canvas tent

Camper's cloth dwelling

A canvas tent is a portable shelter made from heavy cotton fabric treated for water resistance.

Canvas tents are sturdier and more breathable than modern nylon alternatives, favored for extended camping, wall tents, and historical reenactments: The canvas tent held up well through a week of rain.

They require more maintenance but last for decades.
