The Sentinel 150 Denier polyester fabric is highly waterproof, lightweight and resilient, with the aid of the Colourlok technology, to slow the effects of fading. Further to this, the brilliant Single-Point inflation makes erecting it a simple affair. With a 260cm width, and a 250cm depth, the Balletto 260 is one of our smallest offerings, but still packs a punch, making it ideal for weekend caravan trips.

- Multiple Deflation Points – makes set down just as simple, allowing air to escape once each valve is manually opened, for a quick set-down. Perfect for tourers.
- Elements Shield 150 Denier Polyester, making it lightweight.
- Draught Seal System, provides a secure, snug fit to the caravan, and deters the elements.

The thicker the fabric, generally the stronger, and more durable the fabric will be.

| Flysheet Fabric | Element Shield 150D with colorlok technology DetailsPolyester – a synthetic fibre, made from polymer units to create a textile fabric. Polyester is the most popular fabric for tent manufacturing, as it is durable, reliable and lighter in weight. Polyester does not breathe though, which creates more condensation. Polycotton – a blend of polyester and cotton, primarily cotton (usually around 65% cotton / 35% polyester split). Polycotton is a more natural fabric for camping, as it is breathable, far more durable material, reducing the effects of condensation. Offers greater versatility in hot and cold climates. Ripstop Nylon – a durable material used in tents which is strong and repairable due to its Ripstop properties. |

| Hydrostatic Head (mm) | 4000 DetailsHydrostatic Head (Tents) – a waterproof rating for technical fabrics measured in mm. The higher the rating the more waterproof the fabric is. A rating of 1500mm is deemed waterproof, but on a tent, look for a rating of 3000 or higher. Measured by the height of water column a fabric weave can take before it begins to “sweat”. “Polycotton” tents will not have a Hydrostatic Head level, as they are not treated for waterproofing. |
