At the Tent Shop we use only the the highest quality and longest lasting canvas for our tents. For that reason, we have chosen to use Army Duck Double-Fill Canvas for all of our Wilderness Canvas Tents.
Army duck canvas is known for its durability and strength, high water resistance, making it an excellent choice for rugged outdoor activities. Army duck is rated as a superb 4 season weather canvas.
Army Duck Canvas is made with two-ply yarns in both the lengthwise and widthwise directions, making it denser, smoother, and sturdier than regular canvas. This is called a "double fill" weave. Some companies only use single fill canvas.
Bottomline: Army duck is high-quality canvas that is extremely durable, strong, breathable, mold resistant and weather-resistant.
Normally, all wilderness canvas tent models are in stock. I try to keep 1000-1500 in inventory. Most wilderness tents ship within 2 days of ordering.
Montana canvas tents normally ship 2-4 weeks after ordering. Each tent is made after a customer placing an order.
Re-enactor Civil War canvas tents and trader canvas tents are in inventory. Ship time is 1-2 days after order.
Spike tents ship 1-2 days of ordering,.
Size of tent required is based on number of people in the tent, tent storage, if a stove will be used and comfort and space required. Click tent sleeping capacity to view diagrams of each tent size with recommended sleeping capacity. Some competitors list totally unrealistic sleeping capacity for their tents. Example, a competitor states an 8x10 tent sleeping capacity of 6. Not possible. Tent Shop capacity is based on 50 years sleeping in tents with average space and comfort required per individual, Rich, owner.
Yes, it is very weather resistant. As explained previously, our tents use army duck double fill canvas, The highest quality canvas available and a very natural water resistant canvas. In addition, all tents are treated with a water and mildew treatment which increases water resistant capability.
The tent has a storm flap on both doors that protects the zippers and helps keep the wind out. At the bottom of the tent is a 12" vinyl sod cloth that is sewn into the canvas wall. The vinyl sod cloth keeps the wind and rain from blowing in under the tent. The ridge ends have flaps to keep the wind from blowing in.
The Wilderness tent is the strongest and most durable tent available. It is made of army duck double fill canvas, has a double layer of canvas on the ridge, has webbing reinforced eaves with D rings and reinforced at all stress points. YKK zippers, the industry standard, is used for all door and window zippers. No other tent on the internet is more reinforced than the wilderness. It is a rugged tent tent that can be used in the most demanding and harshest environments.
We have a 2 year warranty to demonstrate its quality. Most other companies only have a 1 year warranty.

Set up is very easy using an internal metal frame. No tools are required. Tent set up video is provided. Set up is much easier with 2 or 3 people. After setting up the first time the set up becomes much quicker. I color code the last 3 inches of my tent frame rafter and eave poles for quick identification. The legs will have I have rubber leg bottoms on the leg poles.
Canvas tents vary in weight from a 8x10 tent weighing 50 lbs to 120 lbs for a 16x24 tent. For tent camping at drive to camp sites 1 person can easily maneuver and set up a 8x10 or 10 x12. A 12x14 can be set up by 1 person, however 2 is better. 2 people are required for14x16 canvas tent and above.
Persons required for portability and set up is based on an internal frame being used.
The wilderness is our heavy duty canvas tent. It is designed for the harshest weather. We have photos from a satisfied customer showing 1 foot of snow on the tent roof using a lodgepole frame. It should be noted that a lodgepole frame has no rafters to support the snow load on the roof. The snow weight on the tent roof is very high. It is not recommended to have a 1 foot snow load on the roof with no rafters. However, this demonstrates and proves we have one the best heavy duty canvas tents for sale on the internet.
Our canvas strength is second to none. Click to view my canvas strength video where I tie a rope loop to the eave D ring and then I stand on it. I put 200 lbs of pressure on the canvas. Our Wilderness canvas tents for sale are exceptionally strong and durable.
Fire treated canvas is fire resistant but not fireproof. A continuous flame or extreme heat will cause fire treated canvas to burn. However, if the heat source is removed the fire treated canvas will stop burning. Water mildew treated canvas will continue to burn even when the heat source is removed. It is recommended to buy fire treated canvas.
Always have fire treated material under the stove and a minimum of 12 inches to the front of stove. Heat from the bottom of your stove can catch dead grass on fire and melt vinyl floors or indoor carpets. When opening the stove door hot coals can accidentally fall out of your stove and cause a fire. Again, insure your fireproof material under the stove extends 12 inches past the stove door.
The most common fire is a stove jack canvas flap fire that spreads to the rest of the roof. The stove jack canvas flap is used to cover the stove jack hole when a stove is not used. The stove jack flap must be tightly rolled up and securely tightened with square knots. Securing with square knots prevents the canvas flap from touching a very hot stove pipe which will cause a fire.
Always keep very heavy duty leather gloves near the stove in the event of any stove issues. Occasionally, strong wind gusts occur that could make your stove pipes loose. With heavy duty leather gloves you can quickly reassemble the stove pipes.
Wood lodge pole frames are normally used by hunters in the back country to avoid carrying in a metal frame on horses. A lodgepole frame takes much more time to set up than a steel frame. When hunters are returning to the same location annually they often leave the lodgepole frame standing up underneath a tree. If someone does not use the poles for firewood the poles can be used annually to avoid the process of making more pole frames. A lodge pole guide is provided.
I do not buy any canvas tents from China. Or, any other product even though China has the lowest prices. This has been my policy since 2002. Other tent companies buy most of their tents and canvas from China because it is cheaper.
China has unfair trade practices. China places import restrictions on US products. Manipulates its currency for an automatic 20% discount to make their prices much lower. Cheap low quality products takes jobs from our country.
Additionally, China, per GDP, pollutes 3 times as much as the United States. China pollutes more each year while the US is reducing its carbon footprint.
I occasionally have used canvas tents but not very often. Be very careful buying a used canvas tent. On some used tents there are no labels detailing what treatments have been applied to the canvas.
We have small tents for those that hunt or camp alone. The smallest available is the 8x10. Available in both the wilderness and Montana models. Based on my experience, an 8x10 canvas tent is very cramped for space for 2 people. Remember the stove, and stove heat standoff distances, normally takes up most of the left wall. Therefore, back wall and side wall will be for sleeping bags. Not much room remaining for 2 people's gear. Crowded but it can be done.
