How Much do Wall Tents Weigh?

How much do Wall Tents Weigh?

At Elk Mountain Tents we use a unique polyester canvas that is much lighter than cotton.

The weights for our polyester canvas tents are as follows:

The 13x13 weighs about 50lbs.

The 13x16 weighs about 60lbs.

The 13 x 20 is about 70lbs.

Cotton tents weigh about twice as much as what’s listed above.

Cotton-blend tents weigh about 20~30% more than the polyester canvas.

Nylon tents are the lightest. This material is great for backpacking tents but don’t make for very sturdy wall tents.

**Don’t forget to include the weight of your poles! This also varies depending on the material you use and the size of the tent. However, just to give you an idea, the poles for our three tent sizes weigh about 90lbs, 100lbs, and 110lbs respectively. Most people choose to make their own poles to avoid the large shipping cost.
