MADE TO LAST

YOU MAY CHOOSE BETWEEN FOUR CANVASSES FOR YOUR TENT!

FLAME RETARDANT 10.38 oz. Army Duck

This treatment is flame retardant, water repellent, and mildew resistant with a shrinkage factor of approximately 7%. This means that it will shrink more than our Sunforger canvases below. It is also a dip-method treatment, which results in a stiffer and heavier finished product. It costs more simply because it is from a different mill than Sunforger. This canvas is very white and holds its color extremely well. The flame retar- dancy is just that, a RETARDANT! There’s no such thing as a FLAMEPROOF tent. Please exercise caution with any canvas when near fires, wood stoves, etc. This canvas meets California Fire Marshal’s Code CPAI-84; a standard by which some flame retardant treatments are measured. Check with your Attorney General’s office for flame retardancy requirements on tents in your state. NOTE! Flame retardancy will diminish within a few years. How long it will last on your tent will vary with use and exposure to the elements.  

SUNFORGER® 10.38 oz. Army Duck Sunforger®

is a fantastic treatment that combines water repellency, marine fin- ishing and boatshrunk application. The result is a strong, but lightweight canvas that sheds water, resists mildew, mold, algae, and fungi, and has a smaller shrinkage factor. Because it is a “Dry Application” finish, tents made of Sunforger are significant- ly lighter in weight than tents made of other canvasses.  

FLAME RETARDANT SUNFORGER®10.38 oz. Army Duck

This canvas has the same properties as Sunforger®, but with a flame retar- dancy added. This canvas is lighter in weight than the above flame retardant, but just as strong. It is not a bright white like the other but it breathes better and has a smaller shrinkage factor. The flame retardancy is only a RETARDANT! There’s no such thing as a FLAME-PROOF tent. Please exercise caution with any canvas when near fires, woodstoves, etc. This canvas meets California Fire Marshal’s Code CPAI-84; a standard by which some flame retardant treat- ments are measured. You should check with your Attorney General’s office for flame retardancy requirements on tents in your state. NOTE! Flame retardancy will diminish within a few years. How long it will last on your tent will vary with use and exposure to the elements.

FLAME RETARDANT SUNFORGER®13 oz. Army Duck THE ULTIMATE!

This extra heavy duty canvas is the same superior treat- ment as above, applied to an army duck that is 25% heavier! The result is a SUPER-CANVAS for extra harsh climates and a longer lasting tent. On average, 13 oz. SUNFORGER has 30% more tare strength than the 10.38 oz. version. This is the toughest canvas on the market! 

The time it takes to make your tent varies with the time of year. There are times when we have shelters in stock. When they are not in stock you should allow 3-5 weeks, but during the Spring the wait is longer. Order early and give us plenty of advance notice if you have a special date that you need your tent. We always have to turn some orders away during the peak season, but that’s only because we refuse to rush any order through at the cost of quality! LAYAWAY! -You can put a tent on our layaway plan by making a payment once each month for up to 6 months!

TIPI'S

TIPI POLES LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE

  MILITARY WEDGE TENTS

For re-enacting the French and Indian War, American Revolution, War of 1812, Mexican War, or American Civil War eras we offer these historically correct wedge tents. They come authen- ticaily made with no overlap facings and only one door. We’re glad to add any of these features if you so desire. See below for pricing. All military wedges come with handworked button holes in the peak and rolled canvas peg loops, except the Civil War tents, which have brass grommets for pegs and also at the peak.

* FOR OVERLAP FACINGS ADD $5.00 PER DOOR. *FOR DOORS ON BOTH ENDS ADD $20.00

*COST FOR A TENT WITH 2 DOORS BOTH OVERLAPPING IS $30.00 EXTRA ($20.00 + 5.00 + 5.00)

STANDARD WEDGE TENTS

PEAK GROMMETS ARE STANDARD

We’ve found that it is nice to have the added flexibility that peak grommets give you. They are particularly helpful when it comes to adding on a tent fly. If you do not want peak grommets just let us know, and we’ll leave them off!

OPTIONAL BELL BACK

The bells on our standard wedges extend the length of the tent base without any change in the ridge pole length. The advantage is added space for storing gear. If you’d like this option, it is available both with and without a door in the bell.

SOD FLAP

We highly recommend sod flap for all of the tents we make. The sod flap is a 10” turn in along the base of the tent. It seals gaps due to uneven ground and we put it on all four sides of your wedge tent. If you’d like a bell back, we put a separate piece of sod flap on each panel of the bell for maximum coverage, so there is an extra charge. SIZES The chart on the next page shows you our standard sizes of wedge tents. 

Bell Back Wedge 

Our Bell Wedges give you LOTS of extra headroom and usable space, while requiring only 3 poles and some tent stakes for set up.

STANDARD BELLWEDGE- 8’tall, 10’wide, 11’2” long plus a 5’ bell (16’2” overall length). Gives you about 150 square feet of floor space.

SUPER BELLWEDGE- Even roomier! 8’tall, 12’ wide, 14’ long plus a 6’ bell for an overall length of 20’ and approx. 225 square feet of floor space.  

ADD A DOOR- You may add a door to the bell of any tent for $25.00 STOVE INSERTS are available for wedges sizes 3”, 4”, 5” or 6”. $45.00 installed. These are available only for flame retardant tents. OTHER WEDGES Military Wedges. *Ground Cloths for bell back wedges are made in two pieces. One rectangular piece for the main portion of the tent and a half moon piece for the bell area. 

TIPI POLES We supply the best quality pine tipi poles available. They are nice straight poles that have been hand peeled with an average diameter of 2¼”-3” at the base. As with any pole, it’s a good idea to treat your poles with a wood preserver. Not only will it increase their lifespan, it also makes them look great! It’s always smart to order an extra pole or two. That way, if you ever have to replace one in your set you won’t have to worry abouth the prohibitive shipping cost of ordering just one pole! The cost of your tipi poles must be pre-paid. We do not ship poles C.O.D.

TRIBAL VARIATIONS Smoke flap designs varied from tribe to tribe. The most weather resistant style is the Cheyenne, and that is our standard offering, but we can make you any tribal style that you would like. If you’d like a flap style other than the Cheyenne be sure to specify when ordering! The rest of your tipi will be iden- tical in design, regardless of which flap style you choose.

ALL TIPI POLES ARE DROP SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO YOU. VERY RARELY DO WE HAVE POLES AT THE FACTORY. ALL POLES WILLBE SENT FREIGHT COLLECT VIA TRUCK. YOU SHOULD ALLOW 6 TO 8 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY. DURING SPRING THE WAIT WILL BE LONGER. SHIPPING COSTS WILL VARY GREATLY BECAUSE OF MANY FACTORS. USUALLY A SET OF POLES COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $200 TO $500 TO SHIP. CALL US FOR AN ESTIMATE. POLES LONGER THAN 27’ CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EXPEN- SIVE AND DIFFICULT TO SHIP IN CERTAIN STATES. CHECK WITH US FOR DETAILS. YOUR DELIVERY SITE  MUST BE ACCESSIBLE BY SEMI-TRUCK, AND YOU MAY NOT CHANGE YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS AFTER THE ORDER IS PLACED. NOTE: Many truck lines refuse to haul poles longer than 27’, so you may not be able to get the longer poles! One way to still have a BIG tipi is to have us “bob the ends”. We can cut off the skinny end to shorten your poles to 27’ and you can use these poles for up to a 22’ tipi. This leaves you a small top crown and very little taper to your poles, but it will still give you the strength you’ll need for a larger tipi. You still must pay for the longer pole, we just cut the top off so that it can ship via truck and still be strong enough for the larger tipi. IMPORTANT TIPI POLE INFO!
