azbackwoods Report post Posted August 19, 2014 They are great tents. I have 2 a 14 x 16 and a 16 x 20. You need to set them up and spray them with water so the needle holes on all of the seams will swell and reseal them selves. Other wise they will leak at the seam the first time it rains. I did not get the internal frame style. If you have any questions feel free to pm me. Bobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues79 Report post Posted August 19, 2014 I've owned one.... Had to sell it. It was hard to see it go. Anyways, it was a great tent. Get double doors and a window or two if you will be in warm weather. Also consider buying the joints from them and making the frame on your own. Save money in shipping costs. I loved my 12x14!

Heat Report post Posted August 20, 2014 I read every review on every canvas wall tent I could find on the internet. I researched for probably ten years before I finally pulled the trigger and bought a tent. I rented one before I bought so that I knew for sure what I was getting into. Finally bought one this spring on a Scratch and Dent sale that Davis had. Excellent customer service for sure. Great price on the best product in the market AFAIC. I bought the 12x14 water and mildew treated tent, which will sleep 3 on cots with a stove and a big table in the tent no problem. Got a back window and a screen on the front door with the traditional poles set up. Good Luck and let me know if you have any questions. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
border hunter Report post Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks for the all the good input. One more question on the height. Im 6`3 and im thinking of upgrading to 6` walls... would it be worth it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted September 2, 2014 IMO no, you're not going to be walking around on the edges of the tent. Most likely that is where your cots, tables etc are going to be. The center ridge line is like 8.5 feet on these tents so they have plenty of room through the middle. Go for it! Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

borntohunt Report post Posted November 1, 2014 Just bought one setting it up today. Making sure every thing is a ok. Bought it used. Guy use it 2 times. Like brand new. Called the guys at Davis tent they gave me a cut list after I measured the tent. The guy I bought it left his poles when he moved. Got a 12 x 14 with angles front and back door, wmf treated. $400.00 bucks. Poles cost me a 130.00 best deal I got in a long time. Have heard nothing but good about these tents.
