Canvas Types
Canvas comes in different weaves, weights, and treatments. It is important to understand the different canvas specifications because each will determine how well your tent will meet your needs....
The Magnum Wall Tent is the toughest, most durable wall tent available on the market today. Every tent manufacturer claims to have the best canvas tents, so we put our canvas to the test. We hired an independent lab to compare the strength of our 12oz Magnum canvas to the 10.10oz canvas used by other tent manufacturers. The lab tested the breaking strength using the ASTM D 5034 Grab Method, which tests the strength in 2 directions (called warp and fill). Independent, objective lab results don't lie:
|
12oz Magnum |
10.10oz Sunforger |
10.10oz Imported |
|
| Warp Strength |
389 lbs | 216 lbs | 202 lbs |
| Fill Strength |
241 lbs | 153 lbs | 140 lbs |
The Bottom Line: Our 12oz double-fill Magnum canvas is 68% stronger than the 10.10oz Sunforger used by most manufacturers.
The 12oz Magnum double-fill canvas is by far your best choice when it comes to choosing a canvas wall tent. In addition to its durability, Magnum Wall Tents come standard with just about every feature you could want in a canvas wall tent. If you're looking for a tent that will last you a lifetime, then look no further.

Every year we get a few calls from unhappy campers who have ruined their wall tents. They put them away the season prior, only to unroll them and find that the tent is stained with black mildew, or worse yet that the tent is completely rotten. "I thought my tent was supposed to be mildew proof" is the comment we frequently receive.....
