Saddlesore, yes, that's what I was wondering, if it was the newer, and more expensive, high tech material. I am sure glad I didnt spring for that. My way of thinking is a wall tent needs to be made out of 10 oz canvas as it always has been.

Saddlesore, another thing I have heard on the high tech material is it does not hold heat like canvas does., certainly another consideration in choosing wall tents.

I have a smaller, 10 X 12 boy scout wall tent, that I used for about 20 years, and it never once callapsed from heavy snow. I did use a center pole during snowstorms with it.
Take Care.
