An old canvas frame tent

[Tengu]

I dont think Ill use it, and its taking up a lot of room in the attic

its a 2 bedroom with an ali frame

worth passing on complete, or shall I take apart and sell as bits? Im sure you guys will be interested in big canvas panels and ali poles

what do you say?

Hi,

I am definitely interested in some large canvas panels ... I have been looking all over for canvas material for a project!

I can supply canvas for a project (material from old army camp bed) - the tent might be useful whole to a scout group as a kitchen tent or first aid tent - it's what we use on standing camps in our group.

yeah wen i did youth work we did to, we used them as wash houses, kitchens adult mess etc etc, if its complete and in good nick dont chop it up

do you remember elsan buckets and the tents they used to go in :D

if it mouldy, got bits missing, torn etc then cut it up i reckon

I might as well come clean ... although it will make my search harder! I had the idea of making a skirt to go around the bottom of my polish poncho tent ... thus making a small bell tent of sorts ... thank you for the offer, but a camp bed will probably not quite be big enough.

There must be a place where old patrol tents go to die!!

Problem is, they can often have a long life, I've a tent or two (cotton) that may well be older than you and still going strong.

We're about to have a kit sortout of our scout kit

If theres and tents / dining shelters with a bit of mould etc we may be able to help

postage would be horrific though - unless you fancy a jolly to north wales?
