Im currently looking to buy a round natural white pavillon around 8-9 foot of diameter.

I need any suggestions and links please. Preferably in the US or Canada.

It's for XVth century reenactment.

Thank for the help !

Tentsmiths in Concord New Hampshire is a company that a lot of folks on the board use. They even are willing to consider custom designs.

We have a Past Tents Burgundian that we had shipped from England. Ours is a real Past Tents bought from John Waters.

Caveat Emptor on this one- The white tent featured is NOT a Past Tents tent- read the text CAREFULLY!!

These new tents are made from specially woven 14oz canvas, are both FIRE RETARDANT and WATER RESISTANT. The canvas is as tight and well made as the European tents we also like to offer

and

Colored versions of this tent are available. These are imported from England

"Past Tents" is the name of a UK company. I know that Chivalry -had- a contract to distribute PT products, but the copy leads me to believe the tent being offered is no longer being made by Past Tents. It looks like the same design but made out of aluminum and whatnot. Definately NOT a tent for reenactment, and definately NOT a "Past Tents" tent.

I have an email to Past Tents asking for clarification regarding the design/manufacture/name issue.

Which is why I indicated "new source". I saw the aluminum poles.

Our Burgundian came from England as at the time, it was actually less expensive than the US distributor, even after S&H. But that was a few years ago.

Tentsmiths might be your best bet depending on where in Canada/US you are located.

Although an unauthorized ripoff of John's design, the aluminum pole "Past Tents" are not made by Past Tents, they're being made in China.

I've alerted John to this thread and have encouraged him to post a statement about what's going on with Past Tents and the Revival tents being marketed under the "Past Tents America" name.

Serious Caveat Emptor here folks, which I got straight from the horse's mouth. If you want a Past Tents tent, at this point you can ONLY get it directly from Past Tents in the UK:
