Default RE: wall tent recommendations, tips

Make sure you get 5' side walls. I made my own internal frame out of 1" electricial conduit---it's strong--I've had over a foot of snow on it. I have a pipe from the roof to the side wall every 4'. I also welded several hooks on the pipe to hang up jackets, wet clothes, etc. I have them off the center roofpipe. I would also put some on the roof rafters also. I also have a center post.

I have D-rings on the door----I would get a zipper next time. In a strong wind there is an air grap between the D-rings.

My tent is 12x14x5-----it's says it will sleep 5-----3 is more like it. I had 5 but it's crowded. Get the biggest one you can---more room the better.

Stove jack? Side wall or cieling. Mine is cieling & it works just fine.

Hope this helps. CB
