I’ve had my Deluxe wall tent for close to 15 years. A great product and exceptional service

I bought a canvas tent shop 16x20 and it is great. Way better tent than a deluxe.

Default wall tent

what ever size you buy get 5' side walls, that gives you alot more usable space.

Alliance Mfg. In Edmonton.
Justin just built my 14x16. Excellent workmanship, design, and attention to detail. Price was phenomenal too.

Montana Canvas is good stuff but they are proud of their product as reflected in their price!

Default Deluxe

We've had a 14x16 with 8 foot porch for years now. Full frame too.
Full zippered door on porch, and front and back of the main tent.

It's been great, but we've learned over time how important it is to treat it well. Especially drying it out once it gets home. Quite the task with a tent this big, but we've figured out a system in a garage. Had a few rips, which we get repaired professionally immediately.

Often debate a diesel heater vs woodstove, but yet to pull the trigger on that.

Canvas tent shop.
I have the Selkirk spike tent and it sets up in half the time of a traditional wall tent with a frame.
The sewn in waterproof floor is also very nice.

I've been looking for an old style tent that your erect with a ridge pole.
I don't want to pack aluminum poles on a horse. Don't need a floor.

Is somebody making this style? Dave Manzer who used to pack into Willmore built some pretty good lightweight tents. He used a heavy plastic.

Deluxe tents can work with or without a frame.

Hey there I havnt been on here in long time but will ring in with my 2 cents.

Deluxe wall Tents is what we use. Sizes vary based on use. That company in my experience is more than helpful in determining what will work for you. Reach out to them and chat.

I opted for a larger size than anticipated, as I like the space and even bring my atv in the back door when things get chilly. Don't forget room for table and chairs. Enjoy the room.

The internal frame, stove, porch and side wall stove pipe hole should be options to consider. I can set up a 14x16 with porch myself (a ladder helps). Doesn't take long and packs up great every time in the large bags provided.
