Very cool!  What will you use for a floor?

Never have used a floor, every cot has a 5x7 piece of plastic under them with a 4x2 piece of carpet in front of them, this way the plastic is a vapor barrier and the carpet is nice to put your feet on before and after bedtime, no need for any more than that.

While you have your tent set up. Hose it down and drench it.  Let it dry.  It will help it tighten up.  It needs to be done!!!! Then when its all done and dry.  Use as much Thompsons water seal on it as you can. Use a sprayer and spray it on. Not kidding. Works awsome.  Let it dry and your good to go for a very long time.  Just a heads up.

Thanks for the tip, but we have always used Canvak when our tents need to be treated, this tent is already Sunforger treated, so it better not need me to do it for awhile, and I have a fly for it that I will use most of the time.

Make sure you soak it pretty good with water before you use it.  The seams will leak where the needle and thread went through the canvas.  Once you soak it good and it dries out, they will seal up.  I learned the hard way at hunting camp the first year.  Never had a problem since.   :twocents:

Love my Davis tent.
