I was wondering just yesterday if one of those car port style tarp doohickies with a propane heater inside would work. Cheap at costco, big and weather resistant.

The trouble with propane heat especially in a plastic tarp is the moisture collects and it "rains" inside the enclosure. Wood heat works but you have to have a wall made of something other than plastic behind the stove.Originally Posted by BiG Boar

we did this for 3 seasons , worked very well with either wood stove or propane heater

I wonder if the canvas isn't better at retaining heat....and heavier thus less likely to be blown around.....
...shoot straight and shoot high.......
the car port works great. Use plywood on each end with a wood stove up at the ranch...you can't beat the price and comfort.

This set up definately works great. The Costco units are around $200 bucks and come with windows now and the corners seal up much better. I have the older version which I cut down the uprights down about 16"; but there is still tons of head room. Use plywood or OSB for the wood stove end and a sheet metal sleeve for the pipe. Fashion a door in the other end out of the same material and you have a cozy structure with tons of room. I agree you get some condensation, but I think that could be easily over come by installing a vent in the peak (on the to do list).
A wall tent is the real deal, but this is pretty liveable at a fraction of the cost. The other nice touch is that you do not have to worry about mildew or rot.

use a canvas tarp for roof the tarps for the walls not a one piece tent but all seperate pieces built around a log frame should work pretty good and a lot lighter for boating in back packin in
