Enter a canvas wall tent from Capital Canvas. I was able to get a hold of the guys at Capital Canvas in the spring, and a few weeks later I was in possession of a 10x12 canvas wall tent.  When you buy a canvas wall tent from Capital Canvas, you can purchase the canvas alone or with a fit to size aluminum frame. We went for the option with the aluminum frame.

Canvas Wall Tent

What really appealed to us about a canvas wall tent is the amount of space the tent offered and how easily it packed down. A 10x12 tent offers a lot of space!  We were able to fit two cots, a fold out dinner table, two chairs, and of course a small stove in our tent; at no time did it feel cramped. The headroom is great as well – I’m only 5’10 but there is at least 7’ of headroom down the centre of the tent.

The tent was very easy to take down and pack away. It takes about 10 minutes to set up and packs down to one medium and one small bag. Of course the polls need to be bungeed together, but they don’t take up much space in the back of the truck. We even took the tent out this past weekend with the wife’s car and it didn’t take up an unreasonable amount of space – we were still able to bring the coolers, cots and fishing gear with the seats folded down.

One thing the trip proved is that these tents are of good quality. We slept in it for 45 nights and set it up close to 20 times without a rip or leak. These tents are built to last. And best of all they are made in Canada!
