Polycotton Canvas:
Cotton Canvas
The tents are water resistant. They have been treated with a water-repellent treatment. We normally say that they are as ‘waterproof as a wax cotton jacket’ - that is to say, if it rains everyone will be dry underneath it as long as the tent is properly tensioned and the rain can run off. However, if it pours with rain for some time, then water may collect in the corners of the roof, and if allowed to sit it will begin seep through. The solution is to knock out any puddles that form in the corners of the roof from the underneath. Waterproofing improves after a bit of use, during which time the warp and the weft of the canvas expands and tightens. Waterproofing can also be improved by applying waterproofing treatments such as Fabsil to the seams and stitch lines of the tent.
While we only keep the yellow patterned liners in stock, different linings can be made to order.
The tents are not fireproof but the liners are treated with a fire resistant treatment. We advise that everyone is extremely careful with cigarettes, matches, barbeques, candles, lanterns etc. Don’t leave a naked flame unattended and ensure that the tent can be exited easily.
The payment method is by on line transaction, cheque or bank transfer. There is no VAT to be paid. Tents can only be dispatched after payment has been made.
Tents are delivered via private courier. For your convenience we will need details of a covered place for them to leave the tent such as a garage, shed or stable which we will pass on to them.
Once payment is received, we will usually be able to despatch it to you within a week.
The majority of our customers use their tents for specific events and then put them away dry. Other customers put up their tents from May to September, in this instance and depending on weather, a tent might last for three to four summers. The look of the tent will deteriorate over time and use. We have customers who are still using tents that are 15 - 20 years old
The tent comes in 5 bundles. There is a “roof” bundle, two “wall” bundles and a bundles for the poles and pegs and mallet”. The bundles are large and heavy. For the largest tent (26 x 14ft) the roof is about 6’ long and about 18” across, the walls are 6’ long and about 2’ across, and the poles etc are about 5’ long and about 12” across.
When new the linings can stick to the outer canvas. The best solution is to wash them with hot water using a soft brush (car cleaning brush) or cloth and then just pull them off the outer canvas.
For the first time allow 1 and a half hours with at least three people. After that, once you know what you’re doing and with practice it can take about 50 minutes. The tents are designed with the yellow lining material already attached to the roof and wall panels which greatly simplifies how the tent is put up.
We recommend at least 4’ all the way round, the further out the better. Some people have fixed guy ropes to walls, but for this we recommend professional advice be taken.
The tents are 9’4'' high, and 6’ at the top of the walls where the roof comes down to meet them. A tall person may have to duck underneath doors but there is plenty of room inside. If a long wall is removed the replacement poles are higher at 6'10''.
The tents must be completely dry before being stored or mildew can develop. They should be stored in a dry and mouse/moth free environment.
