Find the right tent
for your use.
We only make tents in two fabrics.
Both breathable. Both built to last. Both carry our lifetime warranty. Different tools for different missions.
Cotton Duck Canvas
The material that built this company's reputation across 135 years. When cotton duck gets wet, the fibers swell and the weave tightens — it becomes more waterproof. It breathes naturally, regulates temperature, and repairs with a needle and thread in the field.
Solution-Dyed Polyester
Originally engineered for armed forces and marine applications. Lighter than canvas and stronger. Welded and taped seams eliminate needle holes entirely. Trusted by NOAA for extreme-weather deployments. 100% recyclable, no PVC, no coatings.
The same craft.
135 years later.
Colorado Tent Company has been making canvas tents in Denver since 1890. When most of the industry moved to synthetic, we stayed with cotton duck — because it breathes, ages beautifully, and lasts long enough to outlive the person who bought it.
"The Largest Duck Goods House in the West" — our 1907 tagline. We're still earning it.
Recognized for craftsmanship — not marketing.
We didn't pitch any of these. They found us because of 135 years of doing things right.

Need more than
one tent?
From glamping operators outfitting 40 sites to corporate clients needing branded canvas at scale — we build to spec, on deadline, with a dedicated account manager from first call to final delivery.
Buy once.
Use for decades.
There are cheaper tents. There are lighter tents. There are none that will still be in the field 20 years from now. That's the Colorado Tent difference.
