RECENT REVIEW "Great lightweight wall tent. Tent is lightweight but very strong with the double layer of roof material and webbing on eaves. Very impressed. Guy."
Lightweight wall tents made of highest quality synthetic material available.
Lightweight Spike Tents in stock and can ship 1-2 business days after purchase.
When I designed the lightweight wall tent I wanted to make it stronger and more durable than other lightweight wall tents.
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 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. Rich, owner.

Recommend you read TENT SET UP LOCATIONS before you set up your tent to avoid wind issues that can destroy your tent.
FIRE RESISTANT: Meets CPAI 84 fire retardant code. If a tent is not specifically treated for fire resistance it will burn quickly. Fire resistant material will only burn when there is a flame source present on the canvas. When you remove the flame source the synthetic wall tent will stop burning. However, there is no wall tent made that will not burn.
Read more Tent TestimonialsA fly is a special tarp that extends the life expectancy of your tent. Also, there are thousands of needle holes in your tent and occasionally a needle hole does not close when the tent is wetted down. The only way to ensure your tent does not leak is to put a fly on your tent.
It is much cheaper to repair a tent fly than a tent. A tent fly is a must on a synthetic tent if using a wood stove to prevent possible spark holes. I use a fly on my synthetic tent at all times, Rich, owner.
I price my fly's approximately 25-50% below my competitors to encourage individuals to use a fly to protect their tent roof. Rich
RECOMMENDATION: ALWAYS KEEP YOUR TENT ROOF AND FLY TAUT SO WATER CAN QUICKLY BE REMOVED FROM YOUR TENT. Water can collect on the roof in an "eave trough" which is a low area just before the sidewall created by a not tight roof or loose fly. Water collecting in an eave trough will freeze in cold weather and damage your tent.
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES LIFE OF TENT BY PROTECTING ROOF. The roof is the first part of a tent that 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 material from UV rays.
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.
Fly provides 1 foot overhang on each side of tent carrying water and snow 1 foot away from side wall.
Water and snow slide off fly quicker than canvas roof as the fly is completely smooth.
Provides some insulation value when there is an air gap between fly and roof.
Click SLEEPING CAPACITY for each size of tent. It is sometimes difficult to determine the correct size required and hopefully sleeping capacity info page will be of some assistance.
I strongly recommend you read my recommendations regarding placing wall tents on a platform, click platforms.
I also recommend tent frame leg supports on platforms which are screwed onto the platform. Wood platforms are smooth surfaces compared to the ground. You don't want to have tent frame legs slide off a platform during high winds.
