HUNTER Canvas Tent is made of Sunforger treated, "Army Duck-Double Fill". High quality canvas tents.

Warranty: Hunter CabinTent warrants to the original purchaser its wall tents to be free of defects in material and workmanship. Any returns must have prior authorization and freight prepaid. Hunter cabin tents will be repaired or replaced at our discretion when returned to us. Hunter Cabin Tent makes no other warranty whether expressed or implied and shall not be liable for damages resulting from use or other outside forces beyond our control.

Ange kits: Purchasing angle kits and then purchasing 1” inside diameter, thin walled, electrical conduit (slightly less than 1 1/4 " outside diameter) at a local hardware store is the most economical approach to purchasing an internal frame. Internal frame shipping charges are very high due to the weight of an internal frame. I will provide assistance if you have trouble understanding angle kit instructions. Typical frame savings using an angle kit on a 12x14 internal frame is $200. For more info go to Angle Kit page.

Frames designed specificly for a Hunter cabin tents and are at the bottom of this webpage. Other types of frames are available at Wall Tent Frames.

PRICES

DETERMINING WHAT TENT SIZE TO BUY: The amount of square footage in a cabin tent increases tremendously when going up one size in a tent. Insure you buy the tent size that fully meets your requirements. Also compare the price difference between the 2 tent sizes you are considering vs the increase in square footage gained by purchasing the larger tent size

NOTE: 10.1 oz Sunforger weighs approx 4 - 10 lbs less than a Sunforger FIRE treated tent, depending on tent size.
Suggested occupancy based on a stove, kitchen table and all cots along walls leaving the center open.

Other tent sizes available upon request.

The extra expense is worth the piece of mind that your tent will not easily catch on fire.

Sometimes, it is cost effective to buy another small tent to use as a cook shack than buying a cook shack. The small tent can be used as a cook shack and you can use the smaller tent when there are less people hunting.

Floor: Floor sewn in or stake in floor. 13 oz brown or white canvas water/mildew treated or poly material which is recommended. Cabin Tents with sewn in floors have an inverted T zipper. See Hunter Pyramid Tent on main Wall Tent Page to view zipper. Stove zippered area to remove floor when stove in use. NEVER place a stove on any material that is flammable. Occasionally when you open the stove door embers or sparks will land on the floor.
Recommendation: I prefer the vinyl floor as it is very water proof and easy to clean. Canvas floors may begin to mildew if in contact with wet ground for prolonged periods of time. Especially if coolers and other objects are on the canvas floor which prevents the canvas from breathing.
Rain Fly: Stove jack area cut out and reinforced with webbing on all hunter cabin tents. Clear poly material - 100% UV protection. Fly center ridge grommets on each end. Includes ropes, tensioners, stakes/spikes. A rain fly protects the canvas from ultra violet rays, provides another moisture barrier, keeps the canvas roof clean by preventing sap, pitch and dirt from accumulating on the roof when the tent is set up near trees. And most importantly, the fly protects the tent roof from any stove sparks that might land on the canvas and burn pin holes in the roof. The fly should rest on the tent ridge and have a 4-6 gap between the fly and the eave. This air gap allows air circulation between the fly and the canvas roof to dry the canvas when it becomes wet. If you place the fly directly onto the canvas roof there is a possibility of rot and mildew forming. Wherever there is mildew on a tent, that area is no longer waterproof. If you currently have a tent with a leaking roof, do not treat the canvas with canvak unless the roof leaks only at the seam. When you treat an entire roof with canvak, the canvak seals the cotton pores making your roof airtight which prevents the canvas from breathing. As a result you can get condensation inside the tent just like a synthetic tent.

STORING CABIN TENT FOR THE WINTER. YOU MUST INSURE YOUR TENT IS TOTALLY DRY , INCLUDING GUY ROPES BEFORE STORING YOUR TENT. Regardless of what type of treatment you have on your tent, I guarantee you will have mildew and rot on your tent if you store the tent when it is damp or wet. If you can't set up a wet tent outside to dry properly, your only option is to hang the tent in a shop or garage. If you don't want to set up a frame, use a rope for a ridge pole and secure the guy ropes to something to pull the roof fairly tight. Leave the garage or shop open if possible to let the wind help dry the tent. Double check to insure your guy ropes are dry if you store them with the tent. Anywhere a wet guy rope touches the tent will cause the canvas to mildew and rot. If you are unfortunate and have mildew or rot on your tent, your tent will never be water resistant in the areas of rot/mildew unless you apply canvak to the dry rot/mildew areas after you clean the area with diluted bleach water. Only apply the bleach water blend to the rotted area as the bleach concentrate will destroy the water/ mildew resistance on any area it is used

STOVE AREA REQUIREMENTS IN A TENT: You must plan on a stove taking up to 7 feet along a wall in your tent. There is an automatic 2 + feet standoff from the front wall due to the stove jack location. The stove itself is normally around 2 feet in length. There is normally a 3 feet heat standoff distance from the stove before you can place a cot or table.

STOVE PIPE ABOVE RIDGE OF TENT: It is best to have your stove pipe long enough to extend 6 inches or more above the tent ridge. Having the stove pipe above the tent ridge allows the wind coming from any direction to blow sparks away the tent roof thus reducing the possibilty of spark holes being burnt in the roof.

FIRE TREATED CANVAS VS STOVE SPARKS: Stove sparks will burn holes in a fire treated roof.

WHEN COMPARING TENT PRICES YOU NEED TO ENSURE EACH TENT

Uses the same canvas material, for example, Army Duck,10.1 oz Sunforger.
Has the same standard features such as stove jack, sod cloth, rope w/tensioners, stakes, door.
If one tent lacks standard features you must add option cost to the normal price of the tent for a valid price comparison.
Tent frame or angle kit cost should also be included as costs significantly vary between companies.
