Inflatable Cabin
Nimbus
Inflatable Cabin
An air-beam cottage that inflates from bag to standing-height cabin in minutes — vertical walls, 8.2-foot ceiling, built-in front porch, and zero poles.
Color: Beige / Black
Why The Nimbus?
The biggest headache of family camping — solved. Replace heavy poles with pressurized air beams and get a standing-height cabin with a dedicated front porch in minutes.
Inflatable Air-Beam Frame
Pump up. Watch it rise. Walk inside.
The skeleton of the Nimbus is made of pressurized air. High-strength TPU beams replace traditional poles entirely, making setup as easy as attaching the included pump. These beams are incredibly resilient in wind — they flex rather than snap — and pop right back into shape after gusts.
Vertical "Cottage" Architecture
Stand tall in every corner. Not just the center.
Most tents are domes or pyramids that lose usable space near the edges. The Nimbus uses a house-style design with near-vertical walls and a soaring 8.2-foot peak. Push cots right up to the wall, stand comfortably in every corner, and move around like you're in a room — not a tent.
Dual-Zone Living Layout
A mudroom porch and a private sleeping cabin.
The interior is divided into two distinct zones: a 5.2-foot front porch and an 8.5-foot inner cabin. The porch serves as a sheltered kitchen, mudroom, or lounge area — keeping the inner sleeping quarters clean, dry, and separate from the day's activity.
Panoramic Pane Windows
Natural light floods in. Privacy blinds shut it out.
Large pane-styled windows flood the interior with natural light, giving the Nimbus a genuine cabin-like atmosphere. Each window includes internal privacy blinds — adjust for maximum light during the day, or shut out the world entirely for a restful night's sleep.
Side-Door Sunshade Awning
A second entrance that doubles as a breezeway.
In addition to the main entrance, the Nimbus features a side door that converts into a sunshade using the included galvanized steel door poles. Prop the flap open to create an extra breezeway, shaded reading nook, or secondary entrance for cross-flow ventilation on hot days.
Fortress-Grade Bathtub Floor
Pitch on mud. Wake up dry.
A single-piece 500gsm PVC groundsheet rises up the sidewalls, creating a fully sealed basin. This industrial-grade barrier is 100% waterproof — blocking ground moisture, standing water, cold drafts, and crawling insects. The dark color hides dirt and resists punctures from cot legs and boots.
A Porch And A Cabin
13.8 × 9.2 ft total footprint. 8.2-foot cathedral ceiling. A dedicated front porch, a private sleeping cabin, and room for the whole family.

Dimensions & Capacity
A tiny home you can carry in a bag.
Total footprint of 13.8 × 9.2 ft with an 8.2-foot cathedral ceiling and 6.2-foot eave height — meaning full standing room at the walls. The inner cabin alone is 9.2 × 8.5 ft, while the front porch adds another 9.2 × 5.2 ft of covered living space. Sleeps 4–6 adults comfortably.
Dual-Zone Porch + Cabin
Mudroom meets front. Bedroom in back. Feel like home.
The included inner tent divider splits the space into a 5.2-foot front porch — perfect as a sheltered kitchen, mudroom, or gear room — and an 8.5-foot private sleeping cabin. Keep the mess outside, sleep clean and dry inside. A layout that makes group camping civilized.
Pump-Up Air-Beam Setup
Attach pump. Watch it rise. Walk inside.
No poles to sort, thread, or lose. The integrated TPU air-beam frame inflates with the included hand pump in approximately 5 minutes. One person. No tools. The structure rises on its own — just stake it down and add guylines. Packdown is equally simple: deflate, fold, bag.
Why The Nimbus Stands Out
Three fundamental engineering decisions that separate the Nimbus from every other tent in its class.
Air Beams vs Poles
Metal poles can bend, snap, and corrode. TPU air beams flex under wind pressure and instantly spring back to shape. They're lighter, faster to deploy, and eliminate the "pole wrestling" ritual entirely. Attach the pump, and the shelter rises on its own.
Vertical Walls
Dome and bell tents lose usable space at the edges — you can't place furniture against a sloped wall. The Nimbus's near-vertical cottage walls mean every square foot of floor plan is standing-height, usable space. Push cots to the wall. Stand in every corner.
Dual-Zone Layout
Most tents are one open room where muddy boots mix with sleeping bags. The Nimbus splits into a 5.2-foot front porch (kitchen, gear, mudroom) and an 8.5-foot private cabin (sleeping, living). An included divider wall keeps the mess out of the bedroom.
Specs That Actually Matter
Engineered for all-season use. A cottage-sized shelter that inflates in minutes and handles rain, wind, and everything in between.
What It's Made Of
Every material chosen specifically for portable cabin living — heavy-duty enough for all-season use, light enough for one person to carry and inflate.
280 gsm Polyester Canvas + 1500mm PU Coating
Premium hybrid fabric with the heavy-duty feel, insulation, and matte finish of a traditional canvas cottage, but engineered with synthetic fibers to reduce weight and maintenance. Naturally immune to rot and mildew. The PU coating creates a hydrophobic shield that sheds rain instantly — the tent never absorbs water and never gets heavy. Dries significantly faster than cotton for quicker pack-up.
TPU Air-Beam Inflatable Tubes (5-Point System)
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) bladders encased in tough reinforced sleeves replace traditional metal poles entirely. Designed to flex under gusty wind pressure and instantly spring back to their original shape — never bend, snap, or corrode. Because the frame is integrated into the canvas, there are no poles to sort or thread. Simply attach the pump and the structure rises on its own.
500 gsm PVC Sealed "Bathtub" Groundsheet
Heavy-duty dark grey PVC groundsheet fully integrated into the tent walls, rising up the sides to create a waterproof tub. 100% waterproof and impermeable — blocks ground moisture, mud, and standing water. The sealed design prevents cold drafts from creeping under the walls. Puncture-resistant against cot legs, dog claws, and boots. Dark color hides dirt effectively.
Large Pane-Styled Windows + Internal Privacy Blinds
Multiple large pane-styled windows flood the interior with natural light, creating a genuine cabin-like atmosphere. Each window includes integrated internal privacy blinds — adjust for maximum daylight or close completely for total darkness and privacy. Cross-shaped window panes add a homely, cottage aesthetic.
Main Entry + Side Door with Galvanized Steel Awning Poles
Full-height main entrance plus a secondary side-door that converts into a sunshade awning using 2 included galvanized steel door poles. Creates an extra breezeway, shaded reading nook, or secondary entrance. All openings fitted with heavy-duty zippers and integrated mesh screens for ventilation without insects.
29 Ground Stakes + 15 Pre-Measured Guylines
Comprehensive anchoring kit: 10 black heavy-duty straight stakes + 19 silver small stakes for perimeter and detail anchoring. 15 pre-measured guylines in multiple lengths — 4× window (4.9 ft), 6× main (13.1 ft), 4× door-pole (9.8 ft), 1× inner-tent (7.9 ft). Mallet included in the kit.
Nimbus — Anatomy
Material spec for every component
Inflatable Frame
Pump Air.
Watch It Rise.
The skeleton of the Nimbus is made of pressurized air — replacing every traditional pole with resilient TPU beams.
High-strength Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) bladders encased in tough reinforced sleeves form a 5-point structural frame. Simply attach the included hand pump, and the entire shelter inflates and rises in approximately 5 minutes. These beams are not only faster to set up than poles — they're incredibly resilient in wind. While rigid poles bend and snap, air beams flex under gusty pressure and instantly spring back to their original shape. No lost parts, no broken joints, no threading in the rain.
- 5-point TPU air-beam system replaces all main poles
- ~5 minute inflation with included hand pump
- Flex-and-return wind resilience — never snaps or bends
- Integrated frame — no parts to lose or assemble
Cottage Architecture
Vertical Walls.
Every Corner Usable.
A house-style design where you stand tall at the edges — not just the center.
Most tents are domes or pyramids that waste enormous space near the walls. The Nimbus uses a true cottage-style architecture with near-vertical walls and a soaring 8.2-foot cathedral ceiling. The 6.2-foot eave height means full standing room even at the very edges of the tent. Push cots flush against the wall, hang shelving from the air beams, and furnish the space like an actual room. The dedicated dual-zone layout splits into a 5.2-foot front porch and an 8.5-foot inner cabin — keeping the mudroom separate from the bedroom.
- 8.2ft peak + 6.2ft eave — standing room wall-to-wall
- Near-vertical walls eliminate wasted "dead space"
- Dual-zone: 5.2ft porch + 8.5ft private cabin
- Inner tent divider separates living and sleeping areas
Fortress Foundation
Sealed Basin Below.
Dry Cabin Above.
An impermeable industrial-grade tub that blocks everything the ground throws at you.
The base of the Nimbus is a heavy-duty 500gsm PVC groundsheet fully integrated into the tent walls, rising up the sides to create a completely waterproof "bathtub." This industrial-grade material — identical to what's used in river rafts — is 100% impermeable. Ground moisture, standing water, mud, and crawling insects are physically blocked from entering the living space. The sealed tub design also prevents cold drafts from creeping under the walls, keeping the interior cabin significantly warmer on chilly nights. Puncture-resistant against cot legs, dog claws, and heavy boots.
- 500gsm PVC — industrial-grade, 100% waterproof
- Rises up walls to create a fully sealed basin
- Blocks drafts, moisture, and insects at floor level
- Puncture-resistant — handles cot legs, boots, rough terrain
Field-Tested & Approved
"We field-tested the Nimbus across four weekends in wildly different conditions — coastal wind, mountain rain, high-desert heat, and a 38°F overnight. The air beams inflated consistently in under 5 minutes every time, and in a 30 mph gust test the structure flexed visibly but popped right back without any structural compromise. The dual-zone layout was the real standout — guests instinctively used the porch as a mudroom and kept the sleeping cabin spotless. The vertical walls meant we placed two full-size cots flush against the sides with room to spare. This genuinely feels more like walking into a tiny house than a tent."
