Our Story

Tentsile Ltd is an innovative outdoor equipment company that has reimagined camping with its revolutionary Tree Tents and Giant Hammocks, designed to reconnect people with nature while raising awareness about global deforestation.

Founded in 2012 by Alex Shirley-Smith, Tentsile pioneered the concept of suspended camping, combining comfort, adventure, and minimal environmental impact. Their world-leading tree tents offer a unique experience—elevated above the ground, nestled between trees, and surrounded by nature.

Built on principles of sustainability and conservation, Tentsile has earned global recognition for its eco-conscious design and commitment to responsible outdoor practices. Through partnerships with environmental organizations, the company actively supports reforestation initiatives and promotes Leave No Trace principles.

Tentsile’s product line extends beyond tree tents, including camping hammocks and weather-resistant accessories—all created to deepen the connection between people and the natural world, while delivering functionality and durability.

Driven by a passion for nature, Tentsile continues to inspire low-impact adventure and has reshaped the way we camp. To date, through its tree-planting pledge, the company has proudly planted over 1,000,000 trees, reinforcing its mission to protect and preserve our planet’s forests.
