VINYL RAIN FLY & AWNING

If you look through our photo’s most of our Glamping tents have a vinyl fly (the tan tarp up over the top of the tent)  the main purpose for this is UV protection.  A cotton tent is a great environment to be in due to its ability to breathe.  However cotton does not do real well with constant exposure to the sun, the sun’s UV is most harmful to the tent top.  So the biggest advantage is UV protection, they are also another barrier in the rain, will help keep the tent cooler on hot days, and warmer on cool nights. These “rain fly’s” are made from a heavy vinyl coated nylon and are better suited to handle year round use when set up properly

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.
