We just launched a new website. It has been a long time coming.
The old site worked well enough when we built it, but it went up quickly and showed its age. Product pages were hard to navigate. The checkout process confused people. Mobile users had a rough time. We heard about it regularly.
So we rebuilt it. Same company, same products, same shop in Denver. Different platform, better tools, cleaner presentation.
What Changed
The structure is simpler. Wall tents, tipis, accessories, and custom work each have their own section. Product pages now show dimensions, materials, and lead times up front instead of buried in paragraphs. The internal frame options and pole sets are clearer. If you are looking for a specific tent size or accessory, you will find it faster.
Checkout is straightforward. Add what you need, review the order, pay. No unnecessary steps. The cart shows exactly what you are buying and when it ships.
Mobile works the way it should. Most people browse on their phones now, and the old site did not handle that well. This one does.
Customization requests have a dedicated form. If you need a non-standard size, extra stove jacks, custom door placement, or a build we do not list in the catalog, the form routes directly to the team. We have been building custom canvas structures since 1890. The new site makes it easier to start that conversation.
What Did Not Change
The products. We still cut and sew every tent by hand in our Denver shop. Army Duck double-fill cotton canvas, or WeatherMax 80 for commercial applications. Galvanized steel frames built to exact tent dimensions. Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Repair-forever policy for any Colorado Tent Company product, regardless of age.
The lead time is still 3 to 6 weeks from order placement. We build all tents to order. We do not keep finished inventory. During peak hunting season, lead times extend. If you have a deadline, contact us early.
The people. The same crew builds every tent. Our production supervisor has 30 years of experience. Our operations lead has three generations of tentmaking behind him. The sewing team stitches every tent that leaves the building. Same team, same shop, same work.
Why It Matters
A website is not the product. The product is what ships from Denver in a box with your name on it. But the website is how most people find us, how they figure out what they need, and how they place an order. If that process is unclear or frustrating, it does not matter how good the tent is.
We build products that last decades. The website should make it easy to order one.
What Comes Next
The blog is back and will stay active. We will write about canvas care, setup techniques, custom builds, repairs that come through the shop, and the work itself. No filler. No marketing theater. Just the details people ask about.
We expanded the FAQ section with answers to the questions we hear most often: lead times, setup instructions, fabric comparisons, customization options, warranty coverage, and repair policies. If you have a question that is not answered there, send it to sales@coloradotent.com and we will add it.
Product photography is better. We will continue improving it as we photograph new inventory and custom builds. The old photos were inconsistent. The new ones show the actual construction, materials, and details that matter when you are deciding whether a tent will work for your application.
One More Thing
If you ordered from us before and saved your account login from the old site, it will not work on the new one. The system changed. You will need to create a new account if you want order history and saved addresses. If that is an inconvenience, we apologize. It was unavoidable.
If you run into issues with the new site, broken links, missing information, or something that does not work the way it should, let us know. Email sales@coloradotent.com with details and we will fix it.
The website is a tool. The work is the same. Canvas cut in Denver, sewn by people who have been doing this for decades, shipped to hunters, outfitters, ranchers, scouts, and glamping operators who need gear that lasts.
That has not changed. The site just makes it easier to order.
