Our sailcloth tents are made of lighter vinyl that is transparent. These are not made of cloth as the vinyl allows them to still be waterproof. During the day, the light shines through and you can see shadows of trees through the vinyl. At night, the tent will glow the color of light that is being projected onto the ceiling. These tents come with wooden center poles and wooden side poles. These tents need to be staked or anchored down about every ten feet. Depending on the width of the tent, they come with a single peak or double peaks in the middle. They also have flags on the top outside of each center pole. These tents can come with solid or window sidewalls.
