Armbruster Manufacturing Company has been producing tents since 1875, and we began manufacturing military tents and flys during World War I when we received our first government contracts. We are pleased to again offer reproduction tent flys that can be used to fit over wall tents for better rain protection and cooling, or stand alone as a separate shaded area. Our flys are authentic and built to last. If you are a historical re-enactor, museum, set designer or just appreciate historical reproductions, why not purchase a tent or tent fly from the manufacturer who made these through both world wars?
