Cook Shack Tents
Our team at Davis Tent® pioneered the 4-sided cook shack. This innovation allows the cook shack to be used as a stand alone tent or linked directly to your main tent. Our modular design allows you to configure your tents for any type of trip or group size.
Today’s Made in America is not only premium in quality—it’s also competitively priced with overseas products. Supporting American-made doesn’t mean sacrificing value, it means getting the best of both worlds: high standards and fair prices.
Top Quality at Affordable Prices

WHY 100% COTTON?
Breathability! The reason breathability is so important is to minimize and eliminate condensation. Just 4 people in a tent produces 2-liters of condensation from their breath in one night! Add to those other elements that put moisture into the air – boiling water, heating with propane, drying your clothing, etc. – and you create a wet interior. Properly treated cotton allows this moisture to escape through the tent, keeping you warm and dry.
WHY SUNFORGER ® TREATED COTTON?
Breathability, Longevity!
The type of treatment used to make your tent resist the effects of ultra-violet (UV) light from the sun, repel water and mildew, or retard the spread of fire is a critical factor not only for its impact on breathability but also on how long your tent will hold up.
If you tear a single piece of untreated canvas in half and then applied Sunforger ® to one-half and different treatment to the other, the Sunforger ® treated half would perform best in terms of strength, ability to breathe, overall integrity, and longevity.
Some would have you believe that all treatments are equal or a matter of brand preference (like Coke ® or Pepsi ®): this is simply not true. Inferior treatments impede breathability and cause more rapid deterioration of the canvas when exposed to the elements, making the tent both less comfortable and reducing its usable life. For these reasons, we pay extra for the Sunforger ® treatment!
We have been approached by many importers and, while we briefly considered offering an “economy line” of foreign-produced (and, therefore, not Sunforger ® treated) tents, we have not yet found one that we felt comfortable putting our reputation on the line for.
