Canvas InformationEight years ago, I started this page as a service to our valued customers and it's proven to be one of our most visited (and plagiarized! ) pages. At that time, if your tent was made of "double fill" canvas, it meant quality. However, with the recent influx of imported canvas and foreign-made tents, this alone is not enough anymore. Inferior materials are now being labeled double fill in an attempt to pass them off as the same quality as ours. They are not. So, before you spend $400- $1000 on a tent, you need to know how to determine the difference between high and low quality canvas. A good idea when comparing manufacturers is to request a swatch (sample) of the fabric. Some vendors will not be able to do this as they only sell, but do not manufacture, the tents. our high quality canvas, a low quality fabric. The first thing to note is the number of brown spots. These comes from the quality of the cotton used in the manufacture of the material. First run fabric is made from the center part of the cotton bulb and contains the purest cotton. Once that portion of cotton is harvested, the dregs are used to make the second rate material on the right. This includes more pieces of the outer husk of the cotton flower which show up as spots in the finished product. This creates a fabric termed "tarp grade" which has less strength and is more prone to leakage and mildew. So doing a visual inspection is your first-but not only-step in determining a quality canvas. Because of different issues, some inferior materials can look like top quality ones to the naked eye. There is a process of "combing" cotton in which the raw fibers are sorted by length. The long strands are the most desirable and are spun into individual threads, two of which are twisted together to form plied yarns we refer to as "double fill. "But all double fills are not created equal! While top quality canvas is made up of long fibers spun into yarn, inferior quality canvas is made up of short fibers spun together. While not visible to the naked eye, the difference is measured by two processes: tear strength tests and burst. The industry measures canvas strength with high tech equipment, assessing how much stress a fabric can endure before it fails. Tests are done in both directions of the weave (weft and warp) as well as of the product as a whole (Called a burst test--in which a ball is pushed through the fabric to determine at what point the fabric bursts, or a occurs) . Our canvas (long fiber, double fill cotton) has about double the tear and burst strength as a short fiber (usually imported) product. Buzz words in the industry are 10 ounce, 12 ounce, 14. 90, numbered duck, single fill, double fill, army duck, bull denim, twill, shelter duck, untreated, both wet and dry finishes of canvas, water and mildew treated, water mildew and fire treated, sunforger, boatshrunk, marine grade. . . It can all be overwhelming! And that's just for canvas! Then there are other materials like: realite, polaris, gala, nylon. . . all the synthetic fabrics that DO NOT BREATHE! That's the reason we don't use them for our tents. I read somewhere recently that with cool, dry conditions the humanbody will produce 1 / 2 a liter of condensation from their breath in one night! Add this to three buddies and you have 2 liters of moisture dripping from the roof of your tent because the moisture cannot escape from those fabrics. Having said that, let me share your will.
