when you could’ve left already.

Let the Adventure Begin

• Breathable Polycotton Comfort – 100 % organic cotton blend keeps things cool in the sun and snug at night, reducing condensation and making every breath fresher.

• Room to Breathe – With a 3 m footprint and 2 m peak height, there’s plenty of space to stretch out, sort gear, or simply lounge in peace.

• All-Weather Ready – Tough 400D PU floor, steel poles, and UV-resistant fabric stand up to rain, wind, and years of use.

• Quick and Simple Pitch – One central pole and a tensioned guy system mean you can be up and settled in under 15 minutes.

Wild Simplicity & Performance

The Roundhouse is rooted in the classic bell tent design—a structure perfected over centuries for good reason. One pole, one peg pattern, one seriously strong shell. The breathable polycotton canvas cuts down on condensation and flaps less in wind, while the PU groundsheet keeps things dry and sealed. The A-frame door adds usable entrance height, and optional inner tent makes for a warm, bug-free sleeping space. Whether it’s a weekend of wild camping or a base for summer festivals, the Roundhouse makes outdoor living feel effortless.

Trusted by Tent Lifers

Don’t just take our word for it. Live For The Outdoors called it “like a luxury hotel” for campers used to lightweight tents, praising its space, breathability, and value. Outdoor journalist Rob Ganley highlighted the Roundhouse for its “quality, thoughtful details and sustainability credentials”—noting its long lifespan, strong steel frame, and solid waterproofing.

Built for the Long Haul

Made with a 35 % organic cotton blend and responsibly sourced details like wooden toggles and steel poles, the Roundhouse is designed to last. Unlike synthetic tents, it resists UV degradation and wears in—not out. And because it's from Alpkit, it's backed by our 3-year warranty, supported by our in-house repair team, and made with our B Corp commitment to low-impact, high-integrity gear.

Designer's Notes

In many ways, polycotton canvas is the perfect tent fabric. As well as its unrivaled breathability, polycotton canvas is much more resistant to deterioration by UV rays. This extends the Roundhouse’s lifespan well beyond a nylon or polyester equivalent – up to 4 times longer in fact. - Rowan, Design Tech
