The 1890 Canvas Wall Tent

Flat-rate freight to the lower 48. 10x12, 10x15, 12x15: $100, or $200 with a full frame. 14x17, 16x20: $150, or $250 with a full frame.

The 1890 is the wall tent we built for our first hundred years: one door, one rear window, and nothing else. It is cut and sewn by hand in our Denver shop from the same Army Duck double-fill cotton canvas as the Colorado Tent. The difference in price is assembly time, not material.

There are no side windows, no sewn-in screen door, and no D-ring floor system. If you do not need them, you should not pay for them. The door frame carries a Velcro outline sewn in at the factory, so a screen door can be added later without altering the tent.

Every 1890 ships complete with couplers, ropes, and stakes, packed into two canvas bags so the kit stays together season to season. The stove jack is sewn in and ready for a wood stove. Order it as fabric only, or with an external pole kit, angles, or a full frame. Fabric only means the tent, couplers, ropes, stakes, and two bags, with no poles or frame.

Same canvas. Same shop. Fewer features, not lesser quality. Lifetime warranty, and we repair what we build.

Available in five sizes from 10x12 to 16x20, in Army Duck canvas or WeatherMax 80.

“It was super straightforward to set up and comfortably fit 3 people with a table set up as well. … I think you could get this in on horseback easily and the material was bomber.”
