| Prospector tents are external frame
tents that are re-enforced at ridges, eaves and include grommets on the
outside of the peak and eaves. Interior stress and friction points are
lined with abrasion resistant cordura nylon. Available in natural or FR
convas. Natural canvas is very
breathable and not water repellant so it requires a fly over the roof. The
fabric is of a looser weave than the FR canvas and has a shrink factor of
up to 10%. A sod cloth is recommended with this type of fabric to help
keep the walls off of the floor or ground and prevent rapid mildewing.
Fire Retardant canvas is mould , mildew and fungi
resistant as well as flame retardant (CPAI-84). The water resistant
coating allows the fabric to breath. Shrinkage is within 2%. |
