Premade Concrete Canvas Tents - Just Add Water

Concrete Canvas, is a concrete impregnated fabric, that once water has been added to it, it hardens in a durable waterproof & fire resistant layer. Essentially, it's concrete on a roll.

The canvas is made of 4 layers, a fabric surface to hold the concrete pre mix in place, fibers that link the outer players together so it hold a uniform shape regardless the angle you use the material on, then you have the dry concrete mix and lastly you have a waterproof PVC backing.

Concrete Canvas is a low mass technology which uses up to 95% less material than conventional solutions. A single pallet of Concrete Canvas can cover the same area as two 17T concrete mixer trucks.

Thanks for watching

★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★

*1) The Tent is too expensive and not worth it* - Yes you are right, for you and me. But it was probably design for organisations that require a building to be setup fast in remote locations, like the military or emergency reaction forces in storm damaged areas. A place that can be setup real fast and outfitted as a HQ, to organise forces, and once finished they just have it demolished.

*2) Concrete is not waterproof, the tent will leak* - That is why it has a white plastic membrane inside, so the water stays outside the plastic, plus this tent was not designed for long term conditions, just quick reaction forces like the military.

*3) It does not have windows or ventilation, you will suffocate unless you leave the doors open* - well maybe that is what they had in mind with the design, something quick and sturdy for short term duration as a Headquaters and if need be I am sure they can always cut a hole and fit a vent.

*4) Most of you are focusing on the tent and not the material itself* - The tent is just one small factor of what this video was about and what this material is good for and what it can do.

*5) Most of you are saying the Military would never use these tents* - My opinions above are just that, opinions on who might use these tents, no one is saying just the military will buy and use them. I just check the Concrete Canvas website, these tents are still listed as an item they sell, and they say they have a *"designed life of 10 years"*

"Dug out a rough trench"
Shows the cleanest smoothest trench I've ever seen, and I work on construction sites

Now I finally realized why the tents in videogames are completely solid

[alexs]

I can barely afford rent, but I'm convinced I now need to buy concrete canvas for some reason

[shindousan]

The tents look like habitats being planned for Moon and Mars colonies.

an interesting application of the thinner variety, if it had marine-grade concrete: DIY boat hulls.

My grandfather made a sailboat hull out of mesh and a thin layer of marine concrete. Less complicated to do then fiberglass, and more rot-resistant then wood. provided there was a good way to seal the seams, two of those rolls over some formers could churn out a 30-ft/10m boat for a fraction of what fibreglass typically costs (since you need a wooden core, then fiberglass and resin layers on both sides). It wouldn't be quite as light, but would likely weigh less then Grandad's boat did, and that sailed fine back in the day (It was before my time, though he still had the hull when I was born)

This material would fly off the shelf if it were a bit less expensive.

Getting the tent back in its bag after use would almost be as difficult as getting a Coleman dome tent in it's original storage bag.

I recycled used carpet, then use it with concrete like shingles, they are very heavy once impregnated with Portland and water. Works great for erosion barrier.

Thanks for not wasting 7 more minutes of my time and getting straight to the point of why I even clicked on the video in the first place, Cheers.

I'm gonna set up one of their concrete forts in my living room.

BRILLIANT...Always wondered how they held slopes on side of highways...SO COOL...learned something new today!!! Thank you

Just watch out for the load bearing characteristics of containers. They are very strong at corners for vertical stacking, but you are not supposed to even walk on the unreinforced top (roof). I thought of using concrete canvas for hardening a simple either above ground or buried container house the first time I saw info on it. The rolls are also pretty heavy to move and unroll, requiring a pretty hefty forklift, front end loader, etc.

"they dug out a rough trench", err they dug a precision trench 10 x the original .

Concrete canvas is great for homesteading... This is going to be the route I take ! Buy some land, get like 5 of these, and boom excellent shelter

[NathanHassall]

Iv been living in a Premade Concrete Canvas Tent for 3 years! Its nice and cold in the summer and nice and cold in the winter too. Plus no windows for people to stare at me inside my bunker while I do the things that make me feel like god.

[portnuefflyer]

Now I know how the state stabilized a hillside above a big retaining wall, it was with "concrete canvas." Very cool stuff.

[reneemills-mistretta]

This is the most brilliant idea, especially for here in Florida where hurricanes are plentiful.

[diegomarxweiller]

The real question is why this was recommended to me

[FreedInPieces]

My wife and kids left me after I spent my last dime on this stuff, after watching this video, but who cares! My entire house is now completely covered in this stuff. Rock Solid!
