Shelter Box Tents for Emergency Relief

This is a Shelter Box Tent. The Church works with Shelter Box to provide instant housing for refugees and victims of disasters. These pop-up homes can house a family of five. We had one on display during our Open House events this week. They really are amazing.

You can learn more about them here.

These tents protect from:

1. Wind
ShelterBox tents are tested in winds up to 100kmh where, even without guy ropes, they remain sturdy.

2. Rain
The high spec, waterproof outer keeps the interior dry, even in driving rains.

3. Stress
Flexible tent poles reduce damage from impact and are designed to be pitched and taken down again several times to allow families to be flexible with where they settle.

4. Heat
A reflective exterior shields from UV light, while ventilation windows allow the breeze to roll in.

5. Cold
When paired with the winterised tent liner, they can help protect against the freezing cold.

The tents are equipped with a small table, a couple of chairs, a vented cooking stove, a saw for cutting wood, and the Church helps provide some basic food supplies.
