Itching to get out in my wall tent again. So thought I would get this thread fired up again.

Bought one of these to light my wood stove with. No more matches.

Does anyone have a good idea for a solid floor material.  I've thought about heavy rubber stall mats but that's a lot of weight.  I considered sheet covering pallets with 1/4 inch plywood but once again its not a easy haul.  I would like to come up with something to give me a couple of inches off the ground that I can cover with a outdoor rug.  Maybe solid insulation panels with some kind of a backing that makes them less prone to poking and holes.  Any ideas?

Mine came with a poly snap in floor.i bought a brown 12x10 tarp which I lay on ground. Than snap in floor over that. Keeps the poly floor cleaner when we break camp.

I always have some little coaster size squares in my tent gear. Made of wood or cardboard to put under cot feet. In case I am over some soft ground saves from punching a hole in the floor.

A little straw out side the entrance keeps the mud and dirt down. And provides a clean place to stand when taking that 2 am leak. :chuckle:

Where looking to buy a tent here soon and seen the frame kits are priced pretty high but also seen you can use 1 inch emt conduit  for frame,  just wondering if 1 inch would be big enough because it looked like in some of the pictures here the frame poles where bigger then that .

Pretty sure my frame is made from at least 1 1/4" and I think it is 1 1/2".  I don't think I would go with 1", that seems awfully small.

1" EMT is plenty strong enough. I have a davis 16x20 and I run the 1" EMT, I thought the same thing when I bought it that theres no way that 1" emt pipe would be strong enough, but its plenty strong.

Perfect thanks for the info,  I'll go with 1" . I think where going with a 16x14 tent from wall tent shop.com and they said they would send a cut sheet too make our own frame, so I thought that was nice on there part to at least give me the option.  Can't wait to get it and try it out this year.

Didn't read all the posts so if you add length to the ridge pole at the entrance cover it with a tarp you will have added covered space. A cooking area / storage
