An angle kit is a series of brackets to make a frame and does not include frame poles.
Purchasing a wall tent angle kit is the most economical approach to purchasing a tent frame.
Tent frame fittings, corners, or joint kits are other terms for tent angle kits. Using tent connectors can save $200 - $500, depending on frame size.
All angle kits normally ship within 1-3 days of ordering.

They are the connectors that allow you to connect 1” electrical metal tubing (EMT) to make an internal wall tent steel frame. These tent fittings connect the legs and rafters to side eave poles and to the ridge poles.
Angle kits for tent frames are based on the number of rafters required for a specific size of tent. For example, a 10’ x 12’ tent would normally have 3 rafters requiring a 3-rafter angle kit. Each rafter requires 3 angles: 1 on each side of the frame and 1 at the ridge. The wall tent angle kit would consist of 9 angles/tent connectors.
A general rule is to have a rafter every 4-5 feet, depending on snow loads. In areas of high snow, always discuss rafter requirements with a sales agent. Wall Tent Shop always recommends more rafters in snowy conditions. If leaving a tent up over winter, rafters every 2 feet are recommended. 2-foot spacing doesn’t guarantee your tent roof won’t collapse from snow loads.
EMT is readily available at all hardware stores. The 1” stands for the inside diameter of the metal tubing. EMT works great for wall tent angle kits and frames, as the tubing is made of steel and is very rigid.
Hack saws, band saws, and circular saws are the most common tools to use when cutting EMT. Whatever type of saw is used, use safety glasses and heavy leather gloves to help prevent injuries. Extreme caution and safety must be exercised whenever any saw is used.
The tent manufacturer can tell you what degree of angle is required for angle kits for tent frames. Most tent manufacturers sell the wall tent angle kit to make a frame, and those angles should work perfectly. If you are not purchasing tent connectors from the tent manufacturer, you will need to provide the measurements of the tent width and slope. The slope is your rafter length, top center of the ridge to where the roof and wall intersect. For smaller tents, angles for tent fittings are normally 110 degrees at the roof and 125 degrees at the walls. 12’ x14’ and larger tents normally have 120 degrees at both the ridge and walls. Always provide measurements before purchasing an angle kit. Wall Tent Shop has all common degree angle kits and custom wall tent angle kits in stock.
Typical savings are $200-$400, depending on the size of the tent. Factors to consider when deciding to buy or make a frame:
- Conduit costs can vary greatly depending on your location.
- Do you have the time to buy conduit, haul it home, and take the 2-4 hours required to make a frame?
- How soon do you need the frame?
Most tent companies can make a tent and frame within 1-2 weeks. Wall Tent Shop has thousands of tents and all frame sizes in stock if you’d prefer not to use a wall tent angle kit with tent connectors to make your own frame. We normally ship the next business day.
