TENTAGE

All of our tents and lodges are manufactured by Panther Primitives, a company with a known reputation. They are made from the finest materials and backed up by a three year material warranty and a lifetime workmanship warranty. These ensure a lodge that will provide years of enjoyment.

Because of the wide variety of tents available, it is impossible to keep tents in inventory. They are made for your order. Shipping time varies throughout the year according to demand. Contact us for the current shipping interval as well as shipping costs.

CANVAS

You may choose between four canvasses for your tent:

FLAME RETARDANT 10 OZ: This treatment is flame retardant, water repellent and mildew resistant with a 5.1% shrinkage factor. The canvas is 100% cotton army duck. In an army duck the yarns are twisted before being woven into canvas. The result is a tighter weave and increased strength. Our army duck is 54x42, 2 ply cotton. This canvas is very white and holds its color extremely well. The flame retardancy is just that, a RETARDANT! This canvas meets California Fire Marshal's Code CPA1-84, the standard by which flame retardant treatments are measured. Check with your Attorney General's office for flame retardancy requirements on tents in your state.

SUNFORGER: Sunforger starts with a 10.38 oz. cotton army duck which is an extremely tight weave. Water repellency, marine finishing and boatshrunk treatment are added. The result is a canvas that sheds water, resists mildew, mold, algae and fungi, and has only about a 1.5% shrinkage factor. Because it is so lightweight, tipis made of Sunforger are significantly lighter in weight that tipis of other canvasses, and tests indicate that Sunforger holds its color well.

FLAME RETARDANT SUNFORGER 10.38 OZ.: This canvas has the same properties as Sunforger, but with a flame retardancy added. This canvas is lighter in weight than the above flame retardant, but just as strong. It is not a bright white like the other but it breathes better and has only about a 1.5% shrinkage factor. This one is a slightly better canvas. The flame retardant is only a RETARDANT! Please exercise caution with any canvas when near fires, woodstoves, etc. This canvas meets California Fire Marshal's Code CPA1-84, the standard by which flame retardant treatments are measured. You should check with your Attorney General's office for flame retardancy requirements on tents in your state.

FLAME RETARDANT SUNFORGER 13 OZ.: The ULTIMATE! This extra heavy duty canvas is the same superior treatment as above, applied to an army duck that is 25% heavier. The result is a SUPER-CANVAS for extra harsh climates and a longer lasting tent. On average, 13 oz. Sunforger has 30% more tear strength than the 10.38 oz. version. This is the toughest canvas on the market!
