[MR] Question about Tentsmiths and Panther Primitives

[Marybeth Lavrakas]

Wait until you have the actual tent before ordering poles. Tentsmiths sent me 
walls that require 6 ft 3 inch poles (as I recall, in the order stage they tell 
you "about 6 feet...)

What I did was buy the center pole from them, sleeved, and then made my own 
perimeter poles. 


I've owned tents from both vendors, btw, and I am a die hard Tentsmiths fan now.

Subject: [MR] Question about Tentsmiths and Panther Primitives

Has anyone purchased canvas from TentSmiths and then the pole set-up from
Panther?

This was a suggestion that I received, but I'm worried about the
measurements that Tent Smiths provide for their poles.  How close are they?

We're planning for a 14' x 14' center pole Marquee.  Since Tentsmiths seam
engineers all of their seams I would rather go with them.  I know I can get
a seam engineered tent from Panther, but it would actually cost more to get
the entire package from them.

If you could let me know of your experiences, I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Simona dell'Amore
