What is the difference between all of the different types of canvas and canvas treatments?
Canvas comes in different weaves, weights, and treatments. It is important to understand the different canvas specifications because each will determine how well your tent will meet your needs. Weave The 2 most common weaves used in canvas wall tents are single-fill and double-fill. Single-fill canvas is a looser weave than double-fill. Most single-fill tent canvas is not treated (with the exception of tents made by Montana Canvas and sold by Cabelas). Although single-fill may feel thicker, that is only because it is woven less tightly. Single-fill generally has a lower tear resistance than double-fill, and will shrink up to 10% once it gets wet and dries. Double-fill canvas is stronger, more naturally water repellent due to the tighter weave, and normally shrinks less than 2%. Another way to understand the differences is by using thread count. Double-fill canvas has a higher thread count than single-fill canvas. Weight The most popular canvas weight for tent making is 10oz canvas. Thi
