Remove Moisture Before Storing
You should always remove moisture from your tent prior to storing the tent after your usage. This is because moisture will inevitably gather on your tent in the form of snow, rain, morning dew and natural condensation. Spread out the tent in an indoor garage or shed until the canvas and sod cloth is completely dry. This usually takes approximately 48-72 hours. Setting up ladders or other elevated items in the area and spreading the tent out over the top can sometimes expedite the drying process. Once the canvas is completely dry you can now roll the tent and store it away until your next trip. Storing a wet or damp tent, despite being treated for mold or mildew resistance, can still develop mold.
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 that 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 tore a single piece of untreated canvas in half and then applied Sunforger ® to one-half and a 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.

Went hunting in Nevada at the end of October, and this wall tent saved us! It was freezing cold and we had some weather. Best purchase I have ever made!

I have had this tent and rain
fly since 2014. I got a angle kit and Davis sent me the measurements to cut the 1″ conduit.
I Use it 4 or 5 times a year. It’s hands down the best camping investment I have ever made. It’s currently set up (September rain/ hail) and has been for the last month for archery season. I am going to be using it in a different location for rifle. It’s going to do another October in the woods for more snow. Other than being dirty from use and packing is held up exceptionally well. No rips, tares or zipper
problems. I have stopped by the shop in Denver a few times over the years and these guys are the best. You can’t go wrong with anything David makes.

We purchased the 12 x 14 for a Nevada Bull Hunt. The tent is fantastic, watch one quick video on the set up and never had to pick up the instructions. Set up is totally intuitive, no one reading confusing directions and getting frustrated. We had bought every “wall tent” like structure at Cabelas and they were all a pain to assemble and a high priced cheaply made alternative – returned every one before we settled on the Davis tent. Did a hunt package which is great to get everything you need. Once assembled you can see how well made, sturdy, comfortable and beautiful it is. We color coded the legs to make it easy to tell them apart. We couldn’t be happier. Take down is a breeze and all the bags they come with are generous and fit everything. My ONLY suggestion would be sewing some grab handles on the large canvas bag the tent goes in, you have to just grab the edges to carry it and it is heavy:) Thanks Davis Tent!

I have had two Davis tents, for about 20 years. They are an outstanding product. Very well built and durable (I am not gentle on things and I can’t break them). They preform well in all kinds of weather. Best product, best price – bar-none.

I have waited a long time to write this review. I wanted to gain exceptional experiences before providing my thoughts, well let me be honest…Coronavirus has given me plenty of time to do this now haha. I have used this tent for roughly 14 years in some of the harshest conditions Montana can throw at it. It has endured time flawlessly over those years and this has been the singularly best hunting purchase that I have ever made. I use this tent for roughly 1 to 2 months out of the year and all of the damage was caused due to my own faults. The tent is still extremely functional and has served me well. I have no doubt that this tent can carry me another 15 years in the mountains of Montana. From deer hunts to antelope to elk and mountain goats this tent has been with me through it all. Davis Tent and Awning is doing it right! I spent months of research and asked so many questions to the Davis boys before I was satisfied enough to drop my coin on their name….best decision ever.

I bought one of these tent’s in 1998 at a hunting show in Salt Lake City. I used it for 20 years, every year some times twice in a year. We would normally camp at 10K feet for a week, used a wood stove for heat. This was the best purchase I ever made in 35 years of hunting. Tent durability was awesome. Sold it to a friend in 2017, biggest mistake I’ve ever made as an adult. Wish I had it back. Many years we were Elk hunting in 1-2 feet of snow, sleep like a baby. Playing cards in a T-shirt. Great memories, we called her the “Taj Mahal” Now I’m on this site looking to buy another one. If they are of the same quality as 1998 tent’s. BUY IT !!!!

I have had my 14×16 and my 16×20 Davis tents for over 20+ years. I am extremely pleased with the purchases (bought two stoves as well) and none show any wear even though I use them for most years over multiple elk/deer seasons. One year my son and I were snowed in with my 14×16 tent for 5 days. Opening day we got 4 feet of snow overnight and spent 4 days digging out! In 2016 the tents took the record wind beating near Fraser. Only issue was I misjudged how tall a tree was by one foot and the wind blew over the tree and hit my fly cover over the tent. Fly cover tore but not the tent. Davis tent repaired my 20+ year old fly cover. Over the years many hunters have commented on the tents and my camp set up. I would absolutely, with no reservations, recommend Davis Tent and Awning Tents!!!! Great People.

Bought the Davis 10×12 wall tent last year and absolutely love it. We have used this tent numerous times throughout this last year. Much cooler than a nylon tent during the summer and toasty warm with the stove going during the winter. Heat, wind, rain, snow, no leaks, no condensation, and not one problem. Best tent we have ever owned.

I bought this tent in 2014. It has been to Colorado several times since then and I can’t brag on it enough.
Davis tent was easy to deal with and friendly I plan on buying another tent soon and it will come from Davis tent.

After much research and calling wall tent makers around the north west I found that Davis Tent and awning was the most friendly and the most willing to work with me to find what would best suite my needs. Their knowledge of wall tents is second to none. After much discussion I ordered a 14×16 wall tent / stove combination, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Fantastic products and great customer service what more could you ask for.

I spent over a year researching wall tents from different manufactures and finally decided on Davis. This was a great choice. My family has used various wall tents over the years including Montana Canvas, another great manufacture, however you can not beat the price and quality that Davis tent offers. The build quality is fa-nominal and if taken care of properly will last a life time.

I have had my 14×16 for many years and it has served me well in the Summer with the Boy Scouts and in the Winter while hunting for Colorado Elk. I recommend Davis Tent to all my friends!
