How Quickly Can the Shelter be Deployed?
With the correct inflation system, shelters can be fully deployed in under 5 minutes using an electric pump—no additional frame assembly required. The airtight sealed beam design provides full structural support once inflated. For even faster setup, a 6L or 8L BA cylinder can be used, inflating the shelter in as little as 1–2 minutes.
How Easy is it to Learn How to Unpack, and Pack the Shelter?
The Sealed Beam Fast-Inflation Shelter is designed for rapid setup in minutes with minimal training needed. Simply roll out the shelter, connect a pump, and inflate. Beams inflate automatically, and repositioning is easy with grab handles and guy ropes. Packing down is straightforward using the reverse function on the pump—roll, secure, and store in the valise.
How Small Can the Shelters be Packed?
When deflated and rolled, our shelters pack down compactly for efficient storage and transport. Depending on the size and configuration, they are stored in durable bags or protective cases—typically small enough to fit in the back of a vehicle using a easy, two-man lift, or be carried by two people to a nearby destination for set-up.
Typical Packed Sizes are as Follows:
-
- ICB33 (3x3m): 90 x 69 x 61 cm

Can the Shelter be Used Without Access to Mains Power?
Yes. The shelter can be inflated using a BA cylinder and hose or a 12-volt battery-powered pump, making it ideal for remote or off-grid locations where mains power isn’t available, such as a field, or wilderness area. Optional generators can also be supplied for power needs on site.
How are Lighting and Heating Integrated into the Shelter?
The shelter includes internal ‘D’ rings on the beams for attaching lighting, heaters, or room dividers. Service ports at either end allow for safe, sealed entry of power cables, ducting, or heating hoses. Optional accessories like internal lighting kits, heaters, and generators can be supplied as part of a fully configured package—ready to deploy out of the box for your shelter.
Are the Shelters Flame Retardant?
Yes. The outer canopy of the shelter is flame-retardant (FR), as well as waterproof and water-repellent—making it safe and effective for use in high-risk environments such as fire and rescue operations, emergency response zones, and industrial sites where fire hazards are present.
In addition to being flame retardant, the material is:
-
- Waterproof and water-repellent, suitable for wet, harsh environments
- UV-resistant, protecting against degradation from prolonged sun exposure
- Tear-resistant and easy to clean
These properties make the shelter ideal for use in firefighting operations, disaster relief zones, military field bases, and remote medical setups.
Can the Shelter Withstand Strong Weather?
Yes. The sealed beam design, with offset and reinforced beam joints, combined with the flame retardant canopy materials, gives your shelter excellent stability and resistance to wind, heavy rain, and temperature changes. Standard features such as guy ropes and vehicle flapssecure anchoring in challenging environments and ensure that your shelter stays strong againt the elements, such as heavy wind and rain. This makes the shelter ideal for use in situations such as firefighting operations, disaster relief zones, military field bases, and remote medical setups.
How Does the Shelter Handle Pressure Changes from Temperature
Temperature fluctuations, whether from changing weather conditions or heat generated by multiple people inside the shelter, can cause internal air pressure to rise or fall. To address this, each Sealed Beam Fast-Inflation Shelter is fitted with pressure regulation valves on the exterior beams, allowing for safe and controlled pressure release or adjustment as needed. Thanks to the airtight sealed beam design, shelters generally require minimal air top-ups—often just once or twice over several days—making them ideal for long-term field use without constant supervision, whether the shelter is being used for busy triage or medical zones, or situated in extreme weather conditions.
How Easily Can the Shelters be Moved Once Set Up?
The shelters are lightweight and built as a single-piece unit, with the outer canopy securely fixed to the internal sealed beam frame using strong Velcro. This means you don’t need to take anything apart to move the shelter. Grab handles along the lower sides and at each corner give you easy grip points, allowing even a small team to lift, turn, or shift the shelter quickly into a new location. The simple design makes it easy to adjust the shelter’s position or move it to a nearby spot without deflating—perfect for fast-paced situations where speed and flexibility are key.
Are the Shelters Connectable?
Yes, our shelters feature a modular design with full-sized zippered connectable doors. This allows you to join multiple units easily, creating larger operational spaces or separate zones tailored to your specific needs. The modular setup offers great flexibility for expanding your shelter footprint quickly and efficiently.
