Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are your Kåta tents completely weatherproof?

A: Yes. Our Kåtas are made of the very latest hi-tec cotton/synthetic mix fabric. They are strong, weatherproof and flame resistant. In Warm conditions and when using the fire, the smoke hole at the top of each Kåta can be opened to allow ventilation. It can also be fully closed to shut out the elements.

Q How do I calculate how much space I need?

A: Each Giant Hat Kåta is 10.3m (34’) in diameter. The Kungsörnen Kåta is 8.5 (27’) in diameter. Please have a look at our floor plan section to find out how multiple Kåtas can be joined together. Call us if you have any doubt.

Q: Can I have an open fire in my tent?

A: Our Giant Hat Kåtas and Kungsörnen Kåtas are designed to accommodate an open fire. When used during a period of hire we only allow fires when used in conjunction with one of our Bamse Max fireplaces. As with any open fire it requires careful supervision but creates a fantastic atmosphere.

We do not allow fires, smoking or any naked flames in our accommodation Kåtas.

Q How long does it take to erect the tents?

A: Our Giant Hat Kåtas take about half a day to erect, but it is very dependent on what kind of flooring you require, how much furniture and lighting e.t.c. We will make sure we have enough crew to complete a set-up in plenty of time prior to your event.

Q: How do I book and pay for the hire?

A: Once you decided exactly what you need, we will send you a final quotation and booking form, which you will need to sign and return. We will require a 25% deposit from you (payable by cheque or cash to World Inspired Limited), which will secure your booking. A confirmation and receipt of deposit payment will be sent to you. The balance of the hire fee is required 10 days prior to your event. We will send you a reminder and invoice for the balance in plenty of time.
