Canvas Tents

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Canvas tents are made from heavy fabric rather than synthetic tent material. They feel solid and breathable at a base camp, and they are heavier to carry and slower to dry than synthetic tents.

Common Shapes

Bell tents have a round footprint and a center pole. Wall tents have straight walls and more standing room. Pyramid tents use a single center pole and a square or round footprint. The shape decides floor space and headroom more than the name does.

What to Check Before You Buy

• Floor size and peak height, as stated by the maker.

• How long setup takes, and how many people it takes.

• Weight and packed size for transport and storage.

• How the tent needs to be dried and stored after use.
