Discover the Unmatched Quality of The Kodiak Canvas Tent: The Best on the Market
Camping enthusiasts know that having the right equipment is crucial for a comfortable and enjoyable outdoor experience. Today, embarking on a high-stakes camping adventure promises an exhilarating escape from the mundane and is set to test your survival skills in the untamed wilderness. For this reason, before proceeding to buy your equipment on any website, checking on customer reviews is a must. Kodiak Canvas Tents have emerged as the best-selling canvas tents in America to date, offering campers not only just a roof over their heads in the wilderness but also unparalleled durability and security against the elements and they are incredibly comfortable.
The Origins of the Kodiak Canvas tent
The story of Kodiak Canvas began with a group of frustrated campers who were dissatisfied with the flimsy, low-quality tents available in the market. They believed that there was a demand for rugged, high-quality tents that could withstand the elements, and so they set out to create a line of tents that they would be proud to camp in themselves. In 2006, the company introduced the revolutionary Flex-bow™ Kodiak tents, made with durable cotton canvas and heavy-duty steel poles. Since then, Kodiak Canvas has steadily grown and now holds the title of the best-selling canvas tent in America.
The Secret Behind the Success of Kodiak Canvas Tents: Hydra-Shield™ Canvas
One of the key reasons for the widespread acclaim of the Kodiak Tent is the use of their superior, marine-grade, 100% cotton duck Hydra-Shield™ canvas. This custom-woven and treated canvas is specifically designed for premium tent making and offers several benefits that set Kodiak Tents apart from the competition
Exceptional Waterproofness
The Hydra-Shield canvas is treated with a silicone, dry-finish that makes it watertight, breathable, and durable. This ensures that campers stay dry in Kodiak Canvas Tents even during heavy downpours, as the canvas does not leak or wick water. Rest assured you don't have to worry about touching the roof or walls of this tent in a downpour.
Unparalleled Breathability
Unlike synthetic fabrics or canvas treated with paraffin or oil, the Hydra-Shield canvas is highly breathable. This allows water vapour to escape, minimizing condensation, humidity, and mugginess, ensuring a comfortable camping experience in any of our Kodiak Canvas Tents.
Long-lasting Durability
The double-fill (two threads twisted together for superior strength) canvas is strong, durable, and highly resistant to mold and mildew. This means that Kodiak Canvas Tents can withstand the elements and outlive tents made with inferior fabrics.
Low Maintenance
The silicone-based treatment of the Hydra-Shield canvas is durable and long-lasting, rarely requiring re-treatment. This means that campers can enjoy hassle-free camping without worrying about the upkeep of their Kodiak Canvas Tents.

HERE'S WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY:
Fanstastic!
Customer service was fantastic the staff went above and beyond to file a claim to locate and the shipping date, of the 9x8 Kodiak flex-bow tent. This due date was delayed because of severe weather. They actually contacted me by phone to confirm that I received the tent that was dropped at my residence today. Personally I could have not expected any better service. If I could have rated them more than 5 stars I would have. Do not hesitate to buy from Wild Oak Trail. Tom

What do I need to know for extended use situations for my Kodiak Canvas Tent?
If you plan to stay in your Kodiak Canvas Tent for over 3 weeks at a time, there are a few things you need to keep in mind to maximize the life of your tent.
• Mildew: More likely to grow in dark, shady areas or humid climates. You can prevent it by checking and opening your Kodiak Tent up every day to air it out. Try and place the tent in an area where it can get a couple of hours of direct sun a day.
• Canvas Rot: This can occur when the walls at the bottom of the tent are constantly touching moist ground, which prevents it from drying out and will eventually lead to decay or rot of those areas. This can happen with precipitation or moisture from dew. You can prevent this by making sure the tent is correctly placed in an area that's dry and well drained. Placing it on sand, gravel or a slated wooden platform is ideal. Extended use on moist soil or grassy areas should be avoided.
UV Damage: Your Kodiak Canvas Tent is a lot less susceptible to UV ray deterioration than synthetic fabric tents, however over time UV ray damage can eventually degrade the the tent. Ideally, if you place your Kodiak Tent correctly in an area where it receives full sunlight for just a few hours a day, this will prolong its useful life as it will be protected from prolonged the harsh UV ray.
