tent fabric

Camping shelter cloth

Tent fabric is the material used to make the canopy and walls of a tent.

Modern tent fabrics are typically synthetic—nylon or polyester—chosen for their balance of weight, durability, and water resistance.

The tent fabric started leaking after years of UV exposure.

Heavier canvas tent fabric remains popular for long-term camping where weight matters less.
