WILDERNESS TENT ANGLE JOINT KITS Angle Joint Diagram - shown as a three rafter angle kit
WILDERNESS STEEL120º ANGLE JOINTS ARE IN STOCK AND CAN SHIP NEXT BUSINESS DAY. MOST 12', 14', 15', 16' & 18' WIDE TENTS REQUIRE THE 120º ANGLE JOINTS. WILDERNESS ANGLES ARE GALVANIZED WITH SUPPORT BRACES FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH & DURABILITY. CUSTOMERS FROM CANADA : Please visit CANVASTENTSHOP.CA Canada web site designed to eliminate your brokerage fees and reduce shipping for US tents and tent stoves to Canada. Angle Kits, Canvas tents and tent stoves are in Canada ready for shipment. Purchasing angle kits and then purchasing 1 inside diameter, thin walled, electrical conduit (slightly less than 1 1/4 " outside diameter) at a local hardware store is the most economical approach to purchasing an internal frame. Internal frame shipping charges are very high due to the weight of an internal frame. I will provide assistance if you have trouble understanding angle kit instructions. Typical frame savings using an angle kit on a 12x14 internal frame is $200. 95% of my customers buy an angle kit and make their own frame. Angle kit frames made of conduit are not quite as strong as regular steel frames. A maximum distance of 6' is recommended between rafters. More than 6' causes a sag in the roof and significantly reduces snow load carrying capacity. The table below gives recommended rafter requirements for different lengths of tents. If you expect heavy snow loads add one additional rafter length to your joint angle kit purchase. The additional rafter significantly increases the strength of your internal frame. RECOMMENDATION: After making your frame I recommend you wet down your new tent. When wetting your tent for shrinkage, and also when it rains/snows, insure that you have guy ropes/side ropes and wall stakes on your new wall tent to insure it only shrinks the normal 1-3% shrinkage and that it shrinks evenly. Otherwise it may shrink more than 3% and unevenly and may not fit your internal frame properly. RECOMMENDATION: Purchase the Wilderness angle kit if you need 120 degree angles. All angles I sell do not fail during stress tests on a frame - the poles will always bend - angles never bend or break their weld. Wilderness angles have a support brace between joints for additional strength. EXTENDED FLY OR AWNING: TO MAKE AN ANGLE KIT FRAME EXTENSION FOR A TENT WITHOUT EAVE OPENINGS - I recommend a 4way on the ridge end that goes through a ridge end opening and purchase 3 more 3 way angles. Your ridge extension conduit will fit into the 4 way on the ridge end and then connect to a 3 way at the end of ridge extension. Add rafters and legs using the 2 remaining 3 way angles. I recommend you drill holes in the ridge extension angles and conduit and install nuts and bolts to keep these angles in place as there is no tent enveloping the frame to keep the frame in place during windy conditions. ( If ridge extension is more than 6' you will need to buy 3 each 4 way to add another set of rafters) SHIPPING PRICES are applicable to only lower 48 states. Canada and Alaska customers call or email for shipping quotes. Minimum shipping is $10 for angles or sleeves ORDERING ANGLE KITS: To insure you order/receive the correct degree of angle, measure your tent width ( C measurement ) and slope ( B measurement ). The slope is the distance from top of the ridge to where roof meets the wall. In comments of check out form, type in width and slope measurements.
