Geteld Tent 3 x 5 m – Linen (Side Opening)
The Legacy of the "Great Wedge"
The Geteld (derived from the Old English word for "cover" or "tent") represents one of the most enduring designs in European history. Its silhouette is famously preserved in 9th-century manuscripts like the Utrecht Psalter and the Stuttgart Psalter, depicting the mobile life of the Carolingian and Anglo-Saxon eras.
-
A Noble’s Shelter: While smaller tents were used by scouts and soldiers, a 3 x 5 m Geteld reflects the status of a higher-ranking individual. In the Viking Age and the Early Medieval period, such a large footprint allowed for the inclusion of beds, heavy chests, and even indoor seating—turning a tent into a portable home.
-
The "Linen" Aesthetic: Our Linen-colored canvas is a tribute to the unbleached flax and hemp fabrics used by our ancestors. This natural, off-white tone captures the authentic "sun-bleached" look of a camp that has traveled across the North Sea or along the Rhine.
-
Side-Opening Versatility: Historically, larger tents often served multiple purposes. By placing the opening on the 5-meter side, this Geteld becomes a versatile "front-facing" structure. It is ideal for merchants needing a wide shopfront or for groups who want to merge their indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Engineering for the Elements
The Geteld’s design is a masterclass in early medieval engineering. The steep, slanted walls are specifically angled to shed heavy rain and deflect high winds, preventing water from pooling and reducing the stress on the frame. In the 3 x 5 m format, this geometry creates a surprisingly stable structure despite its impressive size.
Whether you are portraying a wealthy merchant at a seasonal fair or a warlord at the head of a Viking warband, this Geteld provides the space, protection, and historical accuracy needed to truly inhabit the past.
