Features of an 8 person tent

Material - Our all 8-person tents are made with 100% army duck cotton canvas. Treated with waterproofing and a UV and mold-resistant finish, these tents are extremely durable. Double-stitched seams, military-grade waterproof zippers, bug mesh-covered windows and doors.

Whether you’re snowed in during a winter camping trip, or enduring the heat of the summer months, a UV-resistant and waterproof tent is an excellent investment. Camp any time of year with peace of mind that your tent is fully reliable.

Tool kit - Every White Duck tent comes with a tool kit to help with set up and tear down. These include everything you’ll need as far as stakes and ropes, as well as a mallet to help secure everything down. The durable canvas bag allows you to keep every little thing organized and safe.

Bug mesh windows and doors - Enjoy the fresh airflow day and night without having to worry about bugs or critters. Dark-tinted mesh windows and door covers allow you to open up the tent, let air and light in, and remain protected from unwanted guests.

Setting up camp should be easy and hassle-free. No one wants to get caught up in a tangle of guy lines and canvas. That’s why White Duck crafts all large tents with an intuitive design and easy to follow-along instructions. Remember– the larger the tent, the more hands are required for a successful setup. With 2-3 people working together, an 8 person tent can be set up in just 15-20 minutes. Be sure to carefully follow the instructions included in your tent bag, and also reference the corresponding instructional video on our website.

Regular cleaning and maintenance of your 8 person tent is imperative to preserve the overall health and lifespan of your canvas tent. Canvas, being extremely durable, only requires cleaning at the end of the season before going into long-term storage, or if absolutely necessary.

Spot-leaning canvas is easy to do! Identify the areas where debris or dirt has seeped into the fibers, and soak it down with warm water and a little bit of mild soap. Avoid using anything with harsh chemicals that may damage the waterproofing finish and tensile stretch of the canvas. Leave it out flat to dry completely in the sun, then store in a cool dry place until next time. If your tent is well-loved and in need of a refresh, re-waterproofing the canvas is a worthwhile endeavor.

Lighting - Lanterns, flashlights, string lights, headlamps– campers ought to always have multiple sources of light while out camping.

Cooking - A built-in stove jack really sets a White Duck 8 person tent apart on the market. This makes it easy to install and use a propane or wood burning stove.

Storage - Vertical or hanging organizers, and built-in side pockets for smaller pieces of gear help keep things organized and not cluttered.

Ground cover and rainfly - UV, mold, and mildew resistant. Fully waterproofed.

Folding table and chairs - Helps extend usable outdoor space at the campsite.

Strategic organization and storage - Camping successfully in an 8 person tent requires some creativity regarding storage. The bigger the tent, the more people and gear. Keep track of everything with strategic storage solutions like vertical or hanging organizers. This opens up floor space and provides a spot for everything. Canvas duffle bags, shoes, and other more frequently used pieces of gear can remain near the entrance of the tent to minimize dirt and debris.

Sleeping orientations - Surrounding the walls so that there is shared space in the middle for a cabin tent. In a round bell tent, all sleeping pads can point towards the center in a circle, creating plenty of room for everyone, and space in between.

Extending outdoor space - Use a shade awning, folding tables and chairs, and string lights to create a porch-like effect outside the entrance of your tent. Utilizing these will provide more opportunities to lounge outside of the tent itself and enjoy the fresh air.
