Permanent Tents
are made with extra grommets around the bottom so they can be screwed to a
base rather than staked to the ground. If you intent to leave the tent on
the ground you must have level ground. Purchase 2 X 4's the length and
width of the tent and stake them to the ground. Now stand the frame legs
on the 2 X 4's. Do this also if you are building a deck. The deck should
be 3' larger on all sides. Permanent Tent packages are offered in
12.63 oz. canvas only, and come with a tent fly. The Fly extends over the
eves of the tent; its purpose is to shield the tent from harmful ultra
violet rays and pollutants such as pollen and sap from trees. The tent fly
has a Para-wing design and will give the tent more stability in the wind.
The fly will be made with either polyester or canvas. A Polyester
Fly is slicker and allows snow to slide off the tent better. Polyester is
also a more stabilized material in ultra sunny climates. Canvas looks
better and will let the tent breath more. In wet climates the canvas is
probably a better choice. I encourage stove location out the wall in the
front right side, but more centrally located is good too. The tent package
includes a sturdy internal Rafter Frame. The tent is equipped with, stove
jack, sod cloth, guy ropes, stakes, and bags. You must also choose between
Standard and Deluxe. Standard has two windows but it has a rear door.
Deluxe has three windows and no rear door. It also has a screen door with
a threshold and a floor that will seal off the outer elements really good.
