Black's of Greenock - since 1861

Black's of Greenock are the original canvas tents for groups. 

Founded in 1861 on the banks of the River Clyde, Black’s of Greenock built an undisputed reputation for using quality materials and making durable products that last. Black's of Greenock merged with Vango in the mid 80’s embracing the similar ethos and build quality of the Force Ten Classics. Both have been synonymous with group camping for many generations.


TRIED – TESTED - TRUSTED



What our customers say

" By far the best thing our group did was buying Solace I & II tents for our group. Took a lot of time doing car boot sales and other fund raising, but they're probably the best option for summer camps there is. "

Jo Churchill

" We are replacing like for like with these tents and here's why. The tents we currently have are Icelandic 2 tents and were purchased in 1968. They have been well used but now, 55 years later, they are a little worse for wear. They've been an amazing asset that has produced countless amazing memories for the countless young people that have used them over the many years. I run a history page on fb and quite often our tents are one of the first memories that come up about scout camps etc. If these new ones do even half that lifespan and provides similar joy and memories, it will be money we'll spent "

Simon @ Wilnecote Scout Group

" This is our favourite mess tent, we will be using it at the Bushcraft show this year - Bungalow Mess tent 5 "

Oakwood Bushcraft Forest School & Wilderness Living

Richard Hunt

" I’m sick of nylon tents blowing away hence the Force Tens"- solid as a rock! "

M Whitehead @ The Hills Academy

" Excellent! Great that you provide such a service. My 40 year old fly sheet was on its last legs but there’s no way I want to give up such a great tent. Furthermore every campsite I stay at I get tons of compliments. It’s not me that should be congratulated but Vango. Well done. "
