Lightweight Spike Tents in stock and can ship 1-2 business days after purchase.
When I designed the lightweight spike tent I wanted to make it stronger and more durable than other lightweight tents. We put webbing on the inside seams to give it much more strength. There are no other spike tents that have reinforced webbing seams. Rich, owner.
The lightweight spike tent is made of an extremely strong polyester material. 7 oz per square yard makes it approximately twice as strong as most other synthetic tents.
The 7 oz polyester testing shows it is also 75% stronger than 10.1 oz canvas.
The lightweight spike tent has a 4' sidewall.
In order to properly secure this tent to the ground, there is a loop for stakes every 4' along the bottom of the sidewall. There will also be a D- ring every 4' along the top of the sidewall.
The seams have tape to help prevent leaks. However, I still recommend a fly for any tent to protect the roof from UV rays, dirt and any possible leaks.

FLY IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED:
Fly's extend the life expectancy of your tent. The only way to insure your tent does not leak is to put a fly on your tent.
Do not place a fly on the tent allowing the fly to touch the side wall poles. Holes will be worn into your fly if fly is in contact with top of the side poles.
Always tie down the front and back fly ridge with rope provided. These fly ridge ropes will make your fly taut, along with fly eave ropes, that will allow water to run off your taut fly easier.
It is best to use your fly ridge ropes to connect to grommets on each ridge end of the fly to pull the fly taught so rain easily runs off the fly.
EVERY MONTH WE GET CALLS FROM CUSTOMERS WHO BUY A FLY AFTER USING THEIR TENT.
Normally customers have spark holes in their tent roof. Or dirt, pitch and tar on their roof that won't come off. A fly is strongly recommend at the time of purchase to avoid possible roof issues. And most importantly, a fly will extend the life expectancy of your tent. Rich
FLY ADVANTAGES - SUMMARY
-
Significantly increases life of tent by protecting roof. The roof is the first part of a tent that normally fails.
-
Prevents stove spark burn holes in roof. It is much easier and cheaper to replace a fly, if necessary, than a tent.
-
Provides another moisture barrier to prevent leaks.
-
Protects the cotton canvas from UV rays. Put a cotton shirt outside during the summer and see how UV rays destroys the cotton.
-
Keeps roof clean. When camping under a tree, a tree rains down dirt during rain storms.
-
Prevents pitch and tar getting on the roof. Removing tree pitch and tar requires a harsh detergent which destroys the roof water, mildew and fire treatment. Then you will have leaks in your roof.
-
Fly provides 1 foot overhang on each side of the tent forcing water and snow 1 foot away from side walls.
-
Water and snow slides off fly quicker than canvas roof as the fly is completely smooth. Helps prevent snow build up.
-
Provides some insulation value when there is an air gap between fly and roof.
EXTENDED FLY
- Extends 6 feet to the front, on door end nearest stove jack.
- Extended fly supported by 6' pole in center of fly and side poles.
Rebar stakes. Heavy duty to insure your tent does not blow away in high winds. Remember, your tent is just a large sail if it not staked securely to the ground.
Fire Mat. Fire proof mat for under your stove. Always have a fire proof material under a stove when using a floor in any tent.
FRONT & BACK SCREEN DOORS
Screen door covers entire end of tent to provide more ventilation. Many other spike tents offered on the internet have only a 5-6' wide screen door.
BUG PROOF
Spike tent doors have an inverted T-zipper which makes it totally bug proof when the canvas door is zipped.
All Selkirk SCREEN DOORS have an inverted T screen zipper. Which means the screen door is totally bug proof also when screens are in use.
