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 Testimonials FLY IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED A 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. FLY ADVANTAGES - SUMMARY 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.  TENTS ON PLATFORMS 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.  ANGLE KITS available ( diagram of angle kit above in photo section) SYNTHETIC TENT OPTIONS ALUMINUM FRAMES are available.  These frames are lightweight to match your lightweight wall tent. Click aluminum frames for pricing. Prices significantly below competitors. Aluminum tent frames will ship 2-3 days after purchase. STANDARD FLY covers the entire roof and has a 1 foot overhang on each side to force any rain or snow 1 foot away from the roof. Stove jack area cut out and reinforced with webbing to match stove pipe opening in tent. Clear poly material - 100% UV protection. Fly has center ridge grommets on each end and grommets along sides. Includes ropes, tensioners. EXTENDED FLY is an 8' extension to the front of a normal fly. Provides a covered area for storage, a shaded area or rain barrier if you want to sit outside during inclement weather. FLOOR:  Loose synthetic floor. Grommets at corners for staking. Floor does not have a cut out area for stove. It is best to have a continuous floor to keep bugs and water out when using your stove. Insure you put a non-flammable material under stove. We have fireproof mats available for $35. SEWN IN SCREEN DOOR: Screen covers the entire width of the tent. Some companies only provide a 5-6¹ wide screen area. Zippered with ties to tie back screen door when not needed.

PLAN FOR A TENT STOVE TAKING UP 7' OF SPACE ALONG A WALL.  This includes stove and heat standoff distances from front wall and to a cot. PURCHASING ALUMINUM TENT FRAME ANGLE KITS and then purchasing 1 inch inside diameter, thin walled, aluminum 10 ' sections at a local hardware store can be the most economical approach to purchasing an internal frame. However, check with your local hardware stores if aluminum 1" tubing is available and prices.  In many instances, purchasing an aluminum tent frame is most economical MOST LIGHTWEIGHT WALL TENTS SIZES IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP.

Sometimes these items can ship the same day ordered if the order is received before 11:00 am Pacific time. DETERMINING WHICH TENTS & SIZE TO BUY: The amount of square footage in a tent increases tremendously when going up one size. Insure you buy the size that fully meets your requirements. Compare the price difference % between the 2 sizes of canvas tents you are considering vs the % increase in square footage gained by purchasing the larger size.  The purchase price % increase will be significantly less than the % square footage increase. Stove area requirement in a tent must be considered in all sizes of tents: You must plan on a stove taking up to 7 feet along a wall in all family camping tents. There is an automatic 2 + feet standoff from the front wall due to the stove jack location. The stove itself is normally around 2 feet in length. There is normally a 3 feet heat standoff distance from the stove before you can place a cot or table. If you have trouble selecting between 2 different tent sizes, chalk out the different sizes on your driveway and then chalk out stove cots, table and any storage area.  Chalk out both sizes of tents side by side to see the significant difference between the two sizes. Hopefully, chalking tent sizes will help you make a decision. One more note, I have never heard anyone say they wish they had purchased a smaller tent. The tent area fills up very quickly with all your cots, gear and stove. STOVE PIPE ABOVE RIDGE OF TENT: It is best to have your stove pipe long enough to extend at least 6 -12 inches or more above the tent ridge. Having the stove pipe above the tent ridge allows the wind coming from any direction to blow sparks away the tent roof thus reducing the possibility of spark holes being burnt in the roof. If possible, try to position your canvas tent so the stove jack side is downwind from prevailing winds to reduce the possibility of sparks landing on the roof. To insure your stove pipe is above the ridge buy a stove with 8' of stove pipe or buy extra stove pipe.  Many stoves only have 6' 6" of pipe.  Both our Wilderness stove and Yukon stove have 8' of pipe and have the extra long 18" legs vs the 12" legs on other stoves.                                                                                                                                               TESTIMONIALS Rich, thanks for explaining all the different features and options options available on the lightweight wall tents and Wilderness Stove.  Made buying the tent much easier once I knew what the hell I was doing.
