Bell Tent Size
Bell tent sizes are described in terms of their footprint’s diameter. Our wholesale bell tents are available in sizes 4, 5 or 6 metres in diameter.
You can order a variety of sizes, or just one size – the choice is yours.
SIG, ZIG or Both?
Our wholesale bell tents are available as SIGs or ZIGs. The SIGs have the groundsheet stitched directly to the canvas flysheet making the two inseparable. On this model there is a zip at the entrance, but the rest of the circumference is fully connected with stitching.
The ZIGs have the groundsheet connected to the canvas flysheet via a chunky zip, making the two separable. This enables the user to roll up the vertical walls on the flysheet on a hot day, allowing them to ‘float’ the tent:
What Specification Are The Wholesale Bell Tents?
Our wholesale bell tents are manufactured to the exact same specification as the SoulPad bell tents we previously made. They are made by the same lovely people in exactly the same state-of-the-art factory.
For those of you who know the SoulPad brand, you’ll know the quality is second to none. For those that don’t know, a quick web search of ‘SoulPad Reviews’ will help you understand the quality and immense customer satisfaction.

Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
Of course, our factory prefers to make one size (4, 5 or 6m) and one model (SIG or ZIG), all day every day!
Switching between making different sizes and models takes more time, requires different materials and skill sets and will affect the price.
The Ideal Order Size
We prefer to fill a 20ft shipping container (generally 250 tents). This gives us better control of the shipment through the ports.
You might choose to order 3 different SKUs totalling 250 tents, and of course this is fine, however, with more variables the price becomes affected.
Smaller Orders
It is possible to place smaller orders that won’t fill a 20ft shipping container, orders of 50 wholesale bell tents for example can be shipped by LCL (Low Container Load).
Shipping by LCL means that your stock will be combined with stock from unknown manufacturers in order to fill a full container between you – not our preference because LCL shipments tend to take longer through ports as they’re more rigorously checked and inspected.
Prices
Prices will vary due to many factors besides quantity, including the time of year and subsequent workload at the factory.
To give you an idea of the sort of prices you can expect to pay, we shipped the following order for a customer in August 2023:
| SKU | Description | Quantity | *Terms | Price Per Tent (Excl VAT) | Retail Price Per Tent (Excl VAT) |
| GS5ZIG | 5 metre diameter bell tent with ZIG (Zipped-in Groundsheet) | 250 tents | CIF. Delivered to Customer’s UK Warehouse | £364.81 | £582.50 |
*Terms
In the example above we took responsibility for all carriage, insurance and freight costs (CIF) up to and including delivery to the customer’s UK warehouse. We were also responsible for all import costs (duty &VAT).
We can provide different terms depending on your needs. This article here nicely sums up the typical terms available.
Lead Time
The shortest lead time possible (from receipt of order to your receipt of the goods in the UK and Europe) is generally 5 months. This is a good rule of thumb, regardless of the terms.
The further ahead you can plan, the better!
⁓ The guys at the factory
In an ideal world (to get the best price possible), we would receive your order during the factory’s downtime (UK Summer time), then you would instruct us to ship the stock either right away or at a later date.
