<p>While reading through <a href="https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/q/18846/3076">this question</a> about adding a stove jack to a canvas tent originally lacking one, I wondered about the feasibility of making an existing canvas tent fire retardant. Is it simply a matter of adding an additional material or chemical layer to the canvas, or is the process of making the canvas fire-retardant a component of the canvas-making process itself?</p> <p>For example, is it possible to send a non-fire-retardant canvas tent back to the manufacturer to be made fire retardant, or is it going to be that the customer would need to purchase another tent that is fire-retardant from the start? </p> <p><strong>In general, how are canvas tents made to be fire retardant?</strong></p>
