FAQs
The answer is sidewall! In order to keep all of our wall at a standard 10’ width the radiused corners (round ends) of the Tidewater require widths such as 32’, 44’ 51’ 57’ 66’ and 82’. The benefit to this is that any 10’ Tidewater Wall will fit anywhere on any size Tidewater Tent
Technically speaking Tidewater Tents have a wall rope that you can hang standard tent wall on. It won’t fit well or look very good, but you can do it. We make sidewall specifically for the Tidewater for the following reasons:
- Tidewater wall is only 10’ wide and is built with either buckles or an integrated bag so that the walls can be rolled up when they aren’t needed. You don’t want to try and roll-up 20’ or 30’ of sidewall (trust us!)
- Tidewater Tents do not have a valance. Because of this, the construction of the Tidewater wall is built to create a weather tight seal against the tent top.
- Tidewater sidewall incorporates web/and buckle pole straps to attach to your sidepoles. This reduces the amount your walls will blow around in the wind.
Yes, but probably not for the reasons you are thinking. Although the Tidewater is considerably lighter weight (approx. 30% lighter than a comparably sized blockout fabric tension tent) The fabric and reinforcements allow us to achieve a very strong tent (Engineering: ASCE 7-10 115mph-44.2mph Exposure “C”). The extra care required with the Tidewater has more to do with the high translucent properties of our Prosail III fabric. Stains on the tent top, either inside or outside, will silhouette against the sun and show more readily than a blockout viny tent. Keeping the tent clean and drying it before storing are vital to keeping the Tidewater looking great. The tradeoff is well worth it though. The same translucency that allows stains to be seen is also arguably the tents most important feature – High light transmission. Once you have been under a Tidewater Tent you will know exactly what we are talking about.
Frame Tents
Frame Tents feature a skeleton of aluminum framework and steel connectors to support the tent top. Although this style of tent is "free-standing" by design, it still must be anchored to resist wind forces. All styles of frame tents have no poles that come to the ground in the interior space of the tent.
Frame Tents
Pole Tents
Pole tents rely on tension in the membrane to hold the shape of the tent system. These tents are supported by single or multiple centerpoles in the middle of the tent area and a series of sidepoles around the perimeter of the tent area. The tent is tensioned toward the anchoring locations commonly with a rope or ratchet strap.
