WALL TENT FLY - 8 OZ POLY

THIS TENT FLY IS DESIGNED FOR WILDERNESS WALL TENTS. The Wilderness Wall Tent features a stove jack in the front left corner (as you would enter the front door) that is 30" from the front door and 30" from the top of the sidewall.

CAMPING FLY IS INCLUDED IN THE WILDERNESS TENT PACKAGE AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.

• 8 OZ CLEAR POLY (not a thin tarp like at Walmart)
• REINFORCED CUT-OUT FOR STOVE PIPE: Has a 16" square cut-out reinforced with webbing to match the stove pipe opening in the Wilderness Wall Tent’s roof. The location of the opening in the tent is 30" from the front door and 30" from the top of the sidewall.
• INCLUDES 200 FEET OF ROPE & 20 TENSIONERS: Grommets on each ridge end and D-rings along the sides.
• This tent fly cover only has a shipping bag (not a large storage bag).

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND A FLY: A fly extends the life of your tent.

WHY YOU NEED A FLY

• Protects the canvas roof from stove sparks from burning a hole in the roof. It is much better to repair a fly or replace a fly than repair a canvas roof or replace a tent due to spark holes.
• Another moisture barrier. There are thousands and thousands of stitching needle holes in the roof. Normally, these holes close once the canvas gets wet. However, occasionally a needle hole will not close easily. A wall tent fly will prevent any possible water leaks.
• Keeps the roof clean. When camping under trees, pitch and dirt rain down on your tent roof. The only way to remove pitch is to use a harsh detergent, which destroys the water, mildew, and fire treatment. Then you will definitely need a fly because the roof will likely leak.
• Takes water and snow up to 1 foot past each side of the tent. The camping fly overhangs 8-12 inches past each sidewall to take snow and water from the tent walls, reducing the possibility of water coming into your tent.
• Prevents rain from running down your roof and into the side windows. Occasionally, a side window will leak if not using a tent fly cover. Sometimes the stitching needle holes will not close properly.
• Insulation. The space between the tent roof and fly is heated due to the heat from the tent escaping through the roof.
• Protects the roof from UV rays. The first part of your tent that deteriorates is the roof due to UV rays. A fly increases the life expectancy of your tent greatly.
• Set up. The D rings are along the walls so the fly can be staked down.

If you are a hunter and are in the woods for extended periods, I RECOMMEND YOU BUY A WALL TENT FLY or some type of very heavy-duty poly tarp to protect your tent’s roof. Additionally, there are thousands and thousands of needle holes in your roof. Ordinarily, those needle holes will close up when dousing your tent with water when you shrink the tent. However, sometimes there are needle holes that don't close up. It is best to buy a fly or heavy tarp so you don't have surprise leaks during hunting camp.

There is no guarantee on the fly in windy conditions. There is no fly made that can withstand normal fly placement on a tent in windy conditions. During windy conditions, take the tent fly cover down to prevent wind from getting under the fly. A camping fly flapping in the wind will tear out the grommets and eventually tear the fly to shreds.
