Army Style Canvas Tent

Try a tentmaker like Southern Cross Canvas. Probably cost a fortune to get made though with the cost of good canvas.

They are sometimes called Marquee tents, so try searching on trading post and Ebay... he may get lucky

Aussie Disposals sells them.

Batman,

If he manages to get a genuine "Army" tent, the heavy duty dark khaki/green one, what is he going to transport it in?

They are as heavy as......... and definitely not easy to erect especially if the guys (people type) have been "catching fish" from the time they started out.

Mind you, once they are up and all guy ropes are tensioned up properly, the only two things that will shift them are 'Force 10 gales and "Fishermen"knocking the middle pole down in the middle of the night when going outside for a "P".

Despite all my -ve comments, get out there and enjoy the time together.

Disco.

Yeah great old tents, seperate floor and east acess for bugs snakes and mozzies,,,not forgetting the wind blowing on you back all night... yeah!! the good old days! I think not,, Michael

Thanks for all the comments.

Canvas people can make anything you want. Ex Army, Marquee and about 35 other different types of tent.

yes we make Auto tents (also known as Marqee's) and they are still popular with groups and organisations for meeting areas of their camps.as other types of tents do not have the space.

I have made all types of tents and camper canvasses both in volume production or single orders over the last 40 years and am willing to either, provide advise, which is free, or provide the article. just let me know and I will supply contact getails.
