Vintage JC Higgins Sporting Goods canvas umbrella tent as pictured. So cool! Tag reads 10 x 12 size. Our "actual" measurements set up as shown in listing pics were closer to 10 x 11. Center height as set up in pics is approx 88".
Tent sets up by using one of the side poles to elevate the umbrella mechanism in the center. Then remove the pole for corner use after first positioning the other 3 corner poles.
Metal full-length separ...ating zipper (like on a jacket) centered on canvas front entry. Separate zippered screen in front of that. Note that the zipper screen will need repair at bottom left panel (pic #10). All zippers appear to function as purposed. Canvas inner door stops short of roofline (by design), allowing ventilation through screen at top. Drop down front "awning" can be tied down to close things up.
Floor inside of tent is olive green canvas. We located one "poke" in the floor, about 1/2" in size. Also, we saw 2 tiny pieces of duct tape on lower tent wall but were unable to locate a corresponding poke from the outside of the tent.
Tent has been camped, as seen in listing pics, but is sturdy and ready to go again. We've dusted the outside with a dry broom to remove old garage dust, but have done nothing further to attempt cleaning/restoring. Note that my personal stakes and tie-out ropes are not included. UN-packed, un-boxed weight just over 45 pounds. Shipping offered via USPS or FedEx Ground. Please refer to listing pics and email with questions. Thanks!
Note - Check our other listings for more vintage camping gear (more canvas tents, lanterns, etc). Thanks!
