Sibley Apex 500 | 16'5" Heavy-Duty Canvas Glamping Tent

About The Sibley Apex 500

16'5" Diameter · 211 SQ FT · Up to 8 Guests · Four-Season Design

The Sibley Apex 500 is a spacious, professional-grade canvas glamping tent designed for long-term setups, backyard retreats, hospitality, rentals, events, and four-season outdoor living.

With approximately 211 square feet of interior space and room for up to eight people, the Apex 500 provides a generous footprint with plenty of room for comfortable sleeping arrangements, furniture, lounge areas, and premium guest accommodations.

Constructed from heavy-duty Tentex® TC30 technical polycotton, the Apex combines the comfort and breathability of natural cotton canvas with the durability required for intensive use.

A specialized weather-resistant coating provides protection against UV exposure, fading, moisture, mold, and rot while preserving the natural breathability of the canvas.

Its 360° retractable sidewalls allow the tent to transition from a fully enclosed shelter into an open-air pavilion, shaded lounge, or gathering space.

A full 360° mesh wall system provides continuous airflow and insect protection even when the outer canvas walls are rolled up.

The removable, zip-in bathtub-style groundsheet is manufactured from heavy-duty waterproof rip-stop PVC and features raised edges designed to help protect the interior from water, mud, pests, and challenging terrain.

Designed for intensive everyday use, the Apex 500 includes heavy-duty hardware, reinforced stress points, screened windows and doors, built-in electrical cable access, integrated storage organizers, reflective guy lines, aluminum tensioners and carabiners, forged steel stakes, and a spring-loaded center pole and A-frame system.

Setup can be completed by one person in approximately 10–15 minutes.
