WALL TENTS AND A FRAMES

SOD CLOTHES

  Sod clothes are a 12 inch strip canvas sewn to the inside of each wall of the tent at the bottom. When a ground cloth is used in conjunction with a sod cloth the two overlap and forms a tight seal to keep out wind, weather, and bugs. If you buy a setup kit with your tent it does not include the sod cloth! The sod cloth must be sewn on when the tent is made. Be sure to order the sod cloth when you order your tent. It can not be added later.

LARGE WALL TENT



12 Ft. Long, 10 Ft. Wide, 4 Ft. Walls,
7 Ft. 4 Inches at the Peak.


  The photo above is of our Large Wall Tent with a 12 X 12 Fly in front. The fly is held in position using a "free standing" 8 pole with ridge set up. Flys are listed on page 32.
  This wall tent is large enough for an entire family or for several grown men to occupy comfortably for days. It's great for your Company H.Q., Refugee's or a long weekend at the lake.
This design works great for Rev. War, Mountain man, or Civil War. SCA would consider this a Roman style tent.   If you compare our tents to other manufacturers you will notice that the peak and the side walls of the Blockade Runner tents are several inches taller. Although a few inches may not sound like a lot, it makes a big difference in the amount of useable space.
(You know, the area before you have to stoop over to get around!)
  Here are the spec's. 7 ft. 4 inches tall at the peak. It's 10 ft wide at the bottom. The tent is 12 ft. long and the side walls are 4 ft tall. This tent comes with front and rear door openings (unless you request otherwise). The doors overlap 6 inches inside and out and has a total of 8 ties per door to stop the wind from whistling through! All of our tents are made from 10.38 ounce sunforger (T.M.) canvas, water repellant, mildew resistant, and fire retardant to meet California state specifications. (the toughest Reg.s out there).   The side walls have grommets and loops at the top so it can be set up with or without side wall poles. We triple reenforced the peaks where you need it most!

ALL OF OUR TENTS COME WITH EASY TO FOLLOW SET UP INSTRUCTIONS AND A DETAILED LIST OF SUPPLIES YOU'LL NEED SO THERE IS NO GUESS WORK!

FLY (OVER TENT) SET UP



  Add years to the life of any tent and make your camping so much more comfortable with this simple set up kit. Put a fly (not included) over your current tent and reduce the amount of UV rays coming into contact with your tent. This is good for the tent and very good for you in the hot weather, it will drop the temperature inside your tent dramatically. It also keeps stains (bird poop, oak sap etc.) from accumulating on top of your tent.
  No ridge pole required as your tent's ridge takes care of that. This set up includes 10, five foot long 2x2s with 3/8 inch iron pins, 10 long ropes with length adjusters and 10 stakes. Assembles in minutes but gives you and your tent a lifetime of protection against the sun's rays and heat. Maybe your tent is getting a little old, has a few leaks? This will solve that problem.
  Ships in one box!

See our Youtube channel for instructions on how to set this up.

CHATTANOOGA REBEL REPORTS!

April 25, 1863
  The Tullahoma correspondent of the Chattanooga Rebel says, from present indications the campaign in Middle Tennessee will open in earnest. In pursuance of a recent order of Bragg all tents and extra baggage are sent to the rear, only three flies being reserved to every hundred men.


LARGE WALL TENT

  Todd Watts just returned from a bear hunting trip where he used his large wall as base camp for the entire week. Todd says, "Just thought you would like to see much room we had using your tent for a modern hunt. Two and sometime three of us used the tent and never felt crowded, thanks".

Thanks for the photo Todd. (To Todd's regret - No bears were injured during the making of this photo)


A RECENT LETTER FROM A HAPPY CAMPER

  Last January I purchased one of your large wall tents. The overall experience of dealing with your company was great! We enjoy the ease of set up. I camp with 2 kids and it's really great to be able to put our camp up in short order. The kids have it down to a science. What a delight to see them enjoying something other than TV or video games.
We love the tent and look forward to doing more business with your company in the future.
P.S.
  Your prices are great. I checked around for 2 years before I purchased. I did not see anything that came close to your prices and several much more costly tents had considerably less quality--and I do mean it! Thanks again for such a great product.

STANDARD WALL TENT

12 Ft. Long, 10 Ft. Wide, 3 Ft. Walls,
6 Ft. 4 Inches at the Peak.

  OUR STANDARD WALL TENT comes with all of the features of the large wall except it has one door standard. You can choose a 2 door model at the bottom of this paragraph if you like. Here are the spec's. 6 ft. 4 inches tall at the peak. 10ft wide at the bottom. The tent is 12 ft. long with side walls 3 ft. tall. Our standard model has one door. The door overlaps 6 inches. Ties inside and out with 8 ties total. This keeps the wind (but not your friends) from blowing through.   This tent gives you lots of room, it's just a little smaller than our large model. Why 6 ft. 4 inches at the peak and 36 inch tall side walls you ask? Well some of the others guys are selling tents that are only 6' tall at the peak with side walls that are only 30 inches tall. This leaves the average 5'8 person with only a very narrow strip down the middle of their tent that they can use without bending over. Gee Whiz! That's small!
We just thought you would enjoy the extra room.

BATTLE OF MURFREESBORO TENN.
DEC. 31, 1862

  Cpl. Hannaford, 6th Ohio, Grose's Brigade, Palmer's Division.

  We finally reached the field hospital of our division about 5 miles back from Murfreesboro. It was a motley collection of tents, hospital, Sibley, wall, bell, flies, anything indeed that could be found and made to afford shelter.


Great Wedge Tent

12 Ft. Long, 10 Ft. Wide, 7 Ft. 4 Inches at the Peak.


  Our great wedge tent is made using the same high quality material and superior workmanship as all of our Blockade Runner brand tents, it's just a whole lot bigger than your average A frame!

The great wedge measures 7 ft. tall at the peak. It's 10 ft. wide and 11 ft. 7 1/2 inches long. That gives you the same floor space as a wall tent with a lot fewer poles to carry, and it requires no ropes. It's a snap for 2 people to set up. 3 cots will fit into this tent with plenty of extra room for gear, table, chair etc.

  The photo left shows the Great Wedge with both doors folded back onto the top of the tent so you can see inside.

There is a wooden stool, a cooler, and a lantern
against the back wall of the tent for scale.
It's so BIG it's like looking into a cave!

  Here's what one recent customer had to say about her new Great Wedge Tent.

"First let me say, thank you. Our tent arrived today. My husband ordered it for me hoping that I and both of our daughters would fit in the tent. We have 3 wooden cots that are 6 ft. long, not only do they fit but their is room for a foot locker, a table, a lantern with plenty of room in the center left over to use while dressing.
OMG.!!! I love the tent, there is soooo much room in it. I am soooo glad that we went with Blockade Runner.
I will recommend this tent to other civilian re-enactors as well as military. This tent can easily be set up by two people.


Thanks again

Here are the spec's. 7 ft. tall at the peak, 8 ft. wide at the bottom, 9 ft. long. That's a lot of floor space for an A frame! One door standard. Overlaps 6" with ties inside and out.

STANDARD 9ft. A FRAME TENT

9 Ft. Long, 8 Ft. Wide, 6 Ft. 4 Inches at the Peak.

  This is the typical A frame/wedge tent that you see at all of the reenactments. (10 billion served so to speak) Two people and their gear will fit in this tent with no problem. But don't invite any company over! The reason this tent is so popular among reenactors is it gives you the most room with the least amount of weight. It's easy to pack in and it can be set up by one person. You just have to walk from end to end a couple of times. Here are the spec's. 6 ft 4 inches tall at the peak. 8 ft wide at the bottom. 9 ft long. One door standard. Door overlaps 6 inches. Ties inside and out. Triple reenforced peaks as in all of our tents.
All tents sewn with double needle and heavy cotton wrapped poly thread!

LARGE 6 FT. A FRAME TENT

6 Ft. Long, 8 Ft. Wide, 6 Ft. 4 Inches at the Peak.

  I wouldn't want to share this tent with a stranger. If you carry a lot of stuff, this is a one man tent. One guy or gal and all their gear can fit in this tent with room to spare. Two people can if they don't carry 3 different uniforms or dresses each. You have enough room that even if it rains, it will take you a while to get cabin fever.
It's really easy to put up!
Here are the spec's. 6 ft. 4 inches tall at the peak. 8 ft. wide at the bottom.
6 ft. long. One door standard. Comes with all the features of our larger A frames.
