Innovations

In 1988, Pop'n'Work introduced the Work Ground Strut Tent. In 1994, major design improvements were developed. The Ground Strut Tent is remarkably simple and rugged.

Ground Strut Tent (GS Series)

• Available with one or two doors. Slit door with zipper closure is standard.
• Large roll-up door is optional and can be used as a canopy to extend tent coverage. Available with Velcro or zippered closures.
• Tent can be square or rectangular.
• Available with one or two connecting doors to join two or more tents. Is also available with a Pole Wrap door.
• Two sidewall extension frames pop out to set up the tent. Sidewall frames are constructed with flexible fiberglass rods extending from a central hinge.
• All GS tents have a ground strut along the rear wall. The tent wall is fastened to the strut giving the tent its free-standing stability. If there is no door in the rear wall, the ground strut is curved so the tent sits firmly on uneven terrain. Tents with two roll-up doors have a straight ground struth both front and back.
• Standard colors are white with light grey on the bottom half of the sidewalls and an orange safety stripe on both sidewalls. Bright blue is an optional color for the bottom half of the sidewalls. All fabrics meet CPAI-84 standards for fire resistance.
• All GS tents have the exclusive Pop'n'Work unified frame which is virtually unbreakable and cannot pull apart unexpectedly. The frame is independent of the cover and can actually stand on its own. Cover attachment is very simple and damaged covers are easily replaced.
• The Quick-Pak Flap is a standard feature on GS tents with the exception of some two-door models.

Similarities & Differences

Although Pop'n'Work Ground Strut and Flex Tents share many design similarities, they also have a number distinct differences. Simplicity and optional two-door models are key features of GS tents. The major FX Tent advantages are vertical stability and flexibility in a large tent combined with it's amazing adaptabilty to tight spots and rough terrain.

In 1992, we introduced the Pop'n'Work Flex Tent to fit special ground tent needs. It has no ground struts, but instead has a telescoping X-Frame in the back wall.

The Flex Tent is also designed for quick set up and exceptional free-standing ability. It has a pitched roof, easy cover replacement and non-breakable hinges.
