What are the differences between the Classic, Stratus, and Cirrus tents?
Are you developing or expanding a campsite that focusses on luxury camping? Then you will get to the point of having to choose the right tents, which is a very important decision. At OSSO, we offer three luxury models: Classic, Stratus, and Cirrus. They all look good, but how do you decide which of them is most suitable for your campsite?
The differences between the three go beyond appearance. Every tent has its own construction, features, and strengths. Whether you’re looking for an authentic safari tent or a more premium accommodation, choosing the right model can make a significant difference for both your guests and your investment.
In this blog, we’ll compare the Classic, Stratus and Cirrus tents, explain their key differences and help you determine which solution best fits your project.

More about Cirrus
The Classic tent
Available in four sizes (Classic 7.5, 12, 20 and 27), the Classic is the durable workhorse of the OSSO luxury tent collection. Its modular construction, featuring straight glulam A-frames and a single connector set, allows the tent to be installed on virtually any type of floor. The innovative hanging system separates the roof from the undertent, making installation and maintenance easier while improving overall performance.
The roof is made from 650 g/m² PVC with a colour grade 7 finish. For more demanding locations, all models except the Classic 7.5 can be upgraded with a heavy-duty storm roof made from 1000 g/m² PVC with an acrylic coating, galvanised flange plates and 16 mm steel cables for maximum stability in harsh weather conditions.
The undertent is available in a variety of fabrics, including OSSO’s premium PFAS-free 420 SC and 420 FRSC fabrics. Both offer exceptional tearing strength, anti-mildew protection and long-lasting colour retention, making them a durable and sustainable choice. Every Classic tent also comes with marine-grade clear PVC window covers, while the soft taupe fabric combined with a hemp-coloured roof creates a timeless safari look.
The Stratus tent
The Stratus is available in two sizes and offers one of the best price-performance ratios in the market, making it an excellent choice for camping owners looking for a high-quality tent within a more modest budget.
The tent is made from 420 g/m² OSSO polycotton fabric, reinforced with ripstop weaving for outstanding tensile strength and durability. Premium UV-resistant and anti-mildew treatments help the fabric maintain its appearance for years, even in demanding climates. The M2 flame-retardant roof and mudflap are made from durable 650 g/m² PVC, while the S325 steel frame features both an electrolytic zinc treatment and a powder coating to protect against corrosion and scratches.
The floor system can be assembled and disassembled quickly, making installation and relocation easier. Heavy-duty YKK zippers further enhance reliability, and the Stratus is available in two attractive colour combinations.
The Cirrus tent
The Cirrus is OSSO’s premium tent range and is available in four sizes. Its distinctive curved glulam frame creates a high-rise ceiling that gives the interior a spacious, luxurious feel, while also allowing rainwater and dirt to run off the roof more efficiently. The full glass front with a wooden frame maximises natural light and strengthens the connection between indoor comfort and the nature outside.
The walls are made from 420 g/m² OSSO polycotton ripstop fabric, providing exceptional strength and durability. Combined with the 650 g/m² PVC roof, the tent offers an excellent balance between comfort, breathability and weather resistance. For projects in areas with lots of sunlight, the roof can be upgraded to OSSO PP450 solution-dyed fabric with a 1050 g/m² acrylic-coated roof for enhanced UV protection.
A premium anti-mildew treatment protects the fabric from mould and discolouration over time. Depending on the desired appearance and functionality, the removable front wall can be supplied as a wooden glass façade or as a fabric wall with marine-grade clear PVC windows. The Cirrus is available in two colour combinations, making it easy to match the tent to the look and feel of your campsite.
