Hanging things up in a tent

We have a new airbeam tent which I love but I need to get better at organising stuff within it. Is there anything anyone uses to hang stuff up in a tent? Thinking jumpers, jackets etc? Stuff seems to end up on the floor.

I just leave clothes in the kit bags. I take pop up storage/laundry bins for storing things like coats and jackets.

Everything stays in the bags and coats etc generally end up taking over a camping chair

We camped next to a family of 6 who packed a coatstand. Thought it was nuts but 6 coats all hanging neatly saved them a load of floor space.
They also had stacking crates and a plastic drawer set - and a huge trailer which everything was kept in at home until the next trip.

Thanks. Off to ponder how we fit a coat stand in the car....

I would love to see DH's face if I attempted to get a coat stand into the car. I am very tempted to try it next time... Smile

We used to have an extending pole that sat on the ground and clipped onto the frame with a 30 cm pole extending at 90°. Used to hold 4 coats on hangers, presume they can still be bought

backs of chairs. plus we take a small clothes horse with us. and we put up a line for light lowels.

Coats get hung on little hooks above the bedroom drawers. Clothes go in fold out storage bag thingys like below.

I also string up a line between the two bedrooms (we have a vis a vis style tent) and hang stuff off there.
I saw a tent the other day that had three bedrooms or 2 bedrooms and a wardrobe with hanging rail! I want it but can't remember what it was called.

*bedroom doors not drawers

Do you have a loop anywhere that can take the weight of things hanging?

I sewed loops in 1/4 inch nylon webbing and then inserted hooks with rubber tips but I have a tent with poles.

We hang them on each side of the front - they don't touch the tent as there is a front side pocket thing that hangs behind it.

Of course you can't really see it but it goes down the diagonal of the tent wall 6 or 7 on each side.

We have a camping wardrobe! Four shelves and a rail.

I use S hooks attached inside the tent. Works for rain jackets, hoodies, towels etc. Rest of the stuff stays in bags.

outnumberedismylife · 14/09/2016 23:00

Thanks for all the ideas!

I have one of these free standing , very collapsible jobbies at home

I presume an airbeam lacks any rigid upright tent poles - lots of clip on things available for those if you google tent pole hanger .But won't help you I think .
