We reinforce all stress points to insure many years of enjoyment and service from our wall tents. In addition to this, all of our standard tents come with quality features! Remove Moisture Before Storing You should always remove moisture from your tent prior to storing the tent after your usage. This is because moisture will inevitably gather on your tent in the form of snow, rain, morning dew and natural condensation. Spread out the tent in an indoor garage or shed until the canvas and sod cloth is completely dry. This usually takes approximately 48-72 hours. Setting up ladders or other elevated items in the area and spreading the tent out over the top can sometimes expedite the drying process. Once the canvas is completely dry you can now roll the tent and store it away until your next trip. Storing a wet or damp tent, despite being treated for mold or mildew resistance, can still develop mold. WHY 100% COTTON? Breathability! The reason breathability is so important is to minimize and eliminate condensation. Just 4 people in a tent produces 2 liters of condensation from their breath in one night! Add to that other elements that put moisture into the air – boiling water, heating with propane, drying your clothing, etc. – and you create a wet interior. Properly treated cotton allows this moisture to escape through the tent, keeping you warm and dry. WHY SUNFORGER ® TREATED COTTON? Breathability, Longevity! The type of treatment used to make your tent resist the effects of ultra-violet (UV) light from the sun, repel water and mildew, or retard the spread of fire is a critical factor not only for its impact on breathability, but also on how long your tent will hold up. If you tore a single piece of untreated canvas in half and then applied Sunforger ® to one-half and a different treatment to the other, the Sunforger ® treated half would perform best in terms of strength, ability to breathe, overall integrity, and longevity. Some would have you believe that all treatments are equal or a matter of brand preference (like Coke ® or Pepsi ®): this is simply not true. Inferior treatments impede breathability and cause more rapid deterioration of the canvas when exposed to the elements, making the tent both less comfortable and reducing its usable life. For these reasons, we pay extra for the Sunforger ® treatment! We have been approached by many importers and, while we briefly considered offering an “economy line” of foreign produced (and, therefore, not Sunforger ® treated) tents, we have not yet found one that we felt comfortable putting our reputation on the line for.
