Civil War Wall Tent Details

I have a large wall tent from Fall Creek Suttlery. The quality is excellent, and the price was the best I found. I have 6 other friends who also have tents from them who have had great quality and service from them as well.

I use mine with a rain fly off of the front that I made, and camp in the tent itself. The space is plentiful and works well as a demonstration/merchant space...but they cannot be used in parking lots where you can't use spikes in the ground to hold it up easily.
One of my friends even ordered a custom made canvas tent from them, and I helped her make the poles and ropes with dog bone stays after it arrived. It is also an excellent tent and arrived quicker than any custom made tent I've heard of. Check out thier prices.

I am also familiar with Panther primitives, and Tentsmiths ( Tentsmiths - Historical Period Tents - Home ). Both make excellent tents.
