Alps, Alps - Meramac 3 Person Tent All Expedition Tents >>> Expedition Tents by Alps More details and ordering info. The Meramac series tents are all free standing 2-pole designs with shock corded fiberglass or aluminum poles and aluminum ferrules. The ferrules are the 'connectors' that hold the poles together and we use aluminum, rather than steel, because aluminum can never rust. Our fiberglass poles are also normally one size larger than normal to offer you a sturdier, stronger tent. We use lightweight but strong nylon taffeta fabrics. The walls are uncoated so the tent can 'breathe' under the urethane coated fly. The fly uses a pole in the top, which gives you an awning over each door for excellent rain protection. Our fly is full length on the sides, not 3/4 length like some others, for better weather protection.
