Internal Frames
We offer two completely different pole systems for our tents – The Internal Frame – and the Traditional Poles
Internal Frames: The drawing to the right is what we call a “three column” frame (three legs/rafters on each side of the tent) larger tents require a 4 column, 5 column frame – or more as needed. Keep in mind we sell the internal frame two ways. Complete – meaning all the poles and all the angles. Or “Angles Only” which is just the angles (the black pieces in the photo) saves you a ton of money on the shipping!! We provide a cut list and you buy your own 1″ EMT locally (available at any hardware store) and cut it to the lengths we provided. Tent and “angles only” is very simple to do and the most common. The clear space footprint makes this system our most popular seller it provides a wide open space inside your tent. Having the frame inside also is useful when hanging items such as organizers, lanterns, clothes, towels, etc. If you’re in Denver, stop by our retail shop and see the 14X15 tent set up.
Traditional Pole System (shown in photo below): This system sets up quickly and can be done by one person. Poles are made from 1-3/8″ galvanized steel. Comes complete with ridge pole, uprights and wall poles all in a carrying bag and can be packed on horseback. It must be seen to fully appreciate how functional this system is. A video is available for those that can’t make it. It is quick and easy to setup – even an 8 year old girl can do it (Watch the Video).

Pole Bags
$25.00We recommend a bag for each length of pole in your internal frame system. The reason for this is that putting all the poles into 1 bag makes it too heavy to carry and the short poles slide around and “chew up” the pole bag. The three bag system keeps the poles in place and makes for easier carrying. Select the next length up from your pole's actual length. -
Wall Tent Angle Kit
From: $8.00Save some money by buying an “Angle Kit” (just the black pieces) when you buy your own 1″ EMT locally (available at any hardware store) and cut it to the lengths we provide on the cut sheet. Angle kits include a canvas drawstring bag and the proper number of rubber feet for the bottom of the legs. One piece couplers are now available to shorten the packed length of your frame pieces. Each coupler includes a screw, and you would need to order one coupler per piece of tubing you wish to shorten the packed length of. For instance, if you have 8 rafters that you would like to shorten the packed length of, you would order 8 one piece couplers. -
