[MR] trying to find a square/rectangular canvass tent

[Glynis Gwynedd]

I had one of those for a few years. It was nice because all the space inside
the tent is usable. We did upgrade to a Panther Regent because we weren't
pleased with the 41 inch walls (and there were two of us in the tent).

I do recommend you get the sod cloth flap option and make sure you specify
to put sod flaps on the door as well. If you don't your front doors (which
is also your front WALL, by the way) won't have flaps and will have a lovely
gap between the flap and the ground.

You might also consider making your own yurt. Some folks from House Hedgehog
made their own yurts this year and I think it wound up costing them about
$550 each. I could be wrong on that.
