Introducing the All Purpose Fly. A versatile flysheet made from a durable military grade canvas that can withstand harsh weather conditions in any unpredictable environment. It enhances your camping experience for all-season weather. It can also serve as a separate shelter if needed.

Extra Protection for a Bell Tent: Although all CanvasCamp tents are waterproof and treated for mold and UV resistance, the Fly acts as a double roof which provides double the protection. This second roof keeps rain and snow off of your tent while still allowing the canvas to breathe freely underneath it. Organic materials like dead leaves and bird poop can cause stains and mold, the fly makes it easy to keep your tent clean by preventing nature from soiling your canvas in the first place. As a sunshade for your bell tent, the fly blocks 90% of damaging rays from the sun which can erode the protective treatment on your canvas over time.

Dirt & Rainprotect: Imagine you are camping in a forest area where there are many trees and birds around your bell tent. You love the natural scenery, but you also want to keep your tent clean and dry. You don’t want to deal with dead leaves, bird droppings, sap, or rain that can stain and damage your canvas.
UV Protection: If you are camping in a desert area where the sun is very strong and the nights are cold, you can use the fly to keep your tent cooler during the day and warmer at night. The fly is made of lightweight nylon and can be pitched on its own as a shelter or a sunshade with compatible poles.
