Description

I make a western style wall tent. This means that because of ridge openings and plenty of reinforcement, a large rough timber can be passed through the peaks of the tent. This simplifies set up when using poles obtained from the forest. I make and sell tent frames, but I specialize in making the canvas with this type of rustic set up in mind. Stove jacks and sod cloths are standard items on most of my tents. I am not a tent and awning canvas shop, so you will never find leftover awning fabric hanging from the bottom of my tents (attempting to call itself sod cloth). I purchase accompaniment fabric for a specific design quality, and will not use fabric because its lying around and has been paid for. When reinforcing a stress point in a tent I don't use some non-conforming bomber nylon that will outlast the tent by 20 years. I simply double or triple up the same tent fabric that the tent is constructed with, this allows the reinforcement to shrink or expand with the tent. Other tent companies sew nylon webbing continuously along the top of the 5' wall which is great to hold a grommet in, but nylon doesn't shrink like canvas, therefore, when the canvas gets wet, the grommet tab curls forming a gutter that leaks water into the tent, not good. I on the other hand, reinforce the grommets individually letting the top of the wall hold its own, which it does fine. In fact, to ensure good drainage we stitch the eve tab to the wall between the grommets. The grommets are rolled edge and spurred. I use a #10 zipper in the door and protect it with a healthy 6
