Should I get a Canvas Wall Tent with a Sewn-in Floor?

Montana Canvas Wall Tent w/ Floor

Sewn-in floors are not necessary and should generally be avoided if you are using an internal frame. The reason is that it is quite challenging setting up a tent while you are inside of it! For this reason, tents with sewn-in floors usually take a small group of people (I recommend at least 3) to set up.

Plus, wall tent material is expensive! It just doesn’t make sense to be walking on it.

There is one advantage to a sewn in floor and that is that it keeps out pests. If you are very concerned about spiders, snakes, and mice then a sewn-in floor does help. In my opinion, however, the benefits do not outweigh the hassle.

Can I order an Elk Mountain Tent with a Sewn-in Floor?

Unfortunately, no. The material used in our tents is very expensive and very few people request this feature. Keeping a separate model for each tent that includes a sewn-in floor would require us to raise the prices on all our tents. However, if you’d like some separation between you and your gear and the ground, I recommend using a tarp – they’re cheap and can be replaced easily. There are also some great indoor/outdoor carpets that work.
