Heavy duty cotton canvas with aviation grade aluminum poles.
Made by Delta Canopy, sorry for the (free) product placement I want to see more of them around instead of rows of walled off RV's camps.
The ceiling
Again, a free product placement because these Lotus Belle tents are sooooo cute, see above my rant against these fortresses of RV's creating lifeless streets without interaction with the walled-off guests.
A Sibley tent, this is not the brand, just the name of the mid-19th century American Army officer who invented this type of tent.
The tents at Liquid Sky camp were custom-made in India (one camp manager told me).
In fact I found a site that manufactures this cute tents.

I like to see in every block of the city these North Pole Party Shade that thanks to a "brilliant " marketing decision were discontinued years ago. This is a really easy to setup spartan shelter that sustains the usual gusts of wind and can take a beating. Now it is a really hot item online.

On a satellite image this PnP camp has a visible huge footprint, thank to the banks of lined up RVs that kill any neighborhood interactions. No imagination.
In a walled off camp for Hollywood stars, astroturf is a really nice touch, until it rains and dries up, gluing it to the playa creating a huge MOOP Problem.
A tip from DA, Leader of the Playa restoration team: lay down the astroturf on top of a tarp to prevent a big headache for the volunteers cleaning up the playa behind the clients.
You've reached the bottom of page 3, Bravo!!!.

Thanks for the tip on the tarps under the astro turf… We worked for a day and a half raking and pulling up bits of the carpet to clean up as much as we could. We had brought many tarps and ran out in the rain and hail and covered the carpets as best we could…also learned which type of turf held together in the cleanup and which didn't. Not a camp of hollywood stars, I actually spoke to you and invited you in to take your photo of the camp before all our friends arrived each bringing their own part of the camp. delayed in their entry by the storm. If you remembered meeting me I am a 58 year old landscape designer and my friends in this camp are from all walks of life and all over the country. I did enjoy meeting you even though you forgot meeting me.
We took the Lotus Belle Outback to the Playa this year (2015). It's lovely to look at, but did not live up to expectations. Despite being told by the company in email prior to purchasing that the tent could be sealed up to prevent dust, it didn't hold up in the dust storms. There is a mesh strip where the walls meet the ceiling that can't be sealed off without extra materials and the dust just poured in. We were also surprised to hear from Lotus Belle that despite promoting the tent for Burning Man, using the tent at BRC is considered extreme weather conditions and is not advised according to their Terms & Conditions (http://lotusbelle.com/pages/terms-conditions). The company will not stand behind the tent if anything happens there. Mostly we got a lot of flack about how they were working on a Sunday and how great the tents were. The best response was the the vents point down, so it was surprising that dust was getting in. Beautiful tents for a backyard, but not sturdy enough for the Playa.
Thank you so much for your feedback about the Lotus Belle. I have seen a lot them this year ,2015, all around the city. I was wondering about their behavior under the storm. These are precious comments. Where did you camp at? I saw a big camp at 3@L with several of them.
Hi There, I actually co-founded Lotus Belle tents and I am a Burner. Like any company we have Terms and Conditions to protect ourselves. 2015 the weather was atrocious and we saw a nearly 1 ton geometric dome take flight and land on a Haul. Its lucky no one was killed. So YES we can't guarantee against those conditions. Never in the T's and C's does it say that taking it to the Burn will void your warranty. We are good people and take everything on a case by case basis and if our customer service was bad I never would have grown this business from selling tents out my parents garage just 4 years ago to having 3 warehouses across Australia, New Zealand and the US. We have also amassed a social media following of 130K in that time. Plenty of Burners leave comments and testimonials on there and on our website. If in doubt, check em' out! After 2015 we designed a room cocoon to help with the issue of dust getting in between the mesh between the roof and upper walls. This was a successful addition and gave an extra layer of protection. Regardless this mesh is actually a key design feature for breathability in our tents and having taken the tent to the Burn I've never had issues of dust getting in through here. Its only when the dust is "extreme" like what was experienced in 2015. If you look at the tent you will see the roof hangs over this area, so its not like its completely open. I'm glad a kind hearted customer brought this blog to my attention. So there you have it straight from the horses mouth. If anyone has any questions regarding our product at Burning Man I am always on hand 24/7 to help with queries. - Jessica Co-Founder Lotus Belle Tents USA LLC
