Montana Canvas Wall tents

outtabreath · Sep 20, 2005

Anyone have one of these? We are all chipping in on the wall tent set-up. We got a 16x20 Montana Canvas relite wall/canvas top. I am in charge of the frame. I looked at different companies for the angle-brackets. Decided to order the adjustable type directly from Montana Canvas and will order and cut the EMT conduit for the frame. The brackets arrived yesterday and I was a little dissapointed with them. They don't have any set-screws and they are limited to two positions as far as adjustability. Considering they are twice as expensive as any other bracket supplier, I am tempted to send them back. Anyone have one of these tents with the adjustable brackets? Are they a pain to set up? Are the brackets worth 18.00 a piece. I need some help here. Thanks.

We have the same size Montana Canvas tent. Also used their
brackets. No need for adjustment. I think ours have a small bolt
and nut to tighten. We opened them up as far as they would go
and left them. Never had any trouble.

No need to worry about poles coming out w/o set screws.
The tent will hold everything together. Really helps to
color-code the poles, once you get it setup. Makes setup
at camp a lot faster and easier.
