How to Choose the Right Canvas Tent: Tips and Recommendations

/in /by

Canvas tents have been a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts for centuries. These tents are made of durable materials, and they can withstand harsh weather conditions. They provide a comfortable and spacious shelter for camping, hunting, and other outdoor activities. If you are planning to buy a canvas tent, you need to consider several factors to make an informed decision. In this article, we will provide you with tips on how to choose the right canvas tent for you.

Tip 1: Determine the Purpose of the Tent

The first step in choosing a canvas tent is to determine its purpose. Canvas tents come in different sizes and styles, and they are designed for specific purposes. For starters, if you need to pack your tent in by yourself (i.e. no four-wheeler or horse), then a canvas tent is not the right fit for you. Is this for a bunch of scouts, a group of hunting buddies and their gear, just your little family? Start by imaginging the ways in which you will use it.

Tip 2: Consider the Tent Size

The size of the tent is the next most important factor to consider. You need to ensure that the tent is spacious enough to accommodate all your gear and equipment. If you are planning to camp with your family or a group of friends, you should opt for a large tent that can comfortably accommodate everyone. Similarly, if you want a wood stove inside the tent, you’re gonna want 3 ft of clearance in every direction from the stove. For a thorough breakdown, check out this article on sleeping capacity.

Tip 3: Look for High-Quality Materials

Now that you know your size, next is the materials themselves.

Canvas tents come in three primary materials: cotton, polyester, and cotton-poly blend. Some people swear by the breathability of cotton but it really depends on how the polyester fibers are woven. In other words, a polyester tent can be just as breathable and insulating as a cotton canvas tent depending on who makes the tent and what their process is, so if you’re going polyester, be sure to ask about breathability. The main advantage of polyester is that it cannot rot since it is synthetic. Sure, mold can grow on the surface but it can’t eat the synthetic fibers.

Now, if only it were as simple as choose cotton, poly, or blend! You also need to consider the thickness of the canvas. Canvas is a little weird in that when discussing its thickness the common practice is to instead provide the weight in oz per square yard. 8 oz is considered very thin/light, 10 oz is the industry standard, 12 oz is considered heavy-duty, and in some cases you may see as high as 14 or 16 oz. This numbers are a good starting point for understanding the material. I would say 8 oz is good for temporary events, 10 oz is good for camping, 12 oz is ideal for hunting, and anything higher than that is for personal preference (but it starts to get difficult to assemble the tent).

That said, weight alone won’t tell you how strong the tent fabric is since how the fabric is woven together also matters. Ask the tent manufacturer for the fabric’s break and tear strength. Break strength measures the force needed to completely break the canvas, while tear strength measures the force required to continue tearing it from an initial cut. Additionally, each of these should come with two figures: one for the warp direction and one for the fill direction. In other words, one company’s 10 oz may be as strong as another company’s 12 oz. Do not purchase a canvas tent from a company unwilling to share this data.

Other aspects of the tent’s construction, such as the quality of the zippers, are harder to judge without seeing it in person, so I recommend reading online reviews.

Tip 4: Consider the Tent Style

Canvas tents come in different styles. Each style has its advantages and disadvantages, and you need to choose the one that suits your needs. Circular tents, such as the bell tent are generally easier to set up. They can be incredibly spacious with only two downsides: 1) The side walls are generally lower compared to wall tents. The industry standard for bell tent side walls is 1-2 ft but Elk Mountain Tents has 3 ft side walls. 2) Depending on how you arrange your gear, round tents can create unusable space. For example, imagine a rectangular cot against a curved wall. The larger your bell tent the less this is an issue.

Tip 5: Check the Tent Features

Canvas wall tents come with different features, such as stove jacks, windows, doors, vents, and angle kits. Look for a tent with features that suit your needs.

The frustrating thing is that most canvas tent companies boast their low prices but don’t openly broadcast that all of the extra features are additional. It’s not uncommon to see a tent go from $1000 to almost $2,000 simply becaue you wanted some windows, screen on the door, and a stove jack. So, consider what you want and then see which of the desired features come included in the base price.

Why Elk Mountain Tents?

There are lots of great canvas tent companies, here’s why you should go with Elk Mountain Tents:

  1. They only carry a few models so they can keep the prices low and include more standard features.
  2. Their polyester canvas only weighs 11 oz but has a break and tear strength comparable to 13 oz canvas.
  3. Most canvas tent companies do custom orders and take months. Elk Mountain Tents can ship yours today.

But what if you insist on cotton canvas? Shop local if you can, and if you can’t, then go with Davis Tent. Those guys are fantastic.

Safety Precautions for Using a Canvas Tent Stove: Tips from Elk Mountain Tents

/in /by

Canvas tents have been a popular choice for camping and outdoor enthusiasts for many years, and for good reason. They offer a comfortable and spacious living area while also providing protection from the elements in all four seasons. As winter camping grows in popularity, many people are looking to add a stove to their canvas tent for warmth and comfort. While this is a great idea, there are some important safety precautions that need to be taken to ensure a safe and enjoyable camping experience.

Elk Mountain Tents is a company that specializes in providing high-quality canvas tents and accessories for outdoor enthusiasts. Their tents come with more standard features at a lower cost and use stronger materials than traditional cotton canvas. That all said, they understand the importance of safety when it comes to using a canvas tent stove and have helped me compile a list of five important safety tips to keep in mind when using one.

Maintain Ventilation

One of the most important safety considerations when using a canvas tent with wood stove is ensuring proper ventilation. Stoves, yes even wood-burning ones, produce carbon monoxide and other harmful gasses that need to be vented outside the tent. Failure to properly vent the stove can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning which can be fatal.

The remedy is NOT to just open the door and windows. While this may help with the carbon monoxide poisoning you’ll still be filling your tent with carninogenic smoke.

Instead, make sure your tent has a stove jack installed. Basically, these are fireproof patches designed to allow you to put a stove pipe through the roof. These can usually be purchased for around $30 if you want to install them yourself or they can be added to a tent for an upcharge of around $100. These are included free of charge in all models of Elk Mountain Tents, including the Yukon Bell Tent.

Watch It

Would you make a big fire outside and then leave it for hours unattended while you go hunting? Of course not! The same is true for a fire that’s quite literally inside your tent. Accidents happen. Don’t let the fact that the fire is behind some metal fool you into thinking there is no fire there.

Keep Distance

All tent materials can burn. Even fire-treated materials will burn (although it won’t spread beyond the flame). So, whether you are thinking of your personal safety or merely trying to make your tent last as long as possible, you want to make sure you have enough distance between the stove and wall. We recommend 3ft from the wall unless you are using a stove shield. A stove shield is a fireproof mat that can be placed either on the walls or the floors to block heat from damaging the tent.

Use the Right Fuel

No, I’m not talking about throwing fireworks in there. I’m talking about using dry, seasoned wood for fuel. Wet wood can create excess smoke and buildup inside the stove pipe, not to mention cause popping from pockets of moisture inside the wood. The popping can shoot sparks whenever you open the hatch.

Also, avoid using accelerants such as gasoline or lighter fluid to start the fire. These things are more dangerous than helpful. Just keep it natural and start with small enough kindling.

Keep the Area Around the Stove Clear

Just like with the tent walls, when using a canvas tent stove, it is important to keep the area around the stove clear of any flammable materials. This includes bedding, clothing, and any other items that could potentially catch fire. Create a clear zone around the stove that is at least three feet in all directions (the same distance recommended for distance from the wall). While having heat shields can help reduce the square footage requirement, this is one of the reasons that a lot of people opt for one of the larger sizes, like the 13×20, so they don’t have to worry about giving the stove the proper amount of cleared space.

Use a Carbon Monoxide Detector

As mentioned earlier, carbon monoxide is a byproduct of burning wood in a stove. This gas is odorless and colorless, making it difficult to detect without proper equipment. With proper stove pipe ventilation this shouldn’t be a problem, but you can pick up a carbon monoxide detector for around $10 and they don’t take up much space.

Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions

Finally, it is important to follow the stove manufacturer’s instructions. Each stove is designed differently and may have specific safety considerations that need to be taken into account. For example, some stoves use different materials or have different sizes and may run hotter or cooler. Read the manual to know whether you need 2.5ft or 3.5ft or if it a certain kind of fuel is off limits.

FAQs

Q: What is the best type of canvas tent stove?

A: It depends on your budget mostly. Most wood stoves can heat most tent sizes just fine, so you just want to go for something sturdy that will last (as opposed to trying to find the right size, for example). Elk Mountain Tents only offers one wood stove model. It works great in all the tents.

Q: Can I use a canvas tent stove in a regular tent?

A: No, definitely not, even if you try to install a stove jack. Canvas tents are more durable and resistant to heat and sparks than regular tents. Regular tents are typically made of nylon that can melt or catch fire if they come into contact with a hot stove. This is one of the main advantages of a quality wall tent. You can have a warm little home away from home in the middle of the winter.

Q: How often should I clean my canvas tent stove?

A: If you want it to last forever, it is important to clean your canvas tent stove regularly to prevent the builup. Most manuals will say after each use but the average wood stove camper probably cleans it once or twice a year.

Conclusion

Using a canvas tent stove can be a great way to stay warm and comfortable while camping in colder weather. However, it is important to take safety precautions to prevent the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. Enjoy your next trip without burning down the house!

5 Tips to Extend the Lifespan of Your Glamping Tents: A Guide by Elk Mountain Tents

/in /by

Glamping has become a popular way to enjoy the outdoors while still having the comforts of home. However, with this type of camping comes the need for quality and durable tents that can withstand the elements. Elk Mountain Tents is a company that specializes in creating high-quality glamping tents that are designed to last. To help extend the lifespan of these tents, here are five tips to keep in mind.

Tip 1: Proper Cleaning and Maintenance

One of the most important things to do to extend the lifespan of a canvas tent glamping is to clean and maintain it properly. When camping, there are a lot of elements that can stick to the tent, such as dirt, dust, and tree sap. Over time, these elements can weaken the tent fabric and cause it to tear or fray.

To clean the tent, start by removing any debris or dirt with a soft-bristled brush or a clean cloth. Then, use a mild soap and warm water to wash the tent, taking care not to scrub too hard. Rinse the tent thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry completely before storing it away.

Regularly inspecting the tent for any signs of wear and tear is also important. If there are any small rips or tears, fix them as soon as possible to prevent them from getting larger. Be sure to choose a tent with a high rip and tear strength to ensure maximum life expectancy.

Tip 2: Proper Storage

When not in use, it is important to store the glamping tent properly. This will help prevent damage from moisture, insects, and rodents. Ideally, the tent should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area. The tent should be folded neatly and stored in its carrying bag or in a plastic storage container.

It is also important to ensure that the tent is completely dry before storing it. Moisture can cause mold and mildew to grow on the tent fabric, which can weaken it over time.

If you expect your tent to get wet regularly, it’s recommended that you buy a 100% polyester canvas tent. A true polyester canvas is incapable or rotting. While mold can grow on any surface, it is incapable of consuming the synthetic fibers. The same is true for animals and bugs.

Tip 3: Proper Use

Proper use of the glamping tent is also important for extending its lifespan. This means using the tent in the way it was intended and not overloading it with too much weight or putting too much stress on the seams and zippers.

It is also important to take care when setting up and taking down the tent. Rough handling can cause tears and damage to the tent fabric. Following the manufacturer’s instructions for setting up and taking down the tent can help ensure that it is done properly.

However, perhaps the two most important elements to remember are: 1) Properly staking down your tents. A good glamping tent should be able to take a lot but any tent can blow over with enough wind. 2) Know your tents limits. No tent is designed for hurricanes. Read the instructions to know when it’s time to take the tent down.

Tip 4: Protecting from the Sun

The sun can be a powerful force that can damage the fabric of the glamping tent over time. UV rays can cause the fabric to fade, weaken, and become brittle. To protect the tent from the sun, it is important to set it up in a shaded area or use a sunshade to block the sun’s rays.

Additionally, using a protective spray can help to prevent the fabric from fading and weakening due to the sun’s rays. Be sure to choose a spray that is safe for the type of fabric the tent is made of.

Polyester canvas is more resistant to UV rays but not immune to its impact.

Tip 5: Avoiding Harsh Chemicals

Harsh chemicals can damage the fabric of the glamping tent, causing it to weaken and deteriorate over time. Avoid using bleach, harsh detergents, and other chemicals on the tent. Instead, use mild soap and warm water to clean the tent. This is especially true for cotton canvas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How often should a glamping tent be cleaned?

A: Normally, we would recommend lightly cleaning the tent after every use. However, glamping setups are often fairly permenant, so instead we recommend *inspecting* after every occupant’s stay to look for any visible sign of dirt or wear and then only cleaning as needed.

Q: Can a glamping tent be left up all season?

A: Yes, however, understand that it can take a toll on any tent. When only used from time to time, a canvas tent can last decades, but if used like a home semi-permenantly and in all weather, you can expect to see some wear after 2 to 5 years depending on the quality of the material.

Q: How can I protect my glamping tent from animals?

A: Animals, such as rodents and insects, can be attracted to the scent of food and other items in and around the tent. To protect the tent, store food and other scented items in airtight containers and keep them away from the tent. Additionally, sealing any gaps or holes in the tent can help prevent animals from getting inside.

But if you are going to allow the campers to have food anyway, then the next most important thing is cleaning well between each use. Make sure there are no crumbs 🙂

Depending on the critter and the types of treatment used on the canvas, the cotton itself may be desirable to some. For longerm use, consider getting a polyester tent.

Conclusion

Taking care of a glamping tent can help to extend its lifespan and ensure that it provides a comfortable and enjoyable camping experience for years to come. Proper cleaning and maintenance, storage, use, protection from the sun, and avoiding harsh chemicals are all important considerations when caring for a glamping tent. By following these tips and being diligent in caring for the tent, campers can enjoy the great outdoors with peace of mind knowing that their glamping tent will last for many camping trips to come.

Prospector Tents: Perfect for Hunting Season

/in /by

As hunting season approaches, many hunters are gearing up with the necessary equipment for their hunting trips. One essential item for a successful and comfortable hunting trip is a canvas prospector tent.

“Prospector Tent” is essentially another word for a wall tent (the generic term), but others might call the same tent a safari tent, an outfitter tent, or a sheep herder tent. Each of these conjures up slightly different mental image, but they are all wall tents, or canvas tents with vertical side walls and a high ceiling. I think when people hear “prospector tent” they imagein something with a wooden frame on the outside, but most wall tents can accommodate a frame on the inside or outside, either from wood or metal, so difference is really just in how you imagine it.

At any rate, prospector tents provide shelter from the elements, ample space for gear and sleeping, and a cozy atmosphere for downtime between hunts. In this article, we’ll take a look at the best canvas prospector tent for hunting season (or any other season for that matter) and tell you a little more abou Elk Mountain Tents

The Best Canvas Prospector Tent for Hunting Season

When it comes to the best canvas wall tent for hunting season, the answer is the Elk Mountain Tents’ Canvas Wall Tent. Yes, there are two parts there. We recommend first the wall tent design, and second the company Elk Mountain Tents.

Wall tents are the perfect tent for hunting for several reasons. First, there is no unusable space. The high side walls means you can put your cot right up against the side wall. Bell tents, on the other hand, while just as sturdy and easier to set up, can’t accommodate as many rectangular cots. Second, almost any wall tent will come with a sturdy canvas material that can take a beating. Third, most wall tents can allow for a wood stove if you’ve got a stove jack installed. They make the perfect base camp. Lastly, many come with screened windows and extra ventilation in the ridge to avoid condensation.

But not all tent companies are the same which is why we recommend Elk Mountain Tents. I’ll keep it short: Elk Mountain Tents uses a superior canvas material with a higher break and tear strength that doesn’t not require the expensive annual rain, UV, and mold treatments that canvas does. Their unique canvas boasts the same breathability as cotton canvas but is naturally waterproof and can’t rot away due to mildew because of its synthetic fibers. Every tent comes with screened windows, a stove jack, and the necessary angle kit. Simply put, they sell better tents with more features and for a lower cost.

Canvas Wall Tent Camping: Tips and Tricks for a Comfortable and Memorable Outdoor Experience

/in /by

Canvas wall tents are the perfect option for those who want to experience the great outdoors while maintaining the comfort and safety of a traditional home. The tent’s sturdy construction, spacious interior, and versatile design make it ideal for a wide range of camping scenarios, including hunting trips, family vacations, and wilderness excursions.

If you’re planning to invest in a canvas wall tenta for your next adventure, then you need to be prepared with the right tips and tricks to ensure that your experience is unforgettable. In this article, we’ll explore some of the best tips and tricks for using a canvas wall tent, and answer some frequently asked questions to help you make the most of your camping experience.

Why Choose a Canvas Wall Tent?

Canvas wall tents have been around for centuries, and for good reason. Unlike dome tents made from nylon, canvas tents are highly durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, and even snow. They are also highly breathable, which means that they can regulate the temperature inside the tent and keep you cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.

Canvas wall tents are also very spacious, which makes them ideal for large groups or families who want to enjoy camping together. They typically come with a lot of headroom, so you won’t have to worry about bumping your head on the ceiling.

Choosing the Right Canvas Wall Tent

When it comes to choosing the right canvas wall tents for sale in the USA, there are several factors that you need to consider. The first thing to consider is the size of the tent. You should choose a tent that is large enough to accommodate your entire group comfortably. Don’t forget the kinds of gear you’ll need to bring along and whether you’ll be using a wood stove – a huge perk of a canvas tent!

Next, consider material. You’ve got three main choices: cotton, polyester, and cotton-poly blend. Cotton is the traditional option and it looks more rustic. Polyester is the scientifically improved option that doesn’t require expensive treatments. And blend tent offers a little bit of both. The more polyester in the canvas the stronger the material will be per weight.

From here, you need to consider features. Don’t be fooled when you see that a company has a super low price for their base model, because their base model probably doesn’t include windows (screened or otherwise), the angle kit for a frame, ridge openings, a door (screened or otherwise), a stove jack, etc. I recommend going all the way to the checkout on their website so you can see what the final price is before jumping in all the way. Think about what you will need and who can include most of what you will need for free.

Lastly, consider how long it will take to receive the tent. That sounds stupid and silly, like it’s a matter of just being impatient in a world that’s used to Amazon Prime, but in the market of canvas tents, it is a HUGE deal. Most canvas tent companies customize each tent individually, which sounds cool, and I suppose it is, but the result is that you’ll be looking at a minimum of a month or two to wait. Some tent companies are six months out. Other tent companies are not taking orders currently until their queue can get shorter. By contrast, Elk Mountain Tents, only carries a handful of models that can be continuously produced so that they are always ready to the ship the next day.

Tips and Tricks for Using a Canvas Wall Tent

Once you’ve chosen the right canvas wall tent, it’s time to start planning your camping trip. Here are some tips and tricks to help you make the most of your canvas wall tent camping experience:

  1. Practice Setting Up Your Tent

Before you head out on your camping trip, it’s a good idea to practice setting up your tent. This will help you become familiar with the tent’s features and ensure that you can set it up quickly and easily when you arrive at your campsite. Maybe your an outdoors person who got their Eagle Scout, but a wall tent is nothing like a nylon dome tent. It’s too complicated, but it can also be really frustrating when you’re trying to set up a big heavy tent by yourself in the dark and you’re struggling to read the instructions.

  1. Choose the Right Location

When choosing a location for your canvas wall tent, it’s important to find a spot that is level and free from rocks, roots, and other debris. You should also choose a spot that is sheltered from the wind and provides easy access to water and other resources. This step isn’t much different from setting up a dome tent, but you will want to consider adding a little extra space for the guy ropes.

  1. Use a Ground Cloth

To protect the bottom of your tent from damage, it’s a good idea to use a ground cloth. This will help prevent rocks and other debris from puncturing the bottom of your tent, and also provide an extra layer of insulation against the cold ground. Some tents include a sewn-in floor or a tie-in floor while others just use a tarp. We recommend the tie-in floor. Sewn-in floors are a pain in the but since you have to climb inside to set the tent up. Tarps are ok but their wear down pretty quickly since you’ll be walking on it.

  1. Use a Tent Stove

If you’re camping in cold weather, then a tent stove is a must-have accessory for your canvas wall tent. A tent stove will help keep you warm and comfortable inside your tent, even when the temperature drops below freezing. This is perhaps the biggest advantage of a canvas wall tent. Make sure you get a wall tent that comes with a stove jack. Most companies will charge $100+ to install a stove jack so that’s why we recommend finding one that comes with it standard. You can install it yourself though, but you’ll have to buy it separately and sew it in.

  1. Pack the Right Gear

When packing for your camping trip, make sure to bring all the gear you’ll need to stay comfortable and safe. This includes warm sleeping bags, thick blankets, portable lighting, cooking equipment, first aid kit, insect repellent, and sunscreen. This is all pretty obvious though and not much different for a canvas tent, other than the fact that if you’re packing a big sturdy tent like this you’ll probably also be bringing lots of gear since you’ll have to space to house it.

  1. Ventilate Your Tent

While canvas wall tents are highly breathable, it’s still important to ventilate your tent to prevent condensation buildup inside. Open windows and vents during the day to allow fresh air to circulate, and close them at night to keep the warmth inside. Look for or ask for ridge vents as a minimum. If you have to extra cash get screened windows.

Window flaps – you’ll notice some companies have the flap on the outside while others have it on the inside. The advantage to having it on the inside is that you can easily change the flap while you are inside with your warm stove. The problem, though, is that flaps on the inside mean it’s easier for water to get inside through the windows, so we recommend flaps on the outside (or both!).

  1. Properly Store Your Food

To prevent animals from raiding your campsite, it’s important to properly store your food. Use a bear-resistant container or hang your food from a tree away from your campsite to keep it safe. There’s nothing different here about canvas tents, but I wanted to mention it because wall tents really do feel like a home, and we want to keep lots of food in our homes 🙂 Don’t forget that this is still a tent despite the warm cozy feelings you may have inside!

  1. Keep Your Tent Clean

Keeping your tent clean is essential to prevent the buildup of dirt, debris, and odors. Sweep the floors regularly and wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth. It’s also a good idea to remove your shoes before entering the tent to prevent dirt and mud from being tracked inside. And most importantly don’t put it away wet! Cotton canvas will completely rot away if not properly cared for. That won’t happen with polyester, but you can still get a musty mildew growing on the surface even if the fibers can’t rot.

FAQs

  1. Can I use a canvas wall tent in the rain?

Yes, canvas wall tents are designed to withstand heavy rain and other harsh weather conditions. However, it’s important to properly set up your tent and use a ground cloth to prevent water from seeping into the tent. Polyester canvas will require no rain treatments but cotton canvas will handle rain better if treated. A cotton canvas tent won’t leak if weathered (usually), but the fibers are thick which means they can store that water and become super heavy and then take forever to dry before being able to be stored.

  1. How do I clean my canvas wall tent?

To clean your canvas wall tent, use a soft-bristled brush or a sponge and mild soap. Rinse with water and allow the tent to air dry completely before packing it away. Avoid harsh chemicals, especially if you’ve got a cotton canvas.

  1. Can I use a campfire inside my canvas wall tent?

It sounds like a dumb question, but a lot of people ask it. No, it is not safe to use a campfire inside a canvas wall tent. Obviously there are sparks but there’s also the serious issue of condensation, which is why you’ll notice that every wood stove also comes with a chimney.

  1. How many people can a canvas wall tent accommodate?

The number of people that a canvas wall tent can accommodate depends on the size of the tent. Most canvas wall tents come in sizes that can accommodate 4 to 12 people.

  1. Can I use a canvas wall tent for backpacking?

No, canvas wall tents are not suitable for backpacking as they are heavy and bulky. They are best suited for car camping or base camping.

Conclusion

Canvas wall tents offer an ideal combination of comfort, durability, and versatility for camping enthusiasts. By following the tips and tricks outlined in this article, you can ensure that your canvas wall tent camping experience is safe, comfortable, and memorable. Whether you’re planning a family camping trip or a hunting expedition, a canvas wall tent from a reputable company like Elk Mountain Tents can provide you with the perfect home away from home in the great outdoors.
