It also keeps water from pooling in corners. In my tests, I also noticed the exposed mesh helped the floor dry quickly. The floor is constructed of heavy HDPE fabric for durability and the entire perimeter of the lower edge is banded with a strip of mesh fabric to allow water to drain in all directions.
With a peak height of 84-inches, even the tallest campers won’t feel cramped and the 48-inch square footprint provides ample space to move about and easily accommodates Nemo’s pressurized shower kit. It’s obvious they invested a lot of time in the field testing and tweaking the Heliopolis. I’ve spent a little time with the Nemo team at their HQ in New England and witnessed first hand how they scrutinize every tiny and seemingly trivial element. It was a smart and necessary decision as aluminum and fiberglass poles have historically proven of little use in such applications.įrom a distance the Heliopolis is impressive, but it’s only when you get up close the many details become evident. The four-sided architecture is supported with large diameter steel poles joined at a welded steel hub. Unlike similar products, Nemo committed to a few extra ounces because they wanted their shower shelter to stand strong. When Nemo set out to develop their new Heliopolis, they didn’t recreate the wheel––they just made it better. If they’re not hard to pitch, they’re impossible to use and seldom live very long. Most shower tents are terrible things made of poor quality materials in less than optimal shapes. After reinventing the solar shower with their pressurized Helio system, it was only a matter of time before they tackled the privy problem. The designers at Nemo Equipment love a challenge.
