ABOUT US

Our mission is to help your business customize a unique outdoor space that grows with you.

We’re grateful to live and work in Mi’kma’ki, the traditional territory of the Mi’kmaq people, calling Sikunme’katik (Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia) home.

Our property is a mix of forest and field, where we’ve raised our kids in a century farmhouse, turned an old red barn into our workshop and storage, and test-pitch every tent in a former horse paddock.

We're two hands-on entrepreneurs who love creating welcoming and beautiful outdoor spaces.

How It All Began

Our journey in the tent industry began in 2005 when we started Little Foot Yurts - handcrafted yurts for weddings and festivals. They are cozy and enclosed, and we wanted to diversify our offerings with something open, airy, and flexible. Stretch tents were the perfect solution.

In 2018, we set out to find a leading stretch tent manufacturer and found RHI Stretch Tents in Cape Town, South Africa. They knit their own fabric in house, export to over 80 countries, and are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, which is why we built a lasting partnership and have worked together ever since.

We’re proud to bring stretch tents to Atlantic Canada, backed by more than 20 years of building and setting up tents for local celebrations. Customizable, weatherproof, and beautifully sculptural, they became popular in Europe and have since taken the rest of the world by storm.
