RIDGE POLE SWAGS

It’s not a new concept, but one that simplifies set-up and pack-up. It also offers greater internal volume, with no tapering at the waist and legs, whilst remaining compact in transit like a traditional swag.

What’s really important in a ridge-pole design, is the quality of materials. A genuine 420gsm poly-cotton canvas gives the swag structural integrity in the dome to minimize drooping. The base is constructed of a 600gsm PVC, but again here what really matters is the height of the base, which wraps 100mm up the swag walls. This depth is what protects you and the mattress from ground water seepage in inclement weather.

Let’s talk mattresses! This is no eggshell mattress with a deceptive height to density ratio, we’re talking a full 70mm high density foam mattress; there’ll be no
peas felt here princess!

Protection from bugs and insects is provided through a sandfly-proof mesh on all windows, and windows are plenty with full length access on both sides of the swag. Rolling up the poly-cotton access doors reveals a 180-degree view of the night’s sky, while at both the head and foot ends are zipped access to meshed windows for improved airflow.

A great feature of the Ironman 4×4 Ridge Pole Swag is the included awning poles, which allow you to transform the swags entry flap into an awning for increased shelter from rain and frost. Additionally, each swag is sold with a complementary PVC shoe storage cover to keep your swag clean and your boots dry!

The swags also come with a full set of guy ropes to tension out the rain flaps at each end as well as the awning poles, however, given the type of design, the swag can be set-up free standing without guy ropes in dry and calm conditions.

Ironman 4×4 swags come complete with a canvas carry bag.
