Tent Style?

[Rick Son]

What do you call those tents that you folks reinact with,the ones with the flap supported at front,is that a sutlers tent? Is there a place that makes small ones for my grand daughter of two,me and her have alot of fun in the house and outside and thought i would build her a little camp area out back.no real fire,i'd get one of those fans and cloth that looks like fire.I would do the real thing but i am somewhat disabled with a pretty bad leg and pins in my back and surgery soon to cure the leg i hope.Any info would be greatly apreciated..

The funny thing is trying to find a used wall tent. All these tents sold but no where to find used.
If you hear of one near Indiana have them pm me. 10'x10' min no outside poles

Oh well. I can hope.

Cheers, DonK

Hi Don
You might look at web sites for CW events or contact Fall Creek to see if they have a line on used tentage. There's no doubt that a large # of used wall and A's will start to show up for sale as re-enactors start to get out of the hobby. I'm starting to look for a 8X10X7 wall for my cook setup. See you at the trade fair.

no outside poles huh, don't think I've ever seen a historically accurate tent with wall poles on the inside, pretty much any HC tent(within reason) has the poles on the outside, not sure but think the poles inside is more a 20th century invention, course I could very well be wrong.Unless your speaking of a small marquee style

Chief, sorry to hear you are all stove up. It's nice that you're still thinking of your granddaughter under the circumstances. Let us know how the tent and the leg end up.
