How to Measure Your Wall Tent for a Precision Fit

Choosing the right frame or angle kit starts with accurate measurements. Proper dimensions prevent loose fabric, pressure points, and early wear. Because our frames and angle kits are custom-built to match your specific tent, precise numbers are required. Please do not round your measurements.

Measurement Best Practices

Lay it Flat: Spread your tent out on level ground.
Keep it Taut: Have a partner help you hold the canvas taut, but not over-stretched, while measuring.
Measure the Rear: It is often easiest to measure the back wall (opposite the door) to avoid interference from zippers.
Older Tents: If your tent is several years old, measure the wall height 5 to 10 inches above the bottom edge. This area stretches less and provides a more accurate number for a supportive frame.

The Four Primary Measurements

(A) Wall Height: The distance from the bottom edge of the canvas to the seam where the wall meets the roof. This sets the height of your frame legs.

(B) Rafter / Slope: Measure from the center of the ridge (ridge grommet) to the seam where the roof and wall intersect. Do not include the eave or overhang.

(C) Width: The full span from one side wall to the other. This determines the geometry of your peak and eave angles.

(D) Length: Measure seam to seam along the ridge. This establishes the ridge pole length and the number of rafter sections required.

What Information Do We Need?

Angle Kits: Require measurements B and C.

Full Internal Frames: Require A, B, C, and D.

Lightweight Aluminum Frames: Require A, B, C, D, and your total Ridge Height (Ground to Peak).
