Dear Friends,With the downturn in the economy there has been a lot of talk lately about

buying American. ABC news has a Buy American series on the Nationalnews and the new Small Business Saturday promoted Christmas sales betweenBlack Friday and Cyber Monday.

Panther has always been a great place to Buy American. All of our tentsare made right here in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains by WestVirginians. Our tent poles are made by an American company and our tentstakes are made by hand locally.

By shopping with Panther you are helping to support the dozens ofAmerican small businesses and craftspeople who make our wooden buckets,hand forged ironware, wooden kegs, chairs, tables, leather items, knives, pack

baskets and many of our other items.The support youve given Panther has made us the number one name in

historical tentage and camp gear, and wed like to thank you for that. We thinkof our customers as friends and thats the way we treat you whenyou call.

Enjoy the 21st edition ofour catalog. Were looking

forward to hearing from yousoon.

Sincerely,Sam & Theresa Darby

We had several people that wanted to seriously look at the tent, as they are contemplatinga purchase. We could not stress to them enough how pleased we are with your company,both in service and in quality.This is our second Panther in ten years and we would never recommend anyone else.

Again our thanks,P.T., Marietta, GA

HISTORYS BEST TENTS

More than just a play on words, Historys Best Tents is our motto! Its thestandard that weve set for ourselves and it comes from our commitment tomake the very best tents you can find anywhere.

Consider the steps that your Panther tent goes through before we send it

out to you.First, we select only top grade army duck for our tentage, and after the

finishing mill applies the treatment, a series of quality tests are run.Next, each batch of canvas undergoes additional testing here at our fac-

tory before we make a single cut.Once production has begun, every sewing machine operator fills out a

quality checklist on each tent he or she makes. Like anyone who takespride in their craft, our sewers sign their work upon completion.

Finally, your tent is inspected, assigned a quality control tracing number,and packed into a box for shipment to you.

We do it all under our own roof, never farming out any of our work to sub-contractors. In-house manufacturing helps us monitor quality from the firstcut to the final packaging.

We have an extremely talented sewing crew that were very proud of.They use only heavy duty industrial sewing machines (some as wide as42) with customized attachments to build our tents. Their skill and dedica-

tion to make only the best is the reason that all Panther tents come to youwith a LIFETIME WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY.

Our overriding emphasis on QUALITY has led to Panther becoming theworlds largest manufacturer of historical tents. (We have customers in 45countries on 6 continents!) Its why we can offer you our famous GUARAN-TEE and TENT WARRANTY (Pg. 4) and its why Panther tents are pre-ferred over all brands of historical shelters.

Most importantly, its the reason that so many of our customers return for

their second, third and fourth tents. Folks know theyre getting the best inmaterials and workmanship with a Panther tent because we never skimp oneither one!

Well make you a tent youll be proud to own.

I just wanted to let you know how very much our family appreciates the quality of the tent you made

for us five years ago. Its weathered monsoons so severe that we watched cars sink up to their axles

in mud. Its also survived gale force winds that blew every tent around us down. I always recommend

Panther to newbies if they plan to stay warm, dry and happy in all conditions.

Sincerely, F.K. - El Dorado Hills, CA

Im on my third Panther tent and have purchased other goods. Could not be happier. Friendly, knowl-

edgeable staff.

Worldwide, Panther tents are consistently chosen for their high quality, and wetake great pride in making them for you.

#1) THE MOST REINFORCINGNobody even comes close to building a shelter with as much attention toreinforcing the stress areas as Panther. Our tents set the standard forstrength and durability. Over 35 years of camping experience has shownus that features like our full length ridge line reinforcements, while takingmore time to install, WILL make a huge difference in how your tent holdsup. Our obsession with quality and the resulting reinforcements meansthat a Panther tent is the most durable you can get!

#2) STRONGER SEAMSAll of the seams in your Panther tent will be flat felled, with at least tworows of stitching. Roof seams are actually two rows of stitching through 4layers of canvas (double stitched flat felled seam). This is the strongestand most water resistant way to join two pieces of canvas. (See page 8for a diagram of this seam)

#3) ACCURATE SIZES!These days one must be careful when shopping for a specific sizedshelter. The size listed in a catalog may be the cut size rather than thefinished size. Too many times weve heard from folks whove beenfooled by this tactic and received a tent much smaller than they thoughtthey were ordering. A marquee 18x21 can end up being more like17x20 and a 10x15 wall tent that they cut a 15 ridge pole for comesthrough at only about 142 long!

All of our tents are listed in finished sizes so you know what youregetting for your money. None of them will vary more than a couple inchesfrom the stated size.

#4) YOU GET MORE FOR YOUR MONEYMany of the options that youd pay extra for elsewhere (like double doorson wall tents) are standard features of Panther tents, and when you buyone of our tents you get a complete support package along with it. (see pg. 4)

Add in our Outstanding Customer Service, Warranty, and In House QualityControls and you definitely get more for your money from Panther!

#5) THE BEST GUARANTEEWere famous for our tent guarantee! You get it in writing on page four ofthis catalog.

LOVING WHAT WE DO

Many things go into making an incredible tent, and youll find all the techni-cal aspects of our tentmaking detailed over the next few pages. But its lovingwhat we do that gives us the passion for this business.

Were right out there with you at historical events, living in a tent at least 8weeks out of every year. Weve personally tested our shelters in rain, snow,sleet, sub-zero temperatures, blistering heat and high winds, and have done itin the name of FUN! Nothing beats first hand experience, when it comes toadvising folks on historic camping. Thats why our customer service reps get toattend events with us as part of their training. They have fun too!

Work isnt seen as a four-letter word around here. Its more like an adventure!Its pretty neat to see our tents on display when we visit customers like ColonialWilliamsburg, Old Fort Niagara or one of the many other historical sites or muse-

ums that have made Panther their choice for tentage. Its FUN to grab a bag of pop-corn and sit down to watch one of the movies that Panther products have beenincluded in. Some recent releases includeThe Rum Diaries, Jonah Hex, The YearOne, Gods & Generals, Abraham Lincoln, The Last Samurai, Hildalgo, Pirates of

the Caribbean 1-4, The Captives, Secondhand Lions, The Alamo, Singularity, Ray

and televisions Deadwood, Dexter and others.Our love for this hobby has translated into a level of superior quality products and

customer service that is the stuff of legends around the living history community.

Wed like to say THANKS for the opportunity to share it with you.

Our friendly customer service reps get firsthand experience in setting up the many differenttents that we offer. Its just one more way to insurethat you get the best possible service when youcall Panther!

WE START OUT WITH THEHIGHEST QUALITY CANVAS!

Weve spent a lot of time researching and com-paring canvasses. As a matter of fact, we maintain a year round test rack whichenables us to compare the performance and durability of 13 varieties of canvas at

once. The four types that we offer you for our tents are unquestionably the best can-vasses on the market today, and our customers will confirm it!All four begin with a base canvas that is 100% cotton army duck. In an army duck

the yarns are twisted before being woven into canvas. The result is a tighter weaveand increased strength. Our army duck is 54x42, 2 ply cotton.

We use only 36 wide material. Its a lot easier to make a tent from 60 wide mate-rial because it requires fewer seams. Unfortunately, it also leaves you with a droopylooking tent. Using 36 wide canvas means more seams and more labor, but it givesyou a shelter that holds its shape better with less bagging and sagging. It also givesyou more ties than normal for added flexibility.

Before we even make the first cut, our canvasses are treated at the mill. A facto-ry treatment is done by professionals with special equipment. The result is a moreuniform and high quality finish, and a tent with better water shedding capabilities.

All our canvasses are treated for mildew resistance. Does this mean they willnever mildew or turn gray? No. Any canvas will mildew under the right conditions,and white canvasses will turn dark when exposed to the elements over time, but thetreatments on these four canvasses resist mildew and darkening better than othercotton canvasses.

CANVAS SAMPLES

Give us a call at 1-800-487-2684 if youd like to test out our canvasses. Wellrush samples out to you, so you can put them to the test! Once youve held themunder running water, lit a match to the flame retardant ones, etc. youll see thatthey are the best available cotton canvasses anywhere!

THE GIANT XYLOPHONE

Actually its our canvas testing rack. We use it to monitor and compare fiberbreakdown, color fastness, water and mildew resistance 12 months a year. Our

in-house test-ing is oneof the wayswe can insurethat your tentis made ofthe best can-vas on themarket.

If you got any better youd be wearing wings & halos!T.F. - Lancaster, PA

YOU MAY CHOOSE BETWEEN FOUR CANVASSES FORYOUR TENT!

FLAME RETARDANT 10.38 oz. Army Duck

This treatment is flame retardant, water repellent, and mildew resistant with

a shrinkage factor of approximately 7%. This means that it will shrink morethan our Sunforger canvases below. It is also a dip-method treatment, whichresults in a stiffer and heavier finished product. It costs more simply becauseit is from a different mill than Sunforger.

This canvas is very white and holds its color extremely well. The flame retar-dancy is just that, a RETARDANT! Theres no such thing as a FLAMEPROOFtent. Please exercise caution with any canvas when near fires, wood stoves, etc.This canvas meets California Fire Marshals Code CPAI-84; a standard by whichsome flame retardant treatments are measured. Check with your AttorneyGenerals office for flame retardancy requirements on tents in your state.

NOTE! Flame retardancy will diminish within a few years. How long it will laston your tent will vary with use and exposure to the elements. See page 10 formore information.

Colors! This canvas is also available in Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Black,Purple and Khaki! Its the material we use to make our colorful Medieval tents,and its also available by the yard (Pg. 66). See inside front cover for anapproximation of these colors.

SUNFORGER 10.38 oz. Army Duck

Sunforger

is a fantastic treatment that combines water repellency, marine fin-ishing and boatshrunk application.The result is a strong, but lightweight canvas that sheds water, resists mildew,

mold, algae, and fungi, and has a smaller shrinkage factor.Because it is a Dry Application finish, tents made of Sunforger are significant-

ly lighter in weight than tents made of other canvasses.

FLAME RETARDANT SUNFORGER 10.38 oz. Army Duck

This canvas has the same properties as Sunforger, but with a flame retar-

dancy added. This canvas is lighter in weight than the above flame retardant,but just as strong. It is not a bright white like the other but it breathes better andhas a smaller shrinkage factor. The flame retardancy is only a RETARDANT!Theres no such thing as a FLAME-PROOF tent. Please exercise caution withany canvas when near fires, woodstoves, etc. This canvas meets CaliforniaFire Marshals Code CPAI-84; a standard by which some flame retardant treat-ments are measured. You should check with your Attorney Generals office forflame retardancy requirements on tents in your state.NOTE! Flame retardancy will diminish within a few years. How long it will laston your tent will vary with use and exposure to the elements. See page 10 formore information.

FLAME RETARDANT SUNFORGER 13 oz. Army Duck

THE ULTIMATE! This extra heavy duty canvas is the same superior treat-ment as above, applied to an army duck that is 25% heavier! The result is aSUPER-CANVAS for extra harsh climates and a longer lasting tent.

On average, 13 oz. SUNFORGER has 30% more tare strength than the10.38 oz. version. This is the toughest canvas on the market!

THE SEAMS ON PANTHER TENTS ARE THESTRONGEST THAT YOU CAN FIND ANYWHERE!

Anytime we join two pieces of canvas, they get two lines of lockstitchingto hold them together. Roof areas of all wall tents, wedges, marquees,hunters, leantos and pavilions are done with the double stitched flat felledseam. This means two rows of lock-stitching through 4 layers ofcanvas each. (see below)

There is no such thing as a raw edge on any Panther tent. All edges areeither hemmed or in a seam for extra strength and better appearance.

The end edges of our wall tents and wedge tents are lapped and tuckedunder. This creates a sill edge effect and works best for shedding water.

A SEAM SHOULDNT DOUBLE AS READING MATERIAL!

Ours dont. Were talking about the brand along the selvage of Sunforgercanvasses. With other manufacturers, youre likely to see it over and overon the inside of your tent. We run 10,000 yards of Sunforger at one time,and we do NOT let the mill put that branding on our material. Therefore all

our seams are free of writing.

NEEDLES AND THREAD

A round needle does not cut the canvas fibers like a triangular one does.We use only round needles to avoid this fabric damage and help the threadfill the needle hole more completely.

We use a #12 poly-core, cotton wrapped thread on our lodges. The cot-ton threads just arent strong enough. The poly threads are strong but theycan cut the canvas fibers, and poly thread wont swell to fill the needleholes, and leakage can result.

With a poly-core, cotton wrapped thread you get the best of both types. Itis much stronger than ordinary cotton thread and it lasts longer. The cottonwrap swells to fill the needle holes thus preventing leakage!

THE DOUBLE STITCHEDFLAT FELLED SEAM IS

THE STRONGEST WAY TOJOIN TWO PIECES OF

CANVAS.

Due to quality of materials used for re-enacting history I would recommend your products as well as

the quality of your tents as far superior to anything on the market

Our ties are 100% cotton webbing, which we place very liberally on all tents. Ourpolicy is better too many ties than too few and they are spaced an average of 24apart on most shelters.

Loops on the walls of Panther wall tents and on tent flys are 1 heavy dutycotton webbing with a test weight capacity of 130 lbs!

DELIVERY TIME

The time it takes to make your tent varies with the time of year. There are timeswhen we have shelters in stock. When they are not in stock you should allow 3-5weeks, but during the Spring the wait is longer. Order early and give us plenty ofadvance notice if you have a special date that you need your tent. We always haveto turn some orders away during the peak season, but thats only because werefuse to rush any order through at the cost of quality!

LAYAWAY! - You can put a tent on our layaway plan by making a payment once eachmonth for up to 6 months! See How To Order in the back of the catalog for details.

CUSTOM ORDERS

We often do custom work for folks who want something different. If you havesomething you want a quote on, YOU MUST SEND IN A SKETCH with measure-ments and well send you a price. Trying to explain something custom over thephone doesnt always work, so youll have to send the drawing to take advantageof our guarantee! Custom orders require a 50% deposit.

We will send you a custom letter and a sketch for you to sign and return. Noreturns are allowed on any custom order that is made to your specifications.If youd like to try making your own shelter, we sell our fine canvasses, ties, and

loop material by the yard. (See Page 66)

-9-

WEVE MADE THE BEST PEG LOOPS EVEN BETTER!

Our heavy duty rolled canvas peg loops have always been the toughest

around, but now weve made them even tougher. Weve added a piece of

nylon webbing to the inside for more strength and tear resistance. The nylon

is wrapped with a rolled canvas layer for an authentic appearance and a loop

that doesnt wear out.

Panther tents come with plenty of these loops. We space them at about

24 intervals around the base of most of our tents. (Theyre a little farther apart

on our marquee walls).

THE COLOR OPTIONRed, Blue, Black, Green, Yellow, Khaki and Purple canvas is available for our

Medieval customers. This canvas is the same type as the flame retardantcanvas described at the top of page 7. When you order the color option, your tentMUST be made from this type of canvas. Sunforger canvasses are not available in

colors. Color option tents are custom order, so well need a sketch of what youd likeyour tent to look like, and a 50% deposit with your order.

Youll find pricing in a column beside each tents price chart. The price is for eitherone solid color or alternating strips of canvas approx. 33 wide. The color option priceis in addition to the price of the basic tent in flame retardant canvas. (Please note thaton rectangular marquees, alternating bands of color will not normally come out even,like on some other tent styles). If you want a customized color combination, wellquote you a price based on the sketch that you send us.

SOD FLAP - A 10 turn in at the bottom of your walls or curtain to help

seal gaps on uneven ground. We recommend this for

most tents.

GROUND CLOTH - A large floor for the interior of your tent. This keeps

moisture from coming up through the ground inside yourtent. When used with a sod flap, the ground cloth over-

laps to completely seal out wind, moisture and insects.

We offer these in regular and our SUPER GROUND

CLOTH on page 59.

STOVE HOLE - An insert sewn into your tent that is heat resistant up to

1,000 Farenheit. Necessary for any wood stove usage.

These come with an outside cover flap that ties open or

closed. (See page 65 for a full description of our stove hole

inserts) Specify the diameter of your stove pipe whenordering and send a sketch of where youd like placement.

NOTE: STOVE HOLES ARE AVAILABLE ONLY ON

TENTS MADE OF ONE OF OUR FLAME RETARDANT

CANVASSES.

PEAK GROMMETS - We put brass, rolled ring spur washer grommets on the ridge

line of all marquees, wall tents, wedges, flys and any other

tent that takes a ridge pole. These grommets enable your

upright pins to stick out the top of your tent. The inside diam-

eter of these grommets is 5/8 inch.SCALLOPS - Sometimes called dagging, this is the ornamental edging

along the edges of a tent. We offer you 8 styles and 16

colors of braid on page 14.

FLAME This is available on all our tents, in three different

RETARDANCY - canvasses (See pg. 7). This makes the canvas RETARDANT

to flame, meaning that it WILL burn as long as a flame is

touching it. It will not, however, support its own flame, so

when the source is removed, the canvas will extinguish itself.

There is no such thing as a FLAME PROOF tent. Pleaseexercise caution when near fires, wood stoves, etc. All three

of our flame retardant canvasses meet the industry standard

of CPAI-84. When you order a flame retardant tent from us

we mark it on an identification tag so you have proof for the

fire marshal. Flame retardancy treatments will diminish with-

in a few years. How long it will last on your tent will vary,

depending on usage and exposure to the elements.

THE MARQUEE

Used as early as the Renaissance Period and still a popular design today, themarquee is appropriate for virtually all historical eras of re-enacting from Medievalthrough the American Fur Trade.

We use a rectangular marquee for our store at historical events. We can tell youfrom personal experience that they cant be beat for dealer set-up. Today, more folks

are using marquees for family camps. The high peak and walls make for the bestheadroom and useable space of any shelter.The standard 6 wall height works well for most family camps, but if youre planning

on using your marquee for a store (or if youre just a really tall person!) we recommendordering the 7 walls.

Nobody has put more thought into the design of marquee tents than PantherPrimitives. Through our years of personal use weve been able to make constantrevisions and adjustments that add flexibility and convenience to your tent.

-12-

THE SCALLOP GUARDOne of the ornamental additions to any marquee is the colorful scallop that runs theperimeter of the tent. However, one of the problems you run into is windy conditionsblowing rain under the edge of these. To combat this nusiance weve added a strip ofcanvas approximately as wide as the scalloping edge along the inside. Your curtainshang up in between this strip and the scallop, thus sealing out the wind and rain.

THE CURTAINS

One of the nicest features about the Panther marquee is the extra flexibility built into the curtain design. A great deal of planning and practical application has gone into

developing this concept so that you will be able to get the most for your tent dollar.All of the other marquees we had seen had curtains that attached to a stationaryD-Ring or tied to a sewn in tie. This method usually meant two things. First wasthat your curtains always had to stay in the same place. If your door overlap was onthe corner of the tent, thats where it always had to be. Secondly, putting up and tak-ing down the curtains was quite difficult and time consuming. This was especiallytrue for the tie method where you must hold up the curtain and tie off each point atthe same time.

We developed a method to eliminate both of these problems. The Panther mar-quee canopy comes with a 3/16 cotton rope strung tightly around the perimeterbetween the scallop and guard flap. Your curtains hang on this rope by small brass

S-Hooks. Obviously the curtains go up and down much more quickly, and you canmove the curtains around to position them anywhere you want. This means that yourdoor can be at a corner, in the middle of one side, or anyplace in between, depend-ing upon your wishes. You may substitute snap hooks for the brass S-Hooks if youdlike to.

INTO THE DESIGN OF

MARQUEE TENTS

THAN PANTHER!

Its the best designed and constructed marquee tent Ive ever used, or seen from other sources.

J.A. - Hagerstown, MD


15/161

Our curtains are made up ofvertical wall panels for addedstrength, and each curtainoverlaps 17 with ties inside

and out. This systems givesyou maximum protection fromthe weather.

All rectangular and squaremarquees come with four curtains, so you can have as many as four doors!

It is more work to make the extra curtains, rather than have one for the wholetent, but weve found that by having multiple curtains your flexibility of set-up isgreater. A lot of times well drop more than one side to get a breeze, and in the rainwell usually just drop one side curtain. On sunny days you may wish to use one ofthe curtains as a side canopy extending from the tent. We put brass grommets on

two corners of the curtains so that you can do just that!POLE TIES are available for $30.00 extra, and attach midway up at each pole.

Be aware that if you use pole ties, your curtains must always stay in the same posi-tion. In other words, you lose the flexibility of moving the doors around. The onlyexception to this rule is if you order the seam engineered style (Pg. 16).

WHAT ABOUT SLANTED WALLS?

Slanted walls have grown in popularity over the last several years. One reason isthat they increase your floor space significantly. Wooden chests, baskets and canvasbags full of camp gear can be stored next to the base of the wall without interferingwith your original living area. They were used mostly in the 1700s and earlier.

The only drawback to the slant wall is that you cant move the curtains around asfreely. The doorway must stay in the center of the walls, and cannot be placed at thecorners.

THE SOD FLAP AND MARQUEES

One of the most beneficial options available on most tents is the 10 turn in flapat the base, called the sod flap. It especially comes in handy on wall tents, wedgetents and pyramid (hunters) tents.

Strangely enough it can actually be a 50/50 proposition on the marquee. Yourperimeter poles will sit on top of the sod flap unless you have slant walls. The pos-

itive side to this is that your wall curtain is held in place more firmly. The negativeside is that the pole can push the sod flap down into the mud and promote rotting inthat spot! Therefore, you need an extra barrier UNDER the sod flap to protect it.

Please keep this information in mind when choosing options for a marquee!

SCALLOPED EDGINGYou may choose from among the eight designs below for your marquee scal-

lops. We also do custom designs on request. Send a sketch for pricing.Styles E and G are slightly extra, but all the other styles are included in the

price of your tent.

A) Standard Scallop

B) George Washington

C) Straight Edge

D) Block Design

E) Dragons Tooth (Extra Cost)

F) King Arthur

G) Serpent Scales (Extra Cost)

H) Chivalry

Not to make your decision any harder, butlook at the choice of colors you have foryour scallop braid!

SPECIAL STOVE HOLE FLAP! Weve designed a special 3 wide piece of can-vas with the stove hole sewn in 4 feet up for marquees. This eliminates the need fora stove hole in your marquee curtains and enables you to move your stove any-where around the edge of your tent that you wish. It hangs in place just like the cur-tains. The cost for this special flap is $110.00. Its available ONLY on flame retar-dant tents. Checkout our camp stove on page 64!

ROOF VENTS

We can make these in virtually any size, depending on the size and style of yourtent. A reinforced lattice-style opening is covered by an oversized flap. You control

the flap from the ground with ropes. Think of it as a skylight that lets hot air escapefrom your tent!

MARQUEE POLE REQUIREMENTS

Our Complete Set Up Packages (See pg. 11) provide you with all the poles youneed to set up your tent. However, youll also get complete instructions on how tomake your own poles, just in case you want to go that route. Ridge poles can bemade from 2x4s and the ridge support uprights can be 3x3s or cut off tipi poles.2x2s can be used for the perimeter poles, or we can provide them (pg. 11). Never

cut your poles until you have your tent to use as a guide. This insures a goodcustom fit.If you go with our standard sized marquee (6 high walls) your perimeter poles will

need to be 6 long and your ridge support uprights will be 10 long. (less the diame-ter of your ridge pole).

7 walls are available for your marquee for $70 extra. This option is especiallypopular for stores because it provides easier access to the inside of the store forcustomers. If you choose this option your perimeter poles will need to be 7 long andyour two ridge uprights will be 11 long.

MEDIEVAL COLOR OPTIONMany of our Medieval customers like to add color to their marquee. We offer Red,

Blue, Black, Green, Yellow, Khaki and Purple in the Flame Retardant canvas. Seepage 9 for details!

CHOICES! CHOICES! CHOICES!

If you want colored canvas you must go with the flame retardant. It is heav-ier and more stiff than Sunforger, but the only way you can get color in the mainbody or walls of your marquee.

For all other marquees we prefer one of the Sunforgers, especially for stores.Sunforger is lighter weight, but just as strong and it allows plenty of natural lightto come through the canvas and illuminate the interior.

Of course, the 13 oz. Sunforger Flame retardant is the best on the market forANY type of primitive tent. While it may be more than youd need for occasion-al use, we highly recommend it for merchants.

For a full rundown on each type of canvas, see pg. 7.

I am extremely pleased with your service and the quality of work, and will happily show off my

THE SEAM ENGINEERING OPTION; ITS FREE!

If you like, you can have us Seam Engineer your tent. This is also calledSkeletal Framework Design, and what it means is that your pole positions(grommets or loops) are placed at every seam instead of at measured intervalsaround the tents perimeter. If you request this option, it is no additional charge.

Certain tents, like rounded or belled ones are made this way automatically bythe very nature of their design, but you have a choice on certain sizes of tentsthat are square or rectangular.

WHICH TENTS CAN BE SEAM ENGINEERED?

Any square or rectangular tent whose dimensions are divisible by 3 can beseam engineered. For example, a 9x12 marquee can be seam engineered.The resulting tent would actually measure about 83x11 (3 panels of canvaswide x 4 panels of canvas long minus an allowance for seams).

For your convenience, weve placed a * on the price chart beside any tent forwhich seam engineering is available. Please note that by choosing this optionyou will end up with a tent that is smaller than the normal size on the chart(see below).

THE BENEFITS OF SEAM ENGINEERING

All your roof seams will automatically line up with your wall seams, so yourtent has a more symmetrical look.

Also, because your poles are closer together, and because they are all linedup with your seams you can get a more rigid set up on a large tent such as amarquee. All of your support poles are about 33 apart from each other on thisstyle of tent and only full width panels of canvas are used.

THE DISADVANTAGES OF SEAM ENGINEERING

Your tent will require more poles for set-up. For example, our standard18x24 marquee takes 20 perimeter poles, but if it is seam engineered itneeds 30. More importantly, because each panel of canvas is only about 33

wide after allowing for seams, the actual size of our 18x24 marquee becomesabout 166x22 (8 panels long x 6 panels wide). Because canvas lots vary inwidth, these dimensions will vary.

Here are the approximate dimensions of our marquees after theyve beenseam engineered.

9x12 becomes about 83x11 15x15 becomes about 139x139

OVAL MARQUEES

You see a lot of these sprouting up at historical events. Theyre not as space eff-icent as the rectangular marquee, (a 10x14 oval marquee has 30% less squarefootage than its rectangular counterpart), but the rounded ends make the tent veryattractive. So, while you dont see too many of these used for stores theyve becomequite popular for family camps!

You get the same superior design and reinforcements as in our rectangular mar-quee, and you may choose between straight or slanted walls.

* STANDARD PEAK HT. IS 10 FEET, EAVE HT. IS 6 FOR EASY ACCESS!

Our standard 6 walls can be raised 6 or 12 for $70. Your peak ht. will be raisedby the same amount, and the set-up package will cost an extra $40.00.

CENTER POLE MARQUEES

If you are a merchant or camper who often goes to events alone, but you wantthe space of a marquee, our center pole design may be just what youve been look-ing for. The peak is supported by a single center pole instead of the standard three

pole configuration. This means that you can set this up by yourself. No more askingfor help raising the ridge pole!Weve designed the peaks on this tent to be taller. The result is a nicer looking

roof line and super quick drainage during rain showers!You get our unique curtain design and extra reinforcements (see pages 12-13)

along with your choice of scallop designs and braid colors (Pg. 14).

THE TRADERS TENT

This is a cross between a marquee and a wall tent. The ends of the roof are straightlike a wall tent but the 6 walls are detachable and move-able like our marquee tents.The peak is 10 on this tent. The flat end means that it is MUCH EASIER to have a flycoming off the end of your tent than with a marquee. Youll also have fewer perimeterpoles to carry because youll only need them on the sides, and not on the ends. Thetradeoff is a longer ridge pole.

This design is authentic to at least the 1700s and probably much earlier. The walltent and the marquee are among the oldest types of tents around, and there werecountless variations of each style.

Our standard Traders Tent comes with a straight edge and no braid on the valance.If youd like scalloping instead there is an extra charge. See page 14 for 8 scallop

designs and 16 braid colors to choose from! See below for pricing.Constructed with the same reinforcements and design features as our marquee.66 or 7 walls for the sizes below costs $70.00 more. (This will also increase the ht.of your center poles). Add $40 to the set-up package price for tents with 66 or7 walls.

MARQUEE FLYS

The very shape of the marquee presents unique challenges for attaching a fly. Itseems that there is no perfect solution, so weve developed three styles and listedthe pros and cons of each one for you.

ADD ON FLY WITH SCALLOPSFor rectangular marquees ONLY, this fly extends 10 ft. beyond the end of your

marquee. We make it slightly wider than your marquee, and it uses totally separateperimeter poles. Youll need a 10 ridge, another ridge support upright and a fewperimeter poles (7-9 depending on size) to set this up. It is a little tricky to set upbecause one end of the ridge pole rests on top of the ridge pole for the marqueeand this can be tough to get into place. You may need a stepladder!

However, this style makes the best looking marquee fly around, and if you dontmind the extra set up time, youll be pleased with all the extra room.

SIDE MOUNT RIDGE FLY

For rectangular or oval marquees, this fly attaches at the ridge line of your tent. Itcovers one entire side and extends approx. 8 to 12 past the eaves (depending onthe size of your tent). Youll need 2 to 5 perimeter poles to support the wider, flaredout end. Again, the tricky part is the set up. You must align the fly grommets with

those on the tent ridge line and spear them withthe center upright pins. Then youll need screwon finials (use threaded rod for upright pins)and/or guy ropes to keep everything in placewhile raising the tent and using the fly. Fewer

perimeter poles makes this fly an attractivealternative.

It is advisable to use guy ropes on the oppo-site side of the marquee (from the peak to theground) to counter the pulling action of the fly.

FLAT (SUN PORCH) FLY

For use with rectangular, center pole, ortraders tents, this marquee fly is the easiest toset up. We match up the grommets with thoseon the long side of your tent, and you add

perimeter poles along the other three sides.This comes out 10 from your tent. (Call forpricing on other sizes). Unlike the other twoflys, you will get water runoff at the gapbetween the fly and the tent, and youll need to lower the front edge of the fly to drainwater during a rain shower.

Our spoke wheel pavilion design features a heavy duty laminated wooden hub

and smooth sanded round poplar spokes. Double layered canvas pockets secure

the other end of each spoke, and the peak of the tent has our usual superior rein-

forcing. The eave has an extra layer of reinforcing that runs the entire perimeter of

the roofline.

THE SPOKE WHEEL CONCEPT

Nobody can say with absolute certainty just exact-

ly how the original Medieval pavilions were erected.

Many people, citing period artwork, believe they didnot use side poles. Some believe that the early pavil-

ions didnt rely solely on guy ropes to hold out the

eaves. There are depictions of pavilions, still holding

their full shape, with no ropes attached and just a

center pole visible.

How is this possible? The most logical answer is

either a suspended wheel or spokes to support the

eaves. Weve experimented with both and concludedthat the spoke wheel design is the better alternative.

Set up is as easy as 1-2-3!

1 - Stake the bottom of the walls

2 - Raise the center pole into place3 - Insert the spokes into the hub

THATS IT!

With this design, your spokes serve as rafters foreasy storage of lightweight items.

Ropes are added to the exterior eave loops for insurance against high winds.

SPOKE WHEEL VS. PERIMETER POLES

The obvious advantage of the spoke wheel design is the ease of transport. A

bundle of spokes takes up far less room than several perimeter poles, and oneperson can erect the spoke wheel in about half the time it takes for a perimeter

pole style. Also, the absence of the poles means more unobstructed floor space,

and the spokes are perfect for supporting partition curtains.

On the other hand, the use of perimeter poles gives you more places to hang

things. By using our pole hooks (Pg. 63) on each pole, you can hang clothing,

bags, etc. The spoke wheel can handle very light-weight items, but you should

not hang or store anything very heavy on the spokes.

THE CAROUSEL PAVILIONA beautiful round pavilion with two doorways for

better ventilation. The Carousel comes completewith a sleeved center pole, hub, spokes, stakes andwind ropes.

We generally make this as a one piece tent butdetachable walls with snaps and D-Rings are avail-able for an extra $65.00. Youll find that it is mucheasier to set up with the detachable walls becausethere is less bulk to deal with.

Shape fitted floors are also available. We makethem out of Sunforger canvas for minimum shrink-age, and they serve as a rough pattern for where to

drive your stakes for set-up. These are also avail-able in our Super Ground Cloth design (Pg. 59).

Painted roof and wall seams are available in anyof the acrylic paint colors shown on the inside frontcover.

spoke wheel design, we can make it for you for the prices below. This is basically a roundmarquee with reinforced brass grommets at the pole positions. Slanted walls are stan-dard, and all options (sod flap, color, floors, etc.) are the same price as for the CarouselPavilion shown above. Walls are made as a separate two curtain detachable piece withsnaps and D-Rings. Poles, ropes and stakes are sold separately for this pavilion.

THE IMPERIAL PAVILION

The perfect home when our Carousel Pavilion just isnt quite big enough. It is basi-cally two half spoke wheels connected by a middle section to form an oval livingspace. No perimeter poles are needed.

The Imperial is made with detachable curtains, which are held in place by snapsand D-Rings. We install two archway door openings, opposite each other for venti-

lation. Each opening comes with a removable door flap that can be tied securelyclosed from inside or out.

The walls are 66 tall, and they slant out two feet, to provide an extra 4 feet to thewidth and length of the tent base. (The 8x16 size is 12x20 at the base.)

This beautiful pavilion comes complete with two sleeved center upright poles,hubs, spokes, stakes and wind ropes. In 2007 we added an 8 ridge pole to this tentfor improved stability and easier set up. We also offer a shape fitted three piece floormade of Sunforger canvas or our Super Ground Cloth option (Pg. 59). These serveas a rough pattern for where to drive your stakes for set up.

OPTIONAL CANOPY FLY - 8 wide x 8 deep, this attaches to the tent under the

scalloped edging, over either of your doorways. The front is supported by three 6poles with guy ropes (sold separately).

THE HENRY VIII PAVILION

The 400 pavilions erected at a 1520 meeting between Henry VIII and Francis I

were so ornate that they were dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World. Our Henry

VIII Pavilion is taken from artists recordings of this summit, known as the Field of

the Cloth of Gold.

Two complete Carousel spoke wheel pavilions, connected by a hallway, create

the most beautiful pavilion anywhere! Archway door openings with removable door

flaps grace opposite sides of the hallway for your main entrances. Weve also

installed an extra overflap-facing style door in the rear of each round end for more

private access.

UNMATCHED FLEXIBILITY!

The walls are detachable, and weve designed the two round ends so that they

can be used as independent Carousel pavilions when desired. When combined as

shown above, each of the rounds has the ability to be closed off from the rest of the

pavilion for privacy.

The Henry VIII Pavilion comes with two sleeved center poles, hubs, spokes, an

extended sleeved ridge pole, stakes and wind ropes.

The roof portion is square while the base of the slanted walls is an octagon. Thisgives you LOTS OF ROOM without having to cart around all those poles!

The Regent is a one piece tent, made with two doorways to give you plenty ofventilation on hot days! Above each door we sew a flap so that you can add acanopy fly on either, or both sides of your tent. These flaps are standard on allRegent Pavilions and they have D-Rings sewn underneath for attaching the fly. Ifyou order the fly it will drastically increase your outside socializing area. We makethese the same width as the eave of your tent and they extend 12 forward. The flysattach above your doorway with snaps and D-rings and two matching grommets togo over your tents corner pole pins. The front edge of the fly uses two 6 uprightpoles, and a central prop pole provides slope for rain. All three of these poles, aswell as ropes and stakes are included in the Set-Up Package for the canopy fly.

Our shape fitted floors are available in Sunforger canvas for minimum shrinkage.We also offer them in our Super Ground Cloth design (Pg.59)

THE ANGLO-SAXON GETELDAn early ancestor of todays wedge

tent! The Geteld is of North European ori-gin. It is illustrated in many early manu-scripts, including the Utrecht Psalter (820A.D.), where the doors are shown to haveties for closure.

Our Getelds, like the early illustrations,are made with a longer base than ridgeline and finished off with a tapered door ateach end. The ridge pole is situated in aspecially designed sleeve above thepeak and it extends 6 beyond each end

of the tents ridge line.

THE BELL OF ARMS

Historically correct for Rev. War and French & IndianWar eras, this was used by military units to store theirguns. We make this 610 tall and about 52 in diameter.Our set-up package includes the center pole that has across-dowel to support the firearms. Also included in theset-up package is a wooden finial to cap the peak.

SINGLE POLE CONICAL TENT

This was a very common design. Its hey-day was with the British army during themid 19th century, but the design is authen-tic all the way back to medieval times.

Supported entirely by a single centerpole and several stakes, this is an effi-cient way to get lots of space with fewerpoles. The round base means that its notas space efficient as the pyramid stylesingle pole (page 44), but the pyramid isonly authentic back to the fur trade era.(1820-1840).

The conical tent is similar to the BritishBell Tent (next page) but with no wallsor vents.

...I was investigating all of the various types of shelters I saw set up by the re-enactors. I approached

one soldier as he emerged dry and warm from his pavilion and I said Excuse me, but who made

your pavilion sir? He smiled and said Panther Primitives, and Im real happy with it. You guys are

a godsend to the re-enactor!

THE BRITISH OFFICERS TENT (SUBALTERN TENT)

We make two sizes of this British officers tent. The design and dimensions arebased on authentic documentation from 1778. Its a one piece design, like a wall tent.

The peak comes with grommets so you can place finials at the top of your tent.Weve added an extra door for better ventilation. The walls are 48 tall and designedto tie off with 14 ropes approx. 12 long. This means that you need only three polesfor set up. The small size takes a 4 ridge pole. The large takes a 6 ridge pole. See

below for alternate design style.

THE BRITISH BELL TENT

Used during the Napoleonic Period and Crimean War, this tent is erected usingonly one pole 910 long. It measures 126 in diameter and has a 17 high wall. Thedoorway is in two sections where the top and bottom are separately functional. Thepeak has a thirteen ounce brown canvas cone withgrommet. Small ventilators in the peak help keep theair circulating. Although there are references to these

bell tents in letters dating to 1794, widespread use bythe British army did not begin until about 1810.

STANDARD WEDGE TENTS

CHECK OUT OUR MILITARY WEDGES!!! PAGE 34.

The KIDS WEDGE is a greatway to give mom and dad a little

privacy, and instill a sense ofresponsibility into the kids. It canbe set-up with just 2-6 uprights,2 ropes and 12 stakes!

Our wedge tents give you lots of room whileneeding just 3 poles!

PEAK GROMMETS ARE STANDARDWeve found that it is nice to have the added flexibility that peak grommets give

you. They are particularly helpful when it comes to adding on a tent fly (SEE PAGE42 FOR OUR TENT FLYS). If you do not want peak grommets just let us know, and

well leave them off!

OPTIONAL BELL BACKThe bells on our standard wedges extend the length of the tent base without any

change in the ridge pole length. The advantage is added space for storing gear. Ifyoud like this option, it is available both with and without a door in the bell.

SOD FLAPWe highly recommend sod flap for all of the tents we make. The sod flap is a 10

turn in along the base of the tent. It seals gaps due to uneven ground and we put it on

all four sides of your wedge tent. If youd like a bell back, we put a separate piece ofsod flap on each panel of the bell for maximum coverage, so there is an extra charge.

SIZESThe chart on the next page shows you our standard sizes of wedge tents. Our

REALLY BIG Medieval wedges can be found on page 30, and of course, we canmake you any size you want. Just send in a sketch with the dimensions and wellget you a price.

We received our order for a Monster Wedge tent last week. We had high expectations with regards toquality and workmanship based on your advertising claims, but I must say you exceeded our expecta-

tions. We are quite pleased with the quality of the fabric, the tailoring, the design, and basically the over-

all quality of the product. I am glad we chose Panther and will be telling others to do the same.

WERE FAMOUS FOR OUR WALL TENTS

The wall tent has left a long trail through history. It has been used for centuriesand it came in all sorts of sizes.

Its popularity lives on today through buckskinning and re-enacting. At PantherPrimitives were famous for our wall tents! The extra height on the peak and the side

walls gives you MORE HEADROOM than most tents, and the traditional inside poledesign makes for easier set up.

THE TRADITIONAL INSIDE POLE DESIGNThe inside pole, or eastern style wall tent is the oldest and most authentic wall

tent design. It can be set up with as few as three poles; two uprights and a ridgepole. Using this set up, guy ropes are attached to the loops at the tops of the wallsand staked out along both sides of the tent.

Another variation of this set up involves running a sidepole horizontally throughthe loops at the top of each wall and supporting it with a couple of short uprights and4 or 5 short guy ropes. This method takes up less set up space but requires haul-ing some extra poles. Our complete set up instructions show you how to do BOTH

of these methods, including pole lengths, number and length of ropes, stakes, etc.

WHICH WALL TENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Although selecting the right size is often a matter of personal preference, thereare a couple of things to remember when choosing. For instance, what you use forpole transport may limit the size of ridge pole you can haul. The longest poles youwill have are usually the ridge pole (same length as your tent) and the outside wallpole (about one foot longer than your tent). We offer steel sleeves for spl
