I need a tent that is approx. 10'x10', tall enough to stand up in, and at least sort of period ish. A canvas wedge tent or the like would be fine. Anyone have anything?

Great price for it. I know people who own one and swear by it.

Basically the same tent, different canvas. I'm considering getting one myself. The white one says it has "heavy duty" canvas. The grey one says it has "medium" canvas.

the wall tent was used from Roman times all the way up to current times. Great tents. Period tent that goes up in 15 mins. I love mine.

Nothing wrong with that tent.
Especially if you are on a budget. One thing of note is that the color of that grey makes the tent look more "dirty" than grey.
But, like I said, if you are on a budget, that tent will work well. Good size for a one man tent.
My wall tent is 10x12 with a 7.5ft peak and 4 ft walls.

Will it make it hot in summer heat?

Not sure, since my pavilion is white canvas. Will still most likely be less hot than a nylon tent.

I am thinking that a darker color tent will absorb more heat than a white tent, however given my budget I kinda have to except that the tent might not be perfect. This one sounds like about the best bang for my buck. And its better than a walmart nylon tent any day (or so I hope)

The one I've seen is significantly lighter in shade than the image pictured on the sight.
while there might a little difference between the light grey and "white" I don't think it would all that significant. Still Significantly better than y Nylon tent.
