American Civil War Camp Equipment

    This is the standard tent carried by the soldiers during the American Civil War and Indian Wars. It takes two halves to make a complete wedge. Like the originals these button together along the ridge and are supported by 2 uprights (sticks, muskets with bayonets stuck in the ground or sabres) and a rope (or ridge pole).

    It takes 8 tent stakes to set up a full dog tent (2 halves buttoned together.)

    These are available in either 10.38 oz UNTREATED canvas duck or 10.38 oz Sunforger with flame retardant.

    We have three styles of Civil War era wall tents to choose from. Each comes with one door w/overlap facing, rolled canvas peg loops and spur washer grommets at the peak ends and along the walls. Add $15.00 for a second door.

    Flys for these tents come with brass grommets along the side edges and a grommet at the midway point along each end. Of course all grommet positions are well reinforced.

    The lengths of these tents and flys are variable because they're made from several canvas panels. Because canvas panels vary in width between lots the lengths of the tentage above may differ one way or the other a couple of inches.

    The full size Sibley is made just like the originals and measures 12' tall and 18' in diameter at the base. It is held up by a single pole in the center. The front door is an authentic 8'9" tall, while the rear ventilation doorway is 5' tall. The peak is complete with sewn iron ring, canvas collar and brass grommets, which are set through 4 layers of canvas. These Sibley tents are made a 10 ounce Water Repellent, Flame Retardant, Mildew Resistant Canvas
