Bag yourself a cathedral!

This Large Army Parachute has been modified into a huge shelter.

It's the largest we produce.

The strong, ripstop nylon that MOD chose to make this parachute means it's an incredibly light and robust parachute shelter.

Some of our clients have them rigged all year round.

This outdoor shelter can sit perfectly above your fire circle or peg it directly to the floor. 

You can use it in whichever set up is best for you.

We're Running Out

As of 18th March 2026 we only have 20 left!

How Big Is It?

Cathedral has an internal area of about 65 m².

Giving you enough room to sit or stand about 65 people.

That's 13 DAS Outdoors families!

Pole Free Set Up

We do not have a pole system for this shelter, but take a look at the video below on how to set these up using a ridgeline:

You can use this set up for any of our large parachute tipis, including this one.
