Museum Wedge

$808.00$1,368.00

The design for this tent originated from a phone call. An enthusiastic client was returning from a trip to France. While there, he took the time to visit as many museums as he could and located one with a large belled wedge tent erected with a second door and a full coverage awning. The tent dated to the 1740s. He was so excited, he proceeded to set off alarms while measuring the tent and looking for details. Unable to wait until he arrived home, the call was made from JFK airport and the dimensions were communicated and put to the drawing board. The rest is history?!

The generous measurements of this tent allows two cots, boxes and tables to live in this tent with room to spare. We have used ours with an awning to sell from at events for years. Many marquee owners keep a Museum Wedge for shorter events. We can easily place a second door in the bell for added ventilation or access. We have even vented the roof panels.

The Museum Wedge is 10′ wide, 8′ high with a body of 4 panels (about 11’3″) long, plus a 5′ bell, making the tent about 16′ long overall. Livable without a huge footprint.

If you will be attaching an awning, wind ropes, or finials, you will need a metal grommet (or 2) in the peak of your tent through which the pins can run.

Looking for a way to keep warm? We can install a silicon jack through which a stove pipe can exit your tent, enabling you to have a toasty warm wood stove right inside your tent. Please pick the diameter of desired stove jack.

Stove jacks installed on slanted walls are usually oval in shape to allow for stove pipe to be straight up and down, not angled. If you would prefer a circular jack, your pipe will have to angled.

Some folks like a thicker than usual canvas. Our regular 10 oz. holds up very well, but we can accommodate a thicker canvas.
