Learn how the Camp Cot Under-Storage helps you maximize tent space and keep your gear off the ground. A simple storage solution for campers.
Quick answer
The TETON Sports Camp Cot Under-Storage is a simple, durable hammock that attaches under most cots, keeping your gear off the ground and out of the way.
Why keep gear off the ground?
Tent floors get dirty, damp, and cluttered. Storing gear on the ground creates tripping hazards and makes it hard to find what you need. An under-cot storage hammock lifts your items off the floor, freeing up walking space and keeping everything organized.
What can you store?
The Camp Cot Under-Storage offers 23” x 21.5” x 5.5” of space—enough for a change of clothes, a book, a small bag, or camp shoes. It’s not meant for heavy equipment like a full cook set or a bulky sleeping bag, but it handles daily essentials well.
Installation and compatibility
The hammock uses simple straps that connect to almost any camp cot. No tools or modifications needed. It works best with standard folding cots; very narrow or extra-wide cots may require adjustment.
Decision rules for under-cot storage
- Check your cot's frame: Make sure your cot has a simple tubular frame that straps can wrap around. Cots with solid or flat side rails may not work.
- What you'll store: Use it for soft, medium-weight items like clothes, shoes, or a small bag. Avoid storing sharp or heavy objects that could damage the fabric or make the hammock sag. Keep the load balanced and under 200 lbs.
- Placement matters: Position the hammock under the center of the cot for best balance. Off-center loading may cause the cot to tip or the storage to drag on the ground. Adjust the straps so the hammock hangs level and stays off the ground.
Product facts
- Camp Cot Under-Storage: Durable tear-resistant poly canvas with a 200 lb weight capacity. You can store heavier items like a loaded backpack or a stack of books without worrying about tearing the fabric.
