Wall tent

Nice setup.... I've been looking around and check-in out as many as I can...I just need to have it before elk season

Our 12x18 Davis with a good view of the room inside

Looks like lots of room 

[huntnfmly]

And there is still room for another cot on the wall opposite of the stove where we stacked our firewood

Perfect that's about what I need...if I pick up a tent with a frame/angle kit I already have an angle kit for a 10x12 I can tarp in for extra room for kitchen/storage

anyone have a 12x18 they wanna sell?

The 12x14 davis I just bought is actually 12'x14' 7''. Perfect for 2 guys with some room in the middle for hanging out. I have 1 set of disco cots, I use for just me/ storage on the bottom, or for a third guy if needed. I only expect to have 2 guys 90% of the time. I ordered the angle kit with a fly kit.  I had a 10x12 and a 14x16 before that. If you know your gonna have 3 guys all the time, get the 14x16 show special from davis. Great deal, awesome tent and service. I've never had the fire teatment, I never have really ever tarped it, I like it to breath. Consider a back window and the storm door. I had a screen in my last tent. Did'nt use it much.

Whatever size you think will work go a couple feet bigger.  We ended up going 15x15 with stove pipe holes on opposite corners to ease setup.  We also have a 9x15 extension that we use as the vestibule/cooking area.  It has a door on it as well and if we need extra room when entertaining we can open the whole thing up and have a 15x24 tent.

Good luck and be sure to let us know what you went with and how it ended up working for your needs.

I have a 12 x 14 davis and love it. Very good quality at a reasonable price. Most of the time its just me, but probablly 20% of the time it's 2, very comfy with two people and their stuff. You could do 3, but it would be cozy

Anyone ever use a tent from elkmountaintents.com?

Anyone ever use a tent from elkmountaintents.com?

Never used one or seen any around, and they kinda lost me at Polyester!! 

[deerhunter_98520]

I just ran across their ad on Craigslist and never heard of them before

[ghosthunter]

Ummmm
I don't like it.
What's with the tensioners inside?
And the corners are Velcro?

Didn't notice those....probably a reason I haven't heard of them then

Defeats the purpose with the cable tensioners being connected to the center rafter, I'm sure it's to strengthen for snow load, but the cross cable is to long when connected in the center and will allow the side walls to push out as center of the rafter is pushed down from weight.

Two negatives about the windows. 1- I don't like the Velcro and 2- the window Velcro on the out side 
And the Velcro corners, the corner zippers were needed on the old Army GP tents with 12 individual poles for ease of setup, but you don't need the Velcro corners on a wall tent.

Treated vs untreated tents....is the extra $150-200 worth it for the water/mildew treatment?
