Keep your phone, glasses, and small essentials within easy reach inside your ultralight tent. The Zpacks Mesh Tent Pocket attaches with seam tape for quick, no-sew installation.
Quick answer
The Zpacks Mesh Tent Pocket attaches inside your shelter using its built-in seam tape, giving you a secure spot for small essentials without sewing or adding weight.
Why add a mesh pocket to your tent?
Fumbling for your phone, flashlight, or glasses in the dark is frustrating and wastes time. A dedicated mesh pocket keeps these items organized and within arm's reach, so you can settle in quickly after a long day on trail.
The Zpacks Mesh Tent Pocket weighs almost nothing and installs in minutes. It works best on flat, non-elastic tent walls—ideal for shelters like the Triplex or other Zpacks models with smooth interior panels.
How to install the Zpacks Mesh Tent Pocket
- Choose the right location: Select a smooth, flat section of your tent wall near your sleeping area. Avoid curved or heavily tensioned panels where the tape might not hold well. Common mistake: placing the pocket on a seam or curve, which reduces adhesion and pocket capacity.
- Clean and dry the surface: Wipe the tent wall with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust, moisture, or debris. The seam tape bonds best to a clean surface.
- Peel and press the pocket: Peel the backing off the seam tape strip along the top edge of the pocket. Position the pocket where you want it, then press firmly along the entire tape strip for 15–20 seconds. Checkpoint: press the tape from the center outward to avoid air bubbles that can weaken the bond.
- Let the bond set: Wait at least 30 minutes before loading the pocket with gear. For best results, leave it undisturbed for a few hours in moderate temperatures (60–80°F). Common mistake: loading the pocket immediately, which can cause the tape to peel away before it fully adheres.
