Has anybody used this on a canvas wall tent? If so could you give me some input on its durability AND if you had any issues? Thanks!!

We use it on all canvas applicatuons on our houseboat. Some are vertical surfaces and some are horizontal & everything in between. We reapply each spring.

I used it to coat our 10 x 12 Gazebo top and it works great. After spraying it on I let it sit for over 6 hours to dry. We got some rain and snow and the water and snow ran right off and did not penetrate through the top of our Gazebo!

I have only had the gazebo up and with the product on it for about a month now!

Yes I used it on a tent trailer and it worked great. The only thing I would suggest is you wear a good mask when applying ir.

I used this product on my gazebo canvas curtains and the nets......works well in repelling water and maintaining the color...,used a pump sprayer for application....still repels water after about 3 years.....completely saturated the material with the product and let it dry.....did it on a warm day with plenty of sun to dry the product....hope this helps.........

This product is wonderful. It works very well and waterproofs any canvas surface.

This is my second Coleman tent of this design, didn't seal the seams on either one and the only leaks Ive experienced were when i didn't zip or set up properly. Check your seams, mine looked like they were covered with some type of coating.

We have taken this tent camping a few times and absolutely love it! I have tried to pay attention to the size of campsites when reserving them, but so far it has not been an issue. On our last trip the small room that sticks out from the side (making the "L" shape in the tent) was on a bit of a down hill slope, but that did not affect the stability of the rest of the tent and didn't turn out to be a problem. So far we haven't encountered any problems, but the tent would be difficult to set up on a small space that is clearly marked out (e.g. with railroad ties or some other barriers).

Absolutely! We actually use ours as a camping tent, haha. We bought the wall kit that matches with it and have it up for two weeks at a time. We've hung things from the top bars, had social gatherings in it, had reckless children running into the posts, etc., etc..... Hope that helps!

Shirley, It's a very easy tent to put up. I'm 51 and the only issue I have had is when first opening the tent at an event I have a hard time locking the first pin into place. I think it is because it is a new canopy and just tight. I have had this tent now for about 10 shows and it is now becoming easier. If you are using at a show, there is always someone around that can help you lock in the first leg, after that it is very easy. Tear down is just as easy. It's a very nice canopy with a denser fabric. I just waterproofed my canopy last week and was thankful this past weekend during a rain storm as I didn't have any leaks around the seams. I would definitely recommend. Lorie, J Rowe Apparel

I have this tent and I have used it in the heat of a muggy FL summer. It does breath but not like having a non-canvas tent (I also have the Big House from Big Agnes). But if it's raining this tent is much more breathable than the other tents that have to have rain fly's on. it's really a trade off. I use this tent every single time I go camping if it's 90 degrees or 20 degrees. It's a great tent that is built like a tank and will last a lifetime. My advice... buy the tent and get a box fan to put in it during the summer.

Its got sum waterproofing on it ,you can tell bcuz wen i was camping w/this particular tent u could see the raindrops run off a lil bit ,but there is so much stitching in my opinion that there wasnt enuff coating of water proof .if i were u i would jus buy the canvas type teepees bcuz i actually been in one and it stays completely dry,but u hav2 hav a fire going for it to stay that way when it is raining .

Hi Mark, I have this same tent and agree that some of the fixture for HID lights are heavy and I try to stay away from them. However I do have one that I continue to use and have built a support that fits above the metal frame of the tent. I made it from 1 x 2 inch hardwood. Like oak, maple or birch. It has L brackets on the ends to prevent them from pulling off. Then I hang the light from them. The wood piece goes above the metal rods to help support them. I also purchased light weight mogul base fixtures for my lights with seperate ballasts that sit on the floor. Hope this helps as that was the only thing I was not crazy about with this tent.

I used it for a week straight, setting it up and taking it down every morning and evening. I had no problems with the tent floor, or the cot. Just double check the dimensions because the cot is quite large.

if u notice how shiny the outside of the tent is - its a polyurethane coating for shedding h2o & which goes along way helping keep out wind out & body heat in - its amazing what a simple army surplus candle - stove in a can ect. will due 2 keep u toasty all night - when it was real nasty i had a single mantle coleman lantern that would literally run me out of my other dome tents - WARNING VENTILATION IS A MUST WHEN BURNING THESE PRODUCTS- ive been camping since i was a kid with my family -

It did rain (heavy thunderstorms) the day of our grad party, and there were some small places of leakage. We did not use the sides. I also bought another pop up tent, like a 10 by 12 or something, and it had heavier canvas-like top, whereas this could be described at more tent material. Nylon I guess. I would think that if you sprayed it with a tent sealer, it might do a better job. I'm not sure if I would buy again, but it was easy to set up, and it did the job and can be reused.

I have no personal experience or information but I do know that Wenzel is a very good tent and very well made. I am sorry I couldn't help more. Jeff

I wouldn't use it for canvas. I believe there are specific waterproofing materials for canvas that you can get.

it's a canvas like material. Actually pretty resistant. HOWEVER... the bolt that goes into the middle bracket scrapes against the fabric as you are rolling/unrolling the awning and eventually caused a tear in mine. Aside from the difficulty in getting the bolt in there, it's not worth it, since it will eventually rip the fabric. I, personally, feel that the two bolts on the end are sufficient, since the bolts only hold the canopy in the brackets and don't actually support any weight (the brackets support the weight). Hope this helps!

Canvas would not fit down over post. I filed on the inside trying to enlarge it. It appeared to have been over crimped at manufacture.The grommet broke open and came out before it was large enough to fit over the mast. I got a pair of electrical reducing washersand glued them to both sides the canvas and put them on the mast and finished the assembly, Its working very well and I have noproblems with it. The material is a very good grade and my wife and I are very satisfied. Sure beat buying a new umbrella.Don't have measurements now as I would have to take it all apart and don't want to kick a sleeping dog in the butt.. Ken Wood Canvas would not fit down over post.

Best tent ever...Easiest to put up and take down..I'm a 48 yr old woman and lived and camped in one all summer by myself. I thought it would end up being a rinky dink thing because of its ease but its GREAT&gt; Perfect size. It did great in winds about 25...I did hook up the tie downs tho and staked them in good and tight..enjoy! (mine is orange tho?)
