Canvas Tents

Welcome to the Canvas Tent Shop - Canada.

.

Canvas Tent Shop is a Canadian owned company which does business with Wall Tent Shop and Pack Saddle Shop in the States. Canvas Tent Shop "does not have a store, just a shipping warehouse."

Tents, stoves, tent frame angle kits, and ovens SHIP FROM CASTLEGAR, BC, where I have resided for 20+ years.

This is a very lengthy introduction to Canvas Tent Shop products and our unusual approach to selling camp gear, tents and stoves. But it might be worth your time.

Navigation arrows on the left will take you to specific products.

I you need a tent and a stove quickly a Wilderness tent and Wilderness stove /Yukon stove can ship the next business day.

Tipi, tepee, teepee - however you spell it - We have tipis, tepees and teepees in all sizes. Click "canvas tent" hot button to the left to view tipis.

Our goal at Canvas Tent Shop is to provide quality wall tents and camp stoves at very reasonable prices - Hopefully, our prices will be the lowest on the internet.

We will be glad to answer any questions you have.

I suggest you read our Tent & Stove Info Guide as it provides a lot of information on both tents and stoves. The guide is designed to help you make an informed decision on which tent and stove is best for you.

CLICK TO VIEW THE UNJUSTIFIABLY HIGH BROKERAGE FEES YOU ARE CHARGED EVERY TIME YOU BUY/IMPORT FROM THE STATES.

IF CANVAS TENT SHOP DOESN'T HAVE THE WALL TENTS OR CAMPING STOVES YOU NEED:

1 ) CLICK Wall Tent Shop USA to view a full selection of canvas tents as it carries 12 more canvas tent models, water/ mildew treated wall tents, spike tents, pyramid tents, wedge tents, steel and aluminum tent frames and 30 different wall tent stoves - different sizes/models that can be shipped to Canada.

2 ) CLICK Pack Saddle Shop USA if you need pack saddles, pack panniers, riding saddle panniers, scabbards, saddle bags and other pack equipment shipped to Canada.

If you want tents, aluminum frames , Riley Stoves, Riley Pellet Stoves, Riley Stove & Oven Combos, pack saddles or panniers from Wall Tent Shop or Pack Saddle Shop- order them and state you want them transported on the next shipment to BC.

Your shipping costs to Canada will be 50% of what is listed for shipping within the US to cover our costs. Your shipping brokerage fees are eliminated. Items to order in this manner do not include identical Canvas Tent Shop products. Also, prices on Pack Saddle Shop and Wall Tent Shop are in USD.

However, you might have to wait a month or two get on the next shipment to BC. Or, you might get lucky and and have your items on a shipment to BC leaving in a week or two.

If you want a custom "Montana Canvas Tent with options" we can arrange to have it made and then transport it during our normal shipments to BC. UPS/FEDEX brokerage fees will be eliminated and shipping to Canada will only be 50 % of what is listed for shipping within the US.

This would be an economical way to purchase a large custom tent, with an aluminum frame, that is so expensive in Canada.

It should be very obvious, You can buy a better quality or a larger canvas wall tent from the States, for considerably less money, from Canvas Tent Shop. " WE GUARANTEE IT ".

CHECK OUT OUR PRICES - YOU CAN ALSO " SAVE MONEY " BUYING OUR TENT STOVES.

COMPARE OUR " WILDERNESS TENT & PRICES". We load this tent up with many free standard features. We don't try to nickel and dime you with expensive options.

"THE WILDERNESS IS ONE TOUGH TENT" This is the tent that many outfitters buy 5 to 10 at a time. Unfortunately, we do not have many Wilderness Tents in stock in Canada or the US. But, Montana Canvas Outfitter tents will always be available.

The Wilderness Hunting Tent is an exceptional four season tent with a lot of extra reinforcement - double canvas layer on ridge - double layer of canvas on ridge ends - double layer of canvas on eave ends- thick webbing double stitched into both eaves - and" Most Importantly " - D Rings double stitched to the eave webbing.

D RINGS ON THE WILDERNESS WALL TENTS ARE MUCH STRONGER than any grommet pressed into canvas tent eaves. Almost all US & Canadian wall tent companies go the least expensive route ( meaning less strength/toughness) and press a metal grommet in a 10 oz piece of cotton canvas.

Montana Canvas Tent - Outfitter Tent - sizes available in Canada range from 10' x 12' to 18' x 23'. Montana Canvas Wall Tent material is available in 10 oz canvas, relite and blend - a combination of canvas and relite. Relite is a lightweight synthetic material available in Montana Tent models.

WE WILL " ALWAYS " HAVE THE LOWEST PRICES ON MONTANA CANVAS OUTFITTER TENTS IN CANADA. Let us know of a Montana Canvas Tent with a lower price in Canada. You will get 30% off on an angle kit when you purchase our Montana Canvas Outfitters Tent at the lowest price.

Angle kits are available to make your tent frame. Buy the tent angle joints and then make your frame from 1" electrical conduit available at all hardware stores. Viewangle kit instructions for detailed instructions. Making your frame with an angle kit will reduce your total tent frame cost, including shipping, $200- $300.

We have tried to save you some money (with this lengthy home page) on the cost of importing/buying canvas tents, tent stoves and pack equipment from the US. If you have read this far, hopefully, some of our ideas and recommendations got your attention and you will save a few loonies whether you buy from Canvas Tent Shop or someone else.

And if you checked our prices, you already know, Canvas Tent Shop has the most reasonable wall tent and tent stove prices in Canada.

We provide a significant amount of information in our info guides and packing tips to help you make an informed tent and stove purchase decision. And more than enough tent & stove knowledge to make you a worthy opponent when you are talking to a Cabelas , Bass Pro or some other tent sales person who has never slept one night in a tent.

You have probably already figured out this website was not written by a professional "web master". Just a Canadian and a US friend who have spent a day or two in a hunting tent.

TENT PURCHASE RECOMMENDATIONS

Canvas Tent Standard features

Determine the standard features canvas tents have that you are considering and the cost of additional features/options you want.
Most canvas tent buyers want at the minimum these standard features:

Front door with zipper
Stove jack
9" - 10" vinyl sod cloth to keep canvas tents clean and sealed against the ground
Rope with tensioners

It should be noted that all tent canvas used in US and Canadian manufactured canvas tents is imported from primarily Pakistan, India and lately China. Where the canvas is made is not a factor since tent canvas that is imported to the US must meet US canvas specifications, i.e. Army Duck, Boat shrunk, Marine Grade, 10.1 oz, 12 oz etc. Imported fire treated canvas must meet Federal and State fire treatment requirements.

Canvas Tent cost comparison:

If the canvas tents you are considering purchasing do not have the standard features listed above, you need to add the costs of those features to the price of the tent before you can make a valid tent comparison.
Some canvas tent manufacturers list common standard features as options to increase the price of the tent from an initial low advertising price.
Tent Purchase Recommendations:Zipper Door: I recommend a back door w/zipper or window for cross ventilation for hot weather. Being in a canvas tent w/out a back door or window is miserable during hot weather.
- SIZE OF TENT: If you can't decide between 2 sizes of tents , go far the larger tent. I have never heard anyone say they wished they had bought a smaller tent. When people complain about the size of the tent, the complaint is the tent is too small for their requirements.
- FLY: Fly is always recommended. Sometimes during rainy days, a canvas tent will leak where the canvas touches the frame. If this wicking/leaking occurs the only solution is to purchase a tent fly. The fly prevents prevents any rain or snow from touching the canvas so no wicking/leaking can occur. THE MAJOR BENEFITS of a fly is (1) that it prevents sparks from the stovepipe burning holes in your canvas roof (2) protects canvas from ultraviolet rays which deteriorates the canvas (3) keeps your tent roof clean from tree pitch (4) creates air space between the roof and fly which acts an insulation area which helps keep your tent warmer.
- Tent Bag: I strongly recommend a tent bag to keep your tent clean during hauling and storage.
- Options: If you are not sure about a option I would probably add it. It is much cheaper to add options while the tent is under construction compared to costs after you take delivery. (Been there done that!)
- Color of tent: I encourage you to purchase a tent that is white. White reflects lantern light much better than off white or colored tents.
- Cookshack. A cookshack costs almost as much as a tent of equal size. Sometimes it makes more sense to buy another tent to use as a cookshack and have the flexibility of using the smaller tent when less people go hunting or camping.
- Color of Fly. A clear translucent fly is best as it allows light to pass through it. If you use a dark fly during the day it will be much darker inside your tent.
- Reinforced eaves. The eaves have the most pressure on a tent due to tightening the roof by use of guy ropes and stakes. If a tent fails due to snow loads, the tent normally tears near the eaves and grommets. Insure whatever tent you buy has reinforced eaves. The Wilderness tent has the strongest eave support available with its webbing and D ring.
Cost of tent frame:
- Metal frames are very expensive to ship. You might want to purchase an angle kit and make your own frame from 1" electrical metal conduit. You can purchase conduit at local hardware stores.
- If you are horse or mule packing you can use ropes, lodge poles, trees near your tent to put up your tent.
- Purchasing metal frames vary tremendously between companies and has to be a major consideration where you purchase your canvas tent.
