It’s not quite the pyramids of Giza, and certainly won’t take as long to build, but this spacious four-berth tent is oozing greenness. Made from hi-tech recycled polyester fabric, the tent comes with a complete inner tent and sewn in groundsheet. It’s kept grounded by bamboo pegs, recycled guy lines, plastic buckles and webbing. We think Cleopatra would approve.
If you’re on a budget and need a tent for a weekend escape, try this two-person dome tent from Tesco direct. It features a two-layer design, has a porch with extended ground sheet, a mosquito net doorway, a waterproof flysheet, taped seams and built-in air vents. And best of all, it costs less than £20!
Why spend a fortune on a tepee at Glastonbury, when you can buy your own? The One Earth tepee is made from a mixture of ecofriendly and renewable resources, including a water-repellent flysheet, which is biodegradable and made from 65 per cent cotton. It has two doors, fully taped seams and strong steel poles – making it ideal for all your festivals and outdoor events.
If you’ve never stayed in a tent before and don’t have a clue what you need, then this tent is for you. The set includes a waterproof tent with two sleeping areas, a sheltered living area and a flysheet, plus it comes with six rectangular polyester sleeping bags, two single and two double PVC air beds. All you need now is a torch and a pair of wellies. Simples.
Get a roof over your head and keep your eco credentials in check with this service from myhab.com.

This tent could house a small village! Keeping up to 12 people, it has one sleeping area and includes a flysheet and groundsheet. Might be a good place for the kids to hang out if you’re looking for a bit of peace and quiet.
This tunnel tent is perfect for keen or regular campers. It offers lots of space to bunker down in and is pretty light in relation to its weight and size. The tunnel structure is really easy to pitch and for the eco-minded, its Protex 2000 recycled polyester flysheet is just the ticket.
