There are a lot of
good wall tents on the market
these days, but we couldn't
find one with all the
features we wanted, or the
tents were not built the way
we felt they should be built.
If the little things are not
done right, it can make a big
difference in the performance
of a tent. So we put all our
ideas together and designed a
tent and had it built for us.
We feel that the quality
and craftsmanship of
these tents make them a worthy
companion to a Cylinder Stove.
All tents come with 2 doors,
stove jack, sod cloth, ropes
with tensioners, and a canvas
storage bag. Other options are
available.
The material we use
for our canvas tents is 10.38
oz. preshrunk marine grade
army duck canvas treated with
sun forger to make it water
repellant and mildew
resistant. All seams are
folded and double stitched
with a lock stitch machine.
All reinforcement patches are
angled and match up evenly
with adjoining patches. All
corners, both on the sidewall
and the ridge, are reinforced
for added durability. The eave
of the tent is stitched down
to the wall between grommets
to insure proper drainage.
Tent wall is 5\'2" so that
after shrinkage it will finish
at a full 5 feet. Inside the
tent along the eaves there are
loops for clothes lines or
dividers sewn in every 3 feet
at the seams. There are also
sewn in loops inside the tent
at the base of the wall every
3 feet, these can be used to
tie down a floor or other set
items. We have incorporated a
spacious, sown in pocket at
the front of the tent for
convenient storage and use. A
door at each end makes for
much better ventilation than a
door and window. It also
makes it easy to set up two
tents together. Each door has
a 7 ft. tall #10 zipper and
has a 6" weather flap inside
and outside of the door.
These flaps have small
grommets and D-rings for tying
flaps shut if the zipper ever
fails. At the bottom of each
door is a nylon Fastex Buckle
which keeps stress off zipper
when setting up tent. All
grommets are rolled-rim spur
grommets. Each grommet is
individually reinforced with
webbing to increase strength.
A military-style rubber
stove jack is angled on the
top side to divert runoff
around the pipe hole. The
stove jack cover is removable,
preventing it from ever
touching stove pipe. Cover
attaches to the wall tent with
Velcro when a stove is not
needed. A ridge pole opening
at each end of ridge has a
sock with drawstring for
sealing off hole, keeping heat
in and bugs out. 12"
non-rotting sod cloth is sewn
to the inside bottom edge of
tent on all 4 sides. Optional
zippered windows open from the
inside and are covered with a
heavy duty vinyl texteleen
screen. The window flap is
actually the same piece of
canvas as the tent. There is
no joint at the bottom of the
flap, this eliminates any
chance of leakage.
