NOTE: Fire 10 x 12 with Front Screen Door, side windows and back window. Different features than standard wilderness tent. See photos below.
Wilderness canvas wall tents are the same tent models we also sell sell as glamping tents, hot tents and winter tents. Our wilderness tent is very high quality and the most reinforced canvas wall tent available. That is why we use it on all canvas tent models.
THE 10 X 12 FIRE TREATED TENT WITH FRONT SCREEN DOOR HAS THE FOLLOWING MODIFICATIONS TO OUR STANDARD WILDERNESS TENTS.
Photos of modifications are at top of page in photo section of our standard wilderness tents. Modification photos are at the end.
Front door has an inverted /upside down T door zipper. This allows one side of the door to open while the other side remains totally closed. In this manner, the tent sod cloth stays in place on both sides of the door. Especially beneficial if a stake in floor is used. Water and bugs cannot enter under the front of the tent as the sod cloth remains in place when the tent doors are open.
No vinyl corners. Reinforced canvas corners.
Adjustable heavy straps instead of stake loops around the bottom of the tent. Adjustable straps allow tightening the stake loop as necessary instead of repositioning the stake. Adjustable straps are very beneficial if tent is to be used on a platform. If requested, we will provide corresponding buckles to secure tent to platform.
Storm flap door buckles are metal with adjustable straps to secure storm storm flap. It should be noted that the storm flap is a free feature that protects the door zipper from rain and ice.
Back window is a 35" triangle with screen.
STOVE JACK. 5 1/2". Can be cut to 6"
FREE STORM FLAP. Protects zipper and closes door if you have zipper problems when camping.
FREE BACK WINDOW OR BACK DOOR. A $50 option for some tent companies.
FREE REINFORCED EAVE WITH WEBBING ENTIRE LENGTH OF EAVE.
FREE D RINGS SEWN INTO EAVE WEBBING. Much stronger than grommets pressed into canvas.
FREE DOUBLE LAYER OF CANVAS ON RIDGE. A major wear point that is reinforced.
VINYL SOD CLOTH. Acts an air seal and prevents canvas from touching any rain water which will wick up the canvas wall.
TENT BAG. Oversized to insure your tent fits in it.
RIDGE OPENINGS FOR LODGE POLE. Some hunters use lodge pole pine to make a tent frame when packing in to avoid hauling a heavy metal frame on horses.
FRONT ZIPPERED DOOR, YKK #10. Always insure your tent has YKK zippers or you might have zipper problems when you are camping.
200' OF ROPE AND 20 TENSIONERS that tightens the tent eave rope connecting to tent stakes.
Be advised that competitor frames that use cables are much weaker than normal frames. Cables are only used on frames that are not strong. Frames that have 3/4" conduit or thin walled aluminum frames normally have cables.
IF YOU WANT TO REDUCE THE COST OF YOUR FRAME, you can make your own frame using our tent frame angle kits and make tent frame from steel conduit available at all hardware stores. View tent and angles for more info.

Some companies only have 4' 7" sidewalls which severely restricts how much space you can actually use.
Strongly recommend you ask your suppliers the finished height of side walls before purchasing so you will not be surprised or disappointed upon delivery.
6 Foot option only available on FIRE, water and mildew treated tents.

FIRE RESISTANT CANVAS: Meets CPAI 84 fire retardant code. If a tent is not specifically treated for fire resistance it will burn quickly. Fire Resistant canvas will only burn when there is a flame source present on the canvas. When you remove the flame source the wall tent will stop burning. However, there is no wall tent made that will not burn.

SHIPPING BAGS for floors, fly, extended fly, porches and cook shacks options are not large enough to be used for storage bags.
Recommend you read TENT SET UP LOCATIONS before you set up your tent to avoid wind issues that can destroy your tent.
DISCOUNTED ACCESSORIES
THE FRAME IS DESIGNED NOT TO FIT TIGHT ON YOUR FRAME TO ALLOW FOR TENT CANVAS SHRINKAGE. All tent canvas will shrink 1-3 % after it becomes wet.
Fly is a protective tarp that covers the roof, extend 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 insure your tent does not leak is to put a fly on your tent.
I price my fly's approximately 25-50% below most of my competitors to encourage individuals to use a fly to protect their tent roof.
FLY ADVANTAGES- SUMMARY
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE LIFE OF YOUR TENT. 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 harmful 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 tent. Forces water and snow 1 foot away from side wall.
Water and snow slides 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.
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.
Canvas should be very taut on a tent frame, especially, if set up for extended periods of time and a fly always used. Fly should also be tight to avoid water in an eave trough. Water will eventually go through the fly if saturated for weeks. Canvas saturated in water will rot and mildew regardless of water mildew protection applied. There is no warranty for eave rot.
When you receive your tent, set it up, and completely wet it down. Especially on the seams, both inside and outside seams on your tent. Wetting down your tent will cause the canvas to shrink and help close the thousands of needle holes in your tent.
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.
WILDERNESS TENT AND ANGLE KIT special includes the tent and either a 3 rafter, 4 rafter or 5 rafter angle kit depending upon size of tent ordered.
Making a tent frame using steel conduit takes 60-90 minutes depending on size of your tent. Steel conduit is readily available at all hardware stores including Home Depot and Lowes. Only tool required is a hack saw or pipe cutter. All power tools that cut metal will also work.
Click ANGLE KITS for information on how to easily build a tent frame 6 from steel conduit.

I strongly recommend you read my recommendations regarding placing wall tents on a platform, click platforms.
I strongly recommend (click) 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.
Leaving a tent set up for extended periods of time. Water can collect on the roof in an "eave trough". The trough is the area at the bottom of roof just before the side horizontal tent frame poles. Canvas should be very tight on frame if set up for extended periods of time and a fly used. Fly should also be tight to avoid water and snow in an eave trough. Canvas saturated in water will rot and mildew regardless of water mildew protection applied. There is no warranty for eave rot.
Calling back to give you an update on my wilderness glamping package I purchased. Couldn't be happier. Camping went great even though we suffered through a lot of rain. No leaks like my previous tent. We all stayed warm and dry. Much appreciated . I am glad you recommended the larger stove. The Yukon 5 kept our 14 x 16 warm all night. The fly did its job. Rain easily slid off fly. All in all, a great trip. Jimmy
Just received my gear and it is high quality. The wilderness is really well made. I ripped out my eave grommets on my last tent during strong winds. The steel Dee rings on my new wilderness is a much better system. I had never never seen webbing on the eaves before. Webbing on the eaves is a big improvement. Totally impressed with the wilderness stove. Reinforcement bars are a big plus. Cured the stove like you recommended outside the tent. Curing the stove inside the tent would have been a total disaster with the smoke and burning paint smell. Thanks again for all your help and recommendations. Lionel
I bought 3 tents from you last year for my business. Your tents are exceptionally well made and I need tough tents like yours. I want three more 14 x 16 tents. Additionally, this fall I will be ordering another 3. Thanks again. Al
