Wall Tents?

[bark4]

One of my tents is a canvas / relite combo. Does anyone know of any other lite weight tent material is out there ? Looking at building another smaller tent for packing purposes but interestex in somthing that breathes a little better. Ive tried googling but my computor savy at that great. Thanks for the help.

Just replaced the Wall tent that burnt down on us..Did lots of research and I went with deluxe wall tents for best tent and best price and super quality.

Thanks in advance!

Really happy with my Capital Canvas tent - 14x16 with a 5 foot porch and aluminum frame.

For 2 guys a 12x14 works, 3-4 get a 14x16. An aluminum frame is really nice, fast setup too.

Get an airtight stove and an EcoFan.

Check out tipi tents too - the stove in the middle is a nice concept for even heat throughout the tent.

I bought 10 tents for our camps up North and the best ones we have ever had came from atuk tents in Quebec. www.atuktents.com . Guy is great to deal with and builts nice stuff. We went with a few 14x16 with 5 foot walls but the last ones I bought from him are 16x20 and its great to have the extra room. I would suggest putting at least 2 windows in, there really nice to have.

I bought 2 relite tents from Montana canvas for packing on the horse, there super lite weight but do not breath at all. I am glad I got windows in them

X2 on the ECOFAN, bought one last fall, best investment/addition to wall tent with wood heat.

Sail silk makes a nice light wall tent

[bark4]

Yes. Sail silk is lite weight and eazy to work with but it is also very flammable. Unfortunatley learned this the hard way. I know they can b treated but apparently it doesnt work that great.

I have one I bought like 8 years ago . Great tent, the canvas is a lot heavier than the other made in canada tents I have seen.
I leave mine setup for 2 months at a time on the side of a river ( jet boat access) I take my time with setup as securing it properly and the tent has held up amazingly well !
the only thing i even had to do was replace the stove ring as it burnt out after 2 seasons. the original stove ring was a fiberglass weave. the replacement i got is a silicone rubber and shows no sign of wear after many seasons.

I paid a lot more than 390.00 ! so if your looking for a tent I doubt you will ever see a better deal

[clarky]

Thanks a lot jetdude. Appreciate the advice. Looks like I'll be swinging by the ol princess auto after work.

I've just ordered one, I've been looking for a cheap wall tent for use with the 1950 Yukon military stove I bought a while back.

I would suggest a 14x16 Fort MacPherson. They are very well made for extreme weather conditions. I would have the stove pipe installed in the front of the tent.

Just an update on princess auto wall tents, there are none left at the south side location. I picked up the last one this morning. Not sure about the north location.

[powerbob]

my buddy said saskatoon had 6 . FYI

[BEL]

Have stove opening near the front. Cool air comes in, gets heated and travels to the rest of the tent. I have a 16x20x3.5. Love it. Bel

[bearhunting]

Just picked up a 12x14x4 grizzly at princess auto south Calgary
had a 15% off card
out the door just under $350 screaming deal
they have 2 left
thanks powerbob for the tip

[Ormachek]

Those princess auto tents sound like a screaming deal! I have a capital canvas 10x12x5ft wall. Its been great the last 4 years. We put 3 guys in it without feeling crowded. No table or chairs or anything like that though!

[bearhunting]

so now I'm searching for an internal frame for my new tent

any deals on these !!!!


thanks
