Choosing a Pavilion
for your best needs
A new era is at hand in
the SCA. More and more people are looking for authentic-looking
pavilions, tents, and canopies for their outdoor events across the
country. Just as was the case with armor and other artifacts, the
first pavilions people tend to build are imitations of what they saw in the
movies. Later, they discover to their chargin that there were many
period pictures available, and they've just sunk a lot of cash into a
Victorian invention or a circus tent.
Worse yet, you could end
up paying for a merchanting pavilion when you really needed the little-known
features of a true residential model.
Bill Walter Four Seasons Tentmasters
offers a variety of sizes in most all the styles shown either in the catalog
(please call us to request one) or on this site (transcribed in limited
amounts). We welcome you to utilize the resources on each of
the product pages as well as the Information link for sizing charts and
other references before blindly purchasing a tent or pavilion that does not
meet your needs. We encourage you firstly to ask yourself these
questions:
Firstly,
are you choosing the pavilion as a merchant or as a group (shire,
barony, household), family, or individual?
Secondly,
do you plan to house merchandising or any group over four adults?
Due to space configurations with this quantity of people, you will need
a perimeter pole model, whether round, square, rectangle, or round end
rectangle (sometimes called oval though this is not correct).
Thirdly,
for a smaller group, couple, or family, we would like to offer to you
many perimeter pole and dividing / folding wall options to allow
merchant windows, but is this what you really need?
In addition, we are more than happy to answer any and all questions you have
regarding potential purchases for your event, faire, booth, merchant,
camping, or reenactment needs. You
