Tents come in a wide variety of styles and sizes. Depending on the type of camping, there are a large number of options. For people who are looking for a larger and easy to set up tent, the canvas tent is ideal. These are great for people who are camping in one area for an extended period of time, people who are car or truck camping, or for people who have a large number in their group that need to sleep in the tent.

Canvas tents are very simple in design. They are also quite easy to set up. The tents will usually have a basic box design and a pitched roof. There are several poles that shape the structure of the tent and generally a center pole that keeps the roof up. Most of these tents will not have a floor to them and they generally do not have an additional rain fly or cover.

Care and maintenance on canvas camp tents is relatively easy. The material should be cleaned after each use and dirt and debris should not be left on for an extended periods of time. The canvas itself should be treated with a waterproofing spray before every camping season. The canvas material is naturally water repellent, but the use of this spray aids in the repellency. Also, it is advisable to make sure that all seams and areas that have grommets are not damaged or tearing. Whenever a tear appears, it should be fixed right away to avoid larger tears and more substantial damage. Finally, the tent should be stored only when it is completely dry and should be put in an area that is free from light and damp conditions.

Canvas tents are great for large groups and extended camping trips and with some general care and maintenance they are sure to last for many years to come.
