Here we grow again

Despite the negative economic news, Pinnacle Tents is thriving and has outgrown its current warehouse and is opening up a brand new warehouse right here in Phoenix, Arizona. We are very excited about the move because we can give our customers faster and more reliable service. For our consumer customers we will have a later cut off time to ship the same day when orders are received. This means faster shipments to you and for our local customers free will call pick up service. For our commercial customers, we can now offer better and faster packaging, labeling, palletizing, shipping rates, and quicker truckload freight shipments. During this transition period from May 1, 2009 to May 21, 2009 you may experience some delays to our normal quick shipping service but after May 21, 2009 it will all be worth it. We’ll be posting some of our new warehouse pictures soon.

Self Erecting Pop Up Tent - New Design

NEWS: We were excited to have the opportunity to exhibit our tents this year at the OUTDOOR RETAILER SHOW in Salt Lake City from 8/8-8/11/2008. After over a year of design work, we showcased our new patent pending pop up self erecting style tent and it got rave reviews and generated a lot of excitement from visitors at our booth. The show allowed us to show off our newly designed tents and also spotlight the versatility of our tent manufacturing that we have done for the Girl Scouts, US Military, Jack Daniels, Snap-On Tools, Grand Canyon Expeditions, Naturalists at Large and a host of other outfitters, retreat centers, and individual campers. Of course, along with all the work we got to have some fun too. The outdoor industry has a unique casualness and we met a lot of friendly people, attended some great parties at the show and gatherings outside the show. I would recommend doing whatever you can to make your way to the show in the future as you get to see all the new gear and it is always a fun time by all. Hope to see you all there next year! Check out and order our limited offered Pop up Tents.

Here is the much awaited redesign of our pop up self erecting tent. It is much more durable and waterproof than previous self erecting tent designs. It has an unbreakable spring steel frame. We listened to your suggestions and worked on better materials and a new roof design. We are making 4 different model tents. These tents started shipping at the end of November 2008. We are manufacturing limited quantities and you can buy one now at our consumer website. Please leave us a comment if you have some time. See a video of how easy it is to fold our pop up tents at the following link - Pinnacle Tents Pop Up Tent Folding. Check out our new pop up tent brochures at:

Outstanding Tents

I headed the committee that purchased twenty Pinnacle tents for our meditation center. We've used tents for a number of years and have lots of experience -- some of it very trying. The last batch of tents we tried barely lasted through the season. That's when we found Pinnacle. We noted numerous benefits in using Pinnacle's #644 tent: larger windows, better zippers (bigger and stronger), heavier floor -- the list goes on. And, the extended rain fly helped keep out the undesirable weather (we get lots of it in New England -- our tents are up from May to September). And, any questions, concerns and the like have been handled quickly and efficiently. It's been a real pleasure to work with Pinnacle.

Thank You to Our Tent Customers - Peru Earthquake Relief

Thanks to all of our tent customers for your patience during our large scale humanitarian earthquake relief effort that we spearheaded in Peru towards the end of 2007. Our entire stock of camping tents was shipped to Peru to help provide temporary housing for the victims of the earthquake. Our customers were very understanding about us being out of stock on tents that they needed and were very patient while our tent factories manufactured more tents for our warehouses. We now have all of our canvas tents, wall tents, cabin tents, canopy tents, and dome tents back in stock and will produce more as needed. Pinnacle Tents thanks you again for all of your support during our involvement in this relief effort.

Our Newly Redesigned Four Room Cabin Tent "The Condo"

Here is a little preview of our newly redesigned 4 room cabin tent our customers affectionately call "the condo". The picture on the left shows it with the rain fly on and the one on the right shows how the tent is suspended under the frame. The frame is sandwiched in between the tent (below the scissor type frame) and the rain fly (above the scissor type frame). Of course the colors are just with test material and the final colors will be a royal blue and grey but you get the idea. It is now available to purchase via Four Room Cabin Tent - detailed spec., and let us know what you think.

Update: Some new photos of our four room cabin tent with the ultimate furnishings from one of our customers. Thanks Doug.
