New "Under the Weather" Tipi Tent from China has NO PVC toxic smell (unlike the other tent of same silver-lined material and tipi design): The Anti-Fire Hole as stove jack!

 Wow - the factory lady told me that I should not cancel the order since there is no PVC in the "silver-lined" material and also they already spent a lot of money on shipping. Sure enough the tent box had some 200 stamps on it from China! I've never seen so many stamps on ONE item being mailed!


Wow - the last tent of the SAME design - when I opened the bag - I was immediately overwhelmed by the strong PVC toxic fumes. This one had NO PVC fumes at all! So it must by ONLY Polyethylene plus the nano-silver lining! I'm so happy.


And the lady from the factory said I was not being polite by canceling my order because they had already paid a lot for shipping and it was waiting at the shipping dock (probably buried in a pallet). Sure enough - TONS of stamps - about 200 stamps!!


So I sent her a message to thank her and say that she was correct - NO PVC was used in the tent. I am very happy.

I told her that I will tell the world that her factory's Tipi Tent, even though the SAME design as other silver-lined tipi winter hot tents - has NO PVC smell while the OTHER tipi tents DO have the toxic PVC smell (at least the other one I got).

So apparently you can decide what kind of "silver-lined" material you want to use - it's not just a PVC-polyethylene "mix" as I had thought. There is a choice.

AMazingly the factory must have stopped making the tent!

Says - sorry not available anymore.

 I contacted the seller again to ask what happened...

My guess was the price was so much lower than the other tents of the SAME design.

I got it for almost 50% of the normal price.

the company brand switched to "protective pods" due to the pandemic.

So the company that made the tent has a very funny and strange photo for their promotion of the tent:

 

4 5 6 Person Pentagon Pyramid Flamming Teepee Shelter Tent Car Tent Hiking Awning Party Pergola Outdoor Camping Army Relief Tent


This was translated into English as the "Anti-Fire" hole.


So for some reason that appear to think the fire is supposed to "fly" out of the stove jack? 

This, of course, would be completely dangerous to do - so why did they keep this photo in their promotional? Very strange and hilarious!

Please note,"hole" in the color selections,means the anti fire chimney hole.

So this is the SAME tent but on Amazon it's literally twice the price that I got it for - I paid $170 (including shipping). They want  $370.

Oh wait - this is the size that I got - so they want $230. So I got it for about 1/3rd less.

 Hello dear friend, now the factory has too much orders to delay, this tent always out of stock, once out of stock, we need wait for long time, so we take it down, hope you can understand, thank you.
