Used Army Parachute

Product Details

This Used Army Parachute is perfect for set decoration, window displays or as a dust sheet.

If you are creative with a sewing machine then you could use the nylon fabric to make 100s of smaller items.

Can it be used as a shelter?

It certainly can.

You've got a bit of work to do first though.

The center hole needs re-threading with para cord and you'll have to add lines to each panel seam, so you ca peg it out.

If you don't mind spending 3-5 hours working on this used army parachute, you can grab a parachute shelter for very little money.

• Made In Britain

  • The Made in Britain marque can be used by companies who manufacture, or significantly change, products, here in Great Britain.

    To get the mark, you have to demonstrate to the Made in Britain team that the work you do is done in either Scotland, England, or in our case Wales.

    At our Denbigh warehouse, in the heart in the Vale of Clwyd, in North Wales, we repurpose decommissioned military parachutes and we turn them into fantastic parachute shelters that you can use with your family, club, school or company to get outdoors and have even more fun.

     

    Who are DAS Outdoors and what do we do?

    We're a family run company, with a small team.

    We take unwanted, surplus, parachutes from the MOD and we turn them nto fantastic shelters.

    The process varies from shelter to shelter, but we are able to manufacture small, medium and large outdoor shelters.

    That can be anything from a huge parachute tipi, that you can get nearly 60 people underneath, to a small den kit which are really popular with families of individuals with a real sense of adventure.

    You can sustain and create even more manufacturing jobs

    If you or someone you know is in the market for an outdoor classroom, please have a look at what we do.

    We can help to solve your outdoor shelter problem and you would be helping support the small team that we have here and create more manufacturing jobs in the future

    If shelters aren't your thing, please take a look at the Made In Britain directory.

    There is a whole host of British companies out there, doing amazing things!

    Made in Britain marque

    We're really proud to qualify for the Made In Britain marque and very excited to start using it on our products.
