Our tents are heavy duty and are  designed for harsh environmentally  Our tents meet the  **ISO 5912:2011** requirements for safety, performance, and fitness for use as camping tents. Therefore we only supply army and military tents and equipment for military camps that are able to withstand the elements in very diverse environmental conditions. In the hot, blistering sun, freezing, wet weather and everything in between. ### **What We Offer?** - **Durability-** Prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays can make a textile brittle and degrade it on a molecular level. Our army tents fabrics are high-quality performance fabrics designed to resist UV damage and to block solar radiation. Giving our military tents longer use life and keep personnel and equipment better shielded from the sun’s harmful rays. - **Waterproof-**Contact with continuous, heavy rainfall and humid conditions can put personnel and equipment in jeopardy if the military tent fabric isn’t up to the task. Our fabrics are not only water-resistant but fully waterproof. - **Fire-retardant - **It is unavoidable for personnel at the military to come face to face with fire. Our army tents fabrics are specially treated to resist the outburst of a firestorm. However, it is crucial to understand that no material is completely fire-proof; at some point, any material will ignite. - **Mildew Resistant**- mildew spores can spread through the fabric, leaving behind odors and stains. This can be very unpleasant and daunting for our men and women in the force who have to live and work with the material every waking day. But not to worry as our fabrics are mold resistant designed with special chemical treatments to prevent microorganisms from ever invading! Our military and army tents have a proven record across Africa. Tarpo has supplied US State Department contractors on ACOTA, ENDF and AMISOM programs at short notice to produce high-volumes.    **Let our experts help you find the best products in your sector.** Just fill out the form below to download our sector guide: ### **Customer Testimonials** This is by far the most efficient temporary accommodation I've had the chance to stay in - comfortable, affordable, and most importantly, sustainable. Loved the showers and toilets! As we need to improve to our footprint when we gather, this is probably one of the best options I've come across in my experience designing gatherings all over the world. #### **Charles Michel** SandStorm Hi Tarpo. I bought these tents in 2009 for a ministry which we support in South Sudan. I bought them under Hope for Sudan. Almost ten years down the line, the tents are still in considerable good condition in spite of the harsh weather conditions in South Sudan. All the trees you see surrounding the tents are younger than the tent. Thank you. Eugenio. #### **Euginio** Hope For South Sudan N.G.O We were planning a camping safari to the Mara with family and had booked one of the private campsites in the Mara Triangle. As there were quite a lot of us and family were visiting from the US we wanted to make sure it was a great experience for everyone. Tarpo were a really important part of our fabulous trip. They provided all equipment for the campsite and ran the camp whilst we were there. They worked to a tight timetable to put the camp up and take it down, they ensured we had hot showers when we needed them, the campsite was kept tidy and clean, and the spacious tents and comfortable beds gave us all a good night sleep which is not always the case when camping! Tarpo also worked hand in hand with Rusty Nail who provided the catering and gave us three fabulous meals a day far exceeding our expectations. I definitely recommend them." #### **Sebastian McKinely** We, Allterrain Services Kenya Limited are pleased to recommend Tarpo Industries as the camping equipment supplier of choice.
