We primarily carry two kinds of tents.
Push Pole - is held in the air by center poles and the tarp and must be pulled down on top of the centerpoles with a spike in the ground usually ever 5'-10' apart. (must have spikes can not use barrels) - Frame or also called Free stand- Basically we build a metal frame and attach the tarp over the top of the frame then lift it into air and install legs under it to hold it up. this tent would stand by itself if weather was not a factor. Free stand tents have to be anchored down by a spikes or water barrels. but do not need as many as a push pole tent.
