Does your tent perform exactly the way you would like it to? Do you need more ventilation? Another door? Maybe a moon roof or another window? How about the floor? Does it need replacement? If you aren interested in having an old fly duplicated, please see the FAQ. Note all prices are pre 2000.


This tent needed a solid fabric zipper door added for extra warmth as the original door was just screen

When the new door is rolled down, there is still great ventilation.($90)

 

This is one of two "eyebrow" vestibules that I created for a North Face Oval Intention. Rain and snow melt would collect around the snow tunnel doors, getting into the tent. These stake out mini vestibules, that divert precipitation around the snow doors. They are stabilized with flexible plastic tubing good to -40 that is removable for packing. Price: $75 each

This Kelty tent fly was modified so that the sides could be staked out for ventilation, or fastened closed (not pictured) for rain protection.

This is a Sierra Designs Orion CD, with the original fly completely duplicated in 1.1 oz. Silicon Impregnated nylon (silnylon) for serious weight reduction on the total tent weight. $450

This tent need ventilation added to the door. A mesh window was added, plus a zipper that followed the door shape.The window could can be left open...($145)

...or zipped closed.

 

 

This tarp was made for the Saint George's School outdoor experiential program. They are made of "stormproof" ripstop, with numerous tie-downs, reflective tape patches, sod panels, and shock-corded entry. Dimensions: 146" X 132". $140.00 ea. (photos courtesy Mike Poutiatine)
