Springbar Tent | Canoetripping.net Forums


There is a German expression for what you (and I) are looking for. It is called "Die Eierlegende Wollmilchsau", "the egg-laying wool-milk-pig".
I have been comparing various canvas and poly tents for canoeing. More specifically, the type of canoeing/camping my family does most. We live in northern California where canoeing is possible year round. 90% of our canoe trips are on flat water because most rivers, along the west slopes of the Sierras, are torrents with WW-III and up. Most of our flat water is provided by reservoirs, and most of those are day-trip, or single over nighter size. Virtually zero portage ever. There are a few rivers near by, but again, pretty much no portaging required.

Our favorite canoe places are in the Sierra Nevada at elevations of 4,000 to 6,000 feet. Many of those locations are (IMO) only enjoyable, once the masses have left, between October and March. That is also the time of snow and night time temperatures to below zero. We have not camped in those conditions, mostly due to lack of access to those lakes in the winter (Tahoe being the exception), and due to the lack of a suitable tent. Well...and due to my wife thinking I am insane for even contemplating winter camping. We are very fortunate to have access to some private land along some of the lakes, and mostly crowd-free camping is possible from May through November. However, summer temperatures, even at the elevations mentioned, are often above 100°F. Long story short, I am looking for a 3+ season tent with great ventilation and the possibility to stick a small stove in it if need be.

I believe most poly tents are out for stoves. Yes I know, some people have done it with other than poly outfitter type tents and claim it is fine, but just the idea of the tent catching fire or melting while we are asleep, is just not appealing. So for me, the stove thing excludes poly tents right there. I am also looking for a tent, comfortably large enough for 3 plus the stove and maybe some gear and/or a dog. My initial weight limit was 30lbs. I know that is heavy, but again, no portages and base-camp type setup rather than moving camp every day. Also, I am hopelessly in love with the idea of a canvas tent, so I have adjusted my weight limit to 45lbs, and I may be insane for doing so. As far as price goes, I have pretty much given up on finding the combined attributes I am looking for, for under $1K or even more. The closest I have been able to find are some of the Springbars, or the Split Torrent tent from Ellis Canvas, or even the Baker tent Canotrouge mentioned above. Although I am worried about wind (Sierra lakes are very windy in summer afternoons), and ventilation with only one large opening in the front. The alternative to what we are looking for may have to be two different tent setup, based on season.

Below is a spreadsheet (copy) of the tents I have contemplated so far, sorted by weight.

Any additional tents to look at and any constructive criticism is always welcome!

Why Choose Spring Bar Tents?

Oct. 09,

What is a Spring Bar Tent?

 

Spring bar tents are a specific type of canvas tent that uses a unique spring bar system to create a robust and taut structure. The frame, typically made of steel, is designed with spring bars that provide tension across the tent&#;s canvas, making it sturdy and resistant to harsh weather conditions.

 

Unlike many modern tents that rely on fiberglass or aluminum poles, the spring bar design allows for exceptional strength and flexibility. This system gives the tent its signature ability to withstand strong winds and heavy rain without collapsing or losing its shape.

 


Advantages of Spring Bar Tents

 

Reliable Performance in Harsh Weather

 

From the rugged terrain of Everest basecamp to the windswept playa of Burning Man and the torrential monsoon rains of the Southwest, Spring bar Tents have proven their durability. Designed to meet the needs of professional outfitters, hunters, and weekend adventurers alike, these tents are built to withstand extreme conditions.

 

Simple Setup

 

Whether you&#;re a first-time car camper, part of a boy scout troop, or setting up camp every weekend, the Spring bar Tent offers quick and easy setup. Its one-person pitch design ensures that anyone can have it ready in no time, making camping more accessible and hassle-free.

 

Legendary Durability

 

It&#;s common for Spring bar owners to get 30 or 40 years of good service from their tent. With a little maintenance and common sense care, a Spring bar Tent will last for a lifetime of camping experiences. As the old saying goes: buy once, buy right.

 

Waterproof

 

Stay Dry in The Rain: While not 'waterproof' in the same sense as plastics and some synthetic materials, our canvas is tightly woven and treated to be extremely water-resistant.

 

Comfort & Space

 

Want more information on springbar canvas tent? Feel free to contact us.

Spring bar tents are designed to offer maximum interior space and comfortable standing height throughout, making them a place you'll actually enjoy spending time in. Crafted from 100% cotton canvas, these tents effectively keep out wind and wet weather while remaining breathable. This unique fabric ensures that Spring bar tents stay cooler in hot conditions and warmer in the cold, outperforming synthetic tent materials in temperature regulation.

 

Iconic Style

 

First introduced in , Spring bar tents showcase the sleek influence of mid-century design, featuring clean lines, open interior spaces, and large windows that invite the outdoors in. Their classic, timeless look has made them a favorite among DIY glampers and style-conscious campers worldwide.

 

Versatility

 

Spring bar tents are incredibly versatile, making them suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. They&#;re commonly used for:

- Camping: Whether you&#;re camping in the mountains, desert, or forest, these tents provide reliable shelter in all kinds of conditions.

- Hunting and Fishing: The durability and weather resistance of spring bar tents make them a great choice for hunters and anglers who need a sturdy base camp.

- Overland Adventures: For those who enjoy overlanding or vehicle-based adventures, spring bar tents are an excellent option for rugged, extended trips.

- Festivals and Events: The roomy interiors and ease of setup make spring bar tents a popular choice for festival-goers who want comfort and space during their stay.

 

Disadvantages of Spring Bar Tents

 

While spring bar tents have many advantages, there are a few downsides to consider:

 

1. Heavier Weight


Due to the use of canvas and steel frames, spring bar tents are typically heavier than lightweight backpacking tents. This makes them less ideal for activities where portability is essential, such as long-distance hiking or ultralight camping. However, for car camping or situations where you don&#;t need to carry your tent long distances, the added weight is usually not a major issue.

 

2. Higher Cost


Spring bar tents tend to be more expensive than standard synthetic tents. The higher price reflects the use of premium materials and the superior craftsmanship that goes into making these tents. However, many campers find that the durability and long lifespan of spring bar tents make them worth the investment.

 

Conclusion

 

Spring bar canvas tents offer a perfect balance of durability, weather resistance, and comfort, making them an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize quality and reliability. While they may be heavier and more expensive than standard tents, their long lifespan and versatility make them a worthwhile investment for those who enjoy frequent camping trips or outdoor adventures.
